Tian Doubles With Aces

Laura Fryer
Laura Fryer
Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Bernat Carreras opened the hijack to 80,000 and Najib Shacar was on the button and the only caller.

The flop came Q?10?3? and both players checked to the 4? turn and 4? river.

Carreras bet 160,000 and Shacar folded, leaving Carreras to pick up a small pot.

A few hands later on the same table action folded to Badr Douch on the button, who opened to 80,000. Mengshi Tian raised to 180,000 and Douch moved all in, covering Tians remaining 800,000 stack. Tian made the call and the players flipped their hands.

Mengshi Tian: A?A?All in
Badr Douch: 6?6?

Tian was looking to hold and both players missed on the 4?J?8? flop, and the 3? 3? runout secured Tian the Double.

In a three-way preflop confrontation Ivan Zhechev was all in from the cutoff for around 800,000 and Jordan Sparagana was all in from blinds for a bit more. They were at risk against Marian Dicu in middle position, who had started the hand with a bit over 1,100,000.

Ivan Zhechev: K?K? All in
Jordan Sparagana: K?K? All in
Marian Dicu: A?A?

Dicu was in unbelievably good shape with pocket aces against two opponents who each had pocket kings, needing only to avoid four hearts, four diamonds or a straight runout to triple up. He did just that when the board came 3?2?6?9?6?. Dicu dragged in a pot worth nearly three million in chips while both Zhechev and Sparagana made their exit from the tournament area in brutal fashion.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jan-Eric Schwippert three-bet shoved for 500,000 from the button over a Davide Schianchi open from under the gun. After the blinds folded Schianchi called.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: Q?J? All in
Davide Schianchi: K?K?

Schianchi looked set to send another player to rail, and even more so on the A?3?8? flop. However, the 10? turn gave Schwippert a straight draw, which he managed to find on the K? river. Schianchi had rivered a set of kings, but it was Schwippert who dragged in the pot with his straight.

Christophe Pommier opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Rania Nasreddine defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of J?J?2?Q?A?. Nasreddine checked and Pommier bet 100,000. Nasreddine went into the tank for a couple of minutes before folding, showing the 2? from her hand as she did so.

Pommier showed that he had J?J? for flopped quads before dragging in a small pot.

Action folded to Noah Boeken who raised to 80,000 from the button. Brandon Sheils called the small blind and Berthold Winz moved all in from the big blind for his remaining 700,000 stack. Boeken called and Sheils folded, leaving the players heads up.

Berthold Winz: J?J?All in
Noah Boeken: 10?10?

Winz was looking to hold and the A?2?6? flop didn't cause him any concern. The Q? turn and 3? river sealed his double and another player remarked "Welcome to the table," as Winz counted his new stack.

Leandro Cardoso opened from the hijack to 80,000 and was called by Salvatore Camarda out of the big blind.

Both players checked the 5?J?3? flop for the A? to come on the turn. Camarda check-called a bet of 160,000 from Cardoso and they headed to the river.

The 6? river was checked through and Cardoso took down the pot with A?2? for a turned pair of aces, as Camarda showed J?10? for a pair of jacks.

Renato Grossi got the last of his chips in the middle preflop, and Davide Schianchi made the call to try to send him to the rail.

Renato Grossi: 6?6? All in
Davide Schianchi: A?K?

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Grzegorz Kozieja opened to 80,000 from middle position and Jordan Sparagana three-bet shoved for 600,000 from the cutoff. Kozieja snap-called with a covering stack to put Sparagana at risk.

Jordan Sparagana: A?Q? All in
Grzegorz Kozieja: A?K?

Sparagana was dominated preflop but took the lead after spiking top pair on the Q?4?2? flop. He remained ahead on the 6? turn and 9? river to score a full double up through Kozieja who, despite the setback, still easily holds the biggest stack in the room.
