Dogra Dogra Hits the River

Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Alberto Cigliano opened to 325,000 from the cutoff, and Harcharan Dogra Dogra called in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 58J, and both players agreed on a bet of 160,000. Then on the turn K, Dogra Dogra decided to go all in for 830,000 chips. Cigliano went into the tank, and eventually called with a bigger stack.

Harcharan Dogra Dogra: KQ
Alberto Cigliano: KQ

"Yes!" shouted Dogra Dogra when he hit a flush on the river A. Thanks to this card, he avoided a split and doubled up.

Full House for Tocci

Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Michele Tocci defended from the big blind after Levan Rcheulishvili opened to 325,000 from the button.

Tocci called a continuation bet of 225,000 on the flop KK7, but he checked on the turn A. Rcheulishvili checked back, and there was no more action on the river 4, as both players checked again.

First player to reveal his cards, Tocci showed 77 for a hidden full house. Seeing that, Rcheulishvili mucked his cards.

Heads-up to the KQ32 turn, Luigi Shehadeh checked out of the big blind. Martynas Brazdžionis bet 675,000 from an early position but folded to the shove by Shehadeh.

One table over, the turn showed Q825 and Eusebiu Jalba bet 625,000 in the small blind. Georges Chehade tanked in the big blind before he called and Ihar Khursin also came along. That brought a trio of players to the 4 river on which Jalba bet 1,200,000.

Chehade and Khursin folded to award the pot to Jalba.

Hen Fades Many Outs to Triple Up

Level 28 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Ihar Khursin opened to 330,000 from the cutoff and Mikael Hen called from the small blind, leaving just 45,000 behind. Juan Lamprea defended from the big blind.

The flop came Q24 and Hen moved all in for his last 45,000. Lamprea called before Khursin raised to 360,000. Lamprea raised to 1,640,000, leaving only 420,000 behind, and after briefly considering his options Khursin opted to fold leaving Hen all in and at risk against Lamprea.

Mikael Hen: KQ
Juan Lamprea: 62

Hen was ahead with top pair but still had to fade any two, six or club from Lamprea, who had flopped bottom pair with a flush draw. The 7 turn and 9 river were clean and Hen secured a full triple up.

Marius Gicovanu limped out of the small blind and Daniel Lehmann added another 500,000 on top out of the big blind, which Gicovanu called.

The flop brought AK4 and Gicovanu checked, Lehmann instantly bet 900,000. What followed was the limp-shove by Gicovanu for 4,490,000 and Lehmann folded after asking for an exact count.

"Did you have ace-queen with the queen of spades?" Lehmann inquired but Gicovanu shook his head.
