Peluso Gambles to the Exit

Livello 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Big stack Gregory Fournier piled a stack of T-5,000 chips in and joked to Fabio Peluso whether or not he would gamble for what was left over. Peluso had around 19,700 and eventually called all-in.

Fabio Peluso: K♦9♦
Gregory Fournier: 10♠10♥

The A♦3♣2♣ flop and 6♦ turn kept the hopes of Peluso alive but the Q♣ river sent the Italian to the rail in the final hands, while Fournier cemented his top spot.

Carvalho Wins Three-Way All-In

Livello 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 2♠7♥8♣A♥. Nariman Yaghmai moved all in for 14,000, then Kim De Sousa Carvalho pushed all in for 33,000. Bekim Murtezi then moved all in over the top of them both with the biggest stack to make for a three-way all-in. Players flipped their cards.

Nariman Yaghmai: 10♥9♥
Kim De Sousa Carvalho: 8♦8♠
Bekim Murtezi: A♦7♦

Yaghmai was drawing to a straight and flush, Murtezi had two pair with aces and sevens, and Carvalho was out ahead with a set of eights.

Both of his opponents still had outs, but the river came a blank, the 4♦. Carvalho held to win the pot and near-triple his stack. Murtezi lost a chunk of chips, while Yaghmai was eliminated from the tournament.

Tomi Brouk: J♠J♥
Benny Glaser: Q♣Q♥

Glaser had Brouk pipped with his queens, and the 4♠6♣3♥5♣5♥ runout came sweat-free for Glaser, who collected the rest of Brouk's chips.

Seire Tank-Calls Correctly

Livello 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 35,000 in the middle to the Q♥9♦3♥8♦7♣ river, Casimir Seire had checked from under the gun. Yuhang Chen pushed all-in for what appeared to be 23,900 and Seire went deep into the tank without asking for an exact count.

Several minutes passed without any player calling the clock and Seire even apologised for taking so long, he then put the chips into the middle soon after.

Chen showed A♥J♦ for a bluff and Seire earned the knockout with the J♠7♥ for rivered fourth pair.

"That was a sick call," Rory Jennings said while Seire raked in the pot.
