Pansier Ships It In

Dan O'Hair

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With tens of thousands worth of chips already in the middle on a board of K♠Q♠4♥7♣, Nino Pansier checked from early position to Dario Alioto, who shoved for around 70,000 from the cutoff.

Pansier went deep into the tank before the clock was eventually called by a tablemate. Pansier looked pained and decided to toss his hand into the muck as his time winded down, sending the sizable pot Alioto’s way.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Aku Joentausta and Arturo Paduano were already all in for a massive pot on a board of 4♥4♦10♦3♠. Paduano was in the big blind and had Joesntausta, who was on the button, covered at and risk.

Aku Joentausta: K♠Q♣8♣4♠
Arturo Paduano: J♠10♠9♣4♣

Joentausta found himself drawing to a bigger full house against Paduano’s flopped boat, but the 8♠ river wasn’t enough — sending Joentausta to re-enter should he choose early on Day 1.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Omar Eljach had raised a previous open to 6,000 from middle position, only for Grzegorz Derkowski to four-bet it to 25,300 from the hijack. Arturo Paduano then five-bet to 83,000 from the button and received calls from both Eljach and Derkowski.

The flop came 8♦7♦3♦. Eljach moved all in for 19,400 and Derkowski reshoved for 25,900. Paduano called with a covering stack to put both players at risk.

Omar Eljach: K♦8♠6♠4♦
Grzegorz Derkowski: Q♥Q♦J♥9♦
Arturo Paduano: A♠A♣K♣9♠

The rest of the board ran out 5♠A♦. Eljach's nut-flush was best and he scooped a titanic pot worth nearly 800 big blinds while Derkowski took the side pot with a smaller flush.

Omar Eljach	316,000 218,000	218,000

Arturo Paduano	98,000 -107,000	-107,000

Symeon Alexandridis opened to 2,000 in the cutoff and found one caller in Nikolaos Kofinakos in the big blind.

Kofinakos led out for 2,500 on the 3♠K♠8♣ flop and Alexandridis called.

The K♦ turn paired the board and Kofinakos kept his foot on the gas for a 4,000 bet. This time, Alexandridis rapped the table and sent his hand into the muck — awarding the pot to Kofinakos.

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three ways on a 5♥2♣J♠ flop, Gergo Nagy checked from the small blind and Barny Boatman checked from middle position to Michael Rodrigues, who was in the cutoff. Rodrigues bet 4,000 and both Nagy and Boatman called.

The 8♥ fell on the turn and action again checked to Rodrigues, who sized up for a 10,500 bet. Nagy then check-raised to 49,000, which got a fold from Boatman and a call from Rodrigues, who was left with just 10,500 behind.

The J♣ completed the board and Nagy bet enough to put Rodrigues all in. Rodrigues quickly folded and Nagy added to his stack.
