Lococo Uses his Magic to Find a Ten on the River

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Fabian Schmidt opened 2,000 in middle position, and Hubert Baran-Osinski three-bet to 5,800 next to act. Alejandro Lococo flatted on the button and Schmidt jammed for about 33,000. Baran-Osinski folded, but Lococo quickly made the call.

Fabian Schmidt: J♥J♣
Alejandro Lococo: 10♥10♣

Schmidt was in great shape as the A♠K♣3♠ flop hit the felt. Lococo started saying a bunch of words in Spanish, presumably, 'ten is coming' as he motioned enthusiastically towards the board. The 6♣ hit the turn changing nothing, but it seems whatever Lococo did worked as the 10♠ fell on the river.

To add salt to the wound Baran-Osinski mentioned, "That was a one-outer. I folded a ten." As Schmidt left the table.

Farrell (Nearly) Shoves the River

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Niall Farrell raised to 2,200 from under the gun and was called by Alexandre Reard in the hijack and Santhosh Suvarna in the big blind.

Action checked through on the 6♣6♠Q♠ flop and then Suvarna led out for 4,100 after the K♠ fell on the turn. Both Farrell and Reard called.

The 10♣ completed the board and Suvarna bet again — this time for 13,000. Farrell used up a time bank and then raised to 33,600, leaving himself a single 100-denomination chip behind. Reard folded and Suvarna went deep into the tank.

Suvarna eventually opted to let his hand go and Farrell collected a nice pot.

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Alexander Ivarsson opened 2,000 under the gun, and Markku Koplimaa three-bet 6,000 on the button. Ivarsson put in a four-bet to 14,000 before Koplimaa jammed for about 55,000 and Koplimaa snap-called.

Markku Koplimaa: A♥K♥
Alexander Ivarsson: A♣A♠

Koplimaa couldn't defeat the aces of Ivarsson as the board ran out Q♠8♥4♦2♦J♠.

Sun Gets Value from Stevens

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Picking the action up on a flop of 6♠2♠4♣, Bert Stevens had put out a bet of 9,000, with around 35,000 already in the middle. Yunsheng Sun made the call.

On the K♣ turn Stevens continued to fire, putting out a bet of 14,000. Again Sun called.

The river was the 2♦ and Stevens reached for chips for the triple barrel, putting out a bet of 21,000.

Sun pondered the spot and produced a small raise to 42,000. Stevens chuckled and asked "Aces?" and after some thought, made the fold.

Sun flashed the K♥ as he raked in the pot and Stevens remarked he had been "too greedy".

Metaal Spikes River to Land Set over Set

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and Govert Metaal was all-in for 54,500 versus Lars Kamphues, with Metaal slightly covered.

Govert Metaal: K♠K♥
Lars Kamphues: J♥J♦

Metaal looked in good shape for the double, but the J♣10♦8♣ flop propelled Kamphues in front with a set of jacks.

The 2♦ river was a brick but the K♦ rolled off on the river to give Metaal the higher set, to gasps from the rest of the table.

Lee Forces a Fold From Ylitalo

Livello 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jaesung Lee opened to 2,100 from the hijack and found one caller in Robin Ylitalo in the big blind.

Ylitalo checked to Lee on the A♣6♦4♠ flop and he bet 1,500. Ylitalo check-raised to 5,500 and Lee called.

The 3♥ fell on the turn and Ylitalo bet 5,500, which Lee called.

Ylitalo sized down for a 3,000 bet on the K♥ river and Lee quickly made it 25,000 to go. Ylitalo let his hand go and Lee collected the pot.

Juan Pardo was all-in on the river with a bet of 22,700 on 7♣4♦9♠4♥7♠ from the big blind versus Gediminas Uselis in the cutoff.

Uselis made the call. Pardo turned over 7♦2♦ for the full house to take the pot while Uselis had A♣9♣ for a useless pair of nines.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika opened to 2,500 from middle position and was called by Yang Zhang in the cutoff.

Both players checked on the J♦A♥6♥ flop and then Zhang called a 3,000 bet from Yotsushika on the 7♠ turn.

The 4♥ completed the board and Yotsushika checked. Zhang bet 9,000 and Yotsushika called after a bit of thought. Zhang turned over 7♣7♦ for a set of sevens and Yotsushika let out a chuckle before sending his hand into the muck.
