Ribouchon Sends Sanechika to the Rail

Maxime Taldir

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Last year's WSOP Millionaire Maker runner-up Florian Ribouchon defended from the big blind after Nana Sanechika opened to 1,000 from middle position.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♣2♣10♥ and both players checked. But on the 6♣ turn, Ribouchon bet 800. Sanechika raised to 2,500, then called for her last 17,000 after Ribouchon moved all-in.

Nana Sanechika: J♠10♦ All in
Florian Ribouchon: K♣Q♣

Sanechika called with two pair but ran into Ribouchon's flush, so she was eliminated after the 2♥ river.

With the board reading J♣5♦9♦K♥9♠ and about 50,000 in the middle, Koveh Waysei checked from the small blind and Victoria Livschitz bet 25,000 from under the gun. Waysei made the call.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Four-handed on a flop of 4♥9♦10♦, Romain Bailleul bet 2,000 from middle position and Daniel Samson called in the cutoff, as did an opponent in the big blind.

The turn was the 3♠ and Bailleul bet 5,000. Samson then raised to 20,000 and the big blind folded, while Bailleul snap-called for his last 19,700.

He showed A♦10♠ for top pair, while Samson had 5♦2♦ for straight and flush draws. Samson missed all his draws on the Q♣ river and Bailleul held on to double up.

Texas Mike Hits the Rail

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Michael Moncek raised to 900 from middle position, and Aristide Carozza in the cutoff made the call. Then the small blind Chris Dandrea three-bet to 3,300. After it folded back to Moncek, he four-bet all in for 19,100. Carozza folded, and after confirming the count Dandrea made the call.

Michael Moncek: A♦7♦ All in
Chris Dandrea: A♠K♥

Moncek was dominated by the ace-king of Dandrea, and the 9♣Q♠3♦ flop was no help to Moncek. The 10♦ on the turn did bring Moncek more outs with a flush draw. But when the 9♠ hit the river, Dandrea's ace-king high was still best, and Moncek was eliminated from the tournament.

Baker Back Above Starting

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

David "Bakes" Baker has been relatively short for much of the day but just won a large three-way pot to move back over starting stack.

Baker opened to 1,500 from middle position and was called by a player in middle position. Jane Hitchcock then three-bet to 3,300 out of the small blind, receiving calls from both of her opponents.

Hitchcock continued for 5,000 on the 7♣7♠8♦ flop but was unable to shake off either of her opponents as both Baker and the middle position player made the call.

The Q♦ turn saw Hitchcock bet again, this time pushing 5,100 into the middle. Again, both of her opponents called.

Hitchcock slowed down following the Q♠ river, checking to Baker who bet 15,000. The middle position player vacated the pot while Hitchcock snapped off the bet with AxAx. Baker had her beat, however, as he held 8♣8♥ for the turned boat to scoop a big pot.

Marder Leads Out

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player opened to 1,200 in the first position, which saw a player in the small blind call and Michael Marder in the big blind call as well.

The flop of 3♥5♥4♣ saw Marder bet 1,500 when action reached him, and only the under-the-gun player called.

Marder sized up to 3,000 on the K♠ turn and once more was called.

On the river 4♥, Marder bet 10,000, and his opponent went into the tank. After some thought, his opponent folded, and the WSOPC ring winner took the pot down without showdown.

With around 10,000 in the pot, three players checked a flop of 5♥3♥Q♥. Hossein Ensan then bet 3,900 from under the gun on the 9♦ turn and only Ivan Stankov called.

The river was the 7♥ and Ensan fired out 9,500. Stankov tanked for a minute but eventually folded as the 2019 Main Event champion added to his big stack.

Alek Gillies

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Colten Yamagishi raised to 1,00 from under the gun and the button raised to 5,000. He made the call.

The flop came Q♥6♠7♦, and Yamagishi was quick to check. The button continued for 4,000, and Yamagishi made the call.

While the turn peeled 4♠, Yamagishi again checked. His opponent fired for 10,000, and Yamagishi moved all in for 41,000. The button made the call, and both players revealed their hands.

Button: A♠Q♦ All in
Colten Yamagishi: Q♠Q♣

The river was unnecessary as it came the 10♣, with the button's hand drawing dead after the turn.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Erick Lindgren in the small blind and Luke Martinelli in middle position.

The board read K♥Q♥3♠5♦ and Lindgren checked over to Martinelli who bet 12,000 into a pot worth 16,500, which Lindgren called.

On the river A♠, Lindgren checked once more over to Martinelli who moved all in for 34,500 total and Lindgren went into the tank. After some thought he tossed his hand into the muck, leaving Martinelli to scoop a sizable pot.
