"The Rich Get Richer" As Alves Shows an Ace

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ricardo Alves raised to 12,000 in middle position and was called by Eduard Barsegian in the hijack, Francois-Charles Scapula on the button, and Jack Hardcastle in the big blind.

Action checked to Barsegian on the A♣4♠4♣ flop, and he bet 22,000. Only Alves called.

The turn was the 5♠ and Barsegian bet another 50,000. Alves again called and checked over to Barsegian on the 8♦ river, and this time Barsegian checked back.

Alves turned over A♠J♥ for two pair, and Barsegian mucked.

"The rich get richer. Just like in the real world," tablemate Siegfried Friedl said.

"Play zero. Luck 100," Ruben Lopes added as he came over to tease his countryman from another table.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kevin Naegelen raised to 12,000 under the gun before Francis Plegat announced a raise and also put in 12,000. Naegelen asked for the floor to come over and explained that this was the second time Plegat had done this at this table.

Plegat insisted he hadn't seen Naegelen's open and had simply made a mistake. The floor gave him a warning that he would receive a one-round penalty if he did it again, and he was forced to make it 18,000. Cedric Schwaederle called in the big blind, as did Naegelen.

All three players checked the 8♣4♠4♣ flop. Schwaederle then led out for 36,000 on the 2♦ turn and Naegelen folded. "This is my contribution," Plegat said as he quickly tossed J♥J♠ into the muck.

"You don't look like a man who would do that on purpose," tablemate Kayhan Mokri told him.

Timur Margolin in early position and Richard Trigg in middle position had gotten all their chips in the middle preflop. Trigg had 152,000 in front of him, which Margolin narrowly covered.

Richard Trigg: J♠J♦ All in
Timur Margolin: A♠K♣

Margolin flopped two pair on A♦K♥10♣ to take the lead. Trigg had some outs to work with, but the 9♣ turn and 9♠ river brought no furter paint on the board, securing his elimination.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Rolando Carrera got his 70,000 remaining chips in on the button against Kevin Naegelen in the cutoff and was at risk.

Rolando Carrera: A♠K♠ All in
Kevin Naegelen: A♣Q♥

Carrera was in great shape to double, but the deck had other plans and presented Naegelen with a pair on the 8♠Q♣9♣ flop.

The 3♣ turn removed one of Carrera's remaining outs, and his elimination was confirmed once the 4♦ river hit the felt.

Jakub Sterba opened the action with a raise to 12,000 under the gun. Adrian Stadelmann slid in a three-bet to 36,000 from the hijack, after which Sami Bechahed moved all in for 127,000 from the small blind.

Sterba quickly let go of his cards, but Stadelmann called once he had received an exact count.

Sami Bechahed: K♠K♥ All in
Adrian Stadelmann: Q♠Q♣

The A♣6♠2♣3♥2♦ board was no help to either player, doubling up Bechahed with his kings.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Rui Ferreira three-bet to 45,000 in the small blind and Enrico Coppola called in the cutoff.

Both players checked to the river on a board of 7♣2♥9♥7♦8♥. Ferreira then checked again, but this time Coppola bet 105,000. Ferreira called, only to be showed A♥J♥ for a flush as Coppola took the pot.

At another table, Hugo De La Fouchardiere had shoved for 66,000 from the hijack and Georgios Vrakas called in the cutoff.

Hugo De La Fouchardiere: A♥7♥ All in
Georgios Vrakas: A♠K♠

De La Fouchardiere was dominated and at risk, but the J♦7♠6♥ flop gave him the lead with a pair. The turn was the 3♣, while the 3♠ river sealed his double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Igor Pihela open-shoved his stack of 156,000 as first to act. It folded to Joshua Boulton, who called in the cutoff.

Igor Pihela: K♠Q♥ All in
Joshua Boulton: K♥K♣

Pihela was in dire shape against the kings of Boulton. The 3♠2♠2♥2♣ turn gave a slight chance at a chop, but the Q♣ river was not enough for Pihela to survive his all-in.

At an adjacent table, Artem Kobylynskyi had moved in 95,000 from the big blind and was called by Mohamed Aissani in the hijack.

Artem Kobylynskyi: 2♥2♦ All in
Mohamed Aissani: A♥10♦

Aissani made a pair of aces on the J♠A♠6♥ flop, and Kobylynskyi's exit was sealed when he could not find a deuce on the Q♥ turn or 9♣ river.

Jakub Sterba bet 25,000 from the hijack on a flop of 10♠8♥9♦ and Hanan Tabrichi called in the big blind, as did Sami Bechahed in middle position.

The turn was the 8♠ and Sterba bet another 45,000. Tabrichi then raised to 150,000.

Bechahed quickly folded, while Sterba used up a few time banks before also sending his cards into the muck.
