Fitoussi Jams in Four-Bet Pot

Frank Visser

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

Mario Colavita made it 2,000 to go under the gun. From middle position, Laurent Leclerc came along with a call before Bruno Fitoussi squeezed in a three-bet to 7,000 in the hijack.

It folded back to Colavita, who bumped it up again, making it 17,000. Leclerc quickly moved out of the way, but Fitoussi stuck around and called.

Colavita quickly checked when the flop came Q♦J♣9♥. Fitoussi fired a bet of 10,000, which Colavita decided to call.

Fitoussi then moved all in for 20,100 on the 7♠ turn. Colavita instantly check-folded, sending the pot over to Fitoussi.

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

Romain Lewis in the small blind and Niksa Marinac under the gun had reached the 5xJ♣3♣J♥J♦ river. Lewis placed a bet of 3,500 into the pot of 14,000, which Marinac raised to 15,500.

Lewis spent some time thinking things through before he put in calling chips. Marinac showed Q♦J♠ for quad jacks, and Lewis' cards were returned face down.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Garry Zeitoun in the small blind, Ruslan Rishko under the gun, and Mihai Tabac in early position got all their chips in on a K♣A♠K♥ flop. Rishko was at risk for 15,900, while Zeitoun also covered Tabac's stack of 53,800.

Ruslan Rishko: K♠J♦ All in
Mihai Tabac: A♥A♦ All in
Garry Zeitoun: K♦Q♦

Tabac's full house had both opponents drawing dead. Rishko left the table in disbelief after the meaningless J♣6♠ runout while Tabac couldn't help but laugh as he raked in the chips.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After prior action, Benjamin Davo had reraised to 12,500 from the big blind. Hijack Ugo Faggioli responded by moving all in for 41,900, which sent Davo in the tank.

After getting a count and spending a few minutes in thought, Davo called to put Faggioli at risk.

Ugo Faggioli: A♣K♥ All in
Benjamin Davo: 10♥10♦

Faggioli flopped extra outs on 3♥2♠4♠, but the 3♦ turn and 9♠ river were of no use to him. Davo's tens held, eliminating Faggioli in the process.
