Vrancsik Lying in Wait

David Salituro

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

Mateusz Sikora moved all in for 180,000 under the gun and Zoltan Vrancsik called in the cutoff. Scott Reynolds then reshoved for 500,000 on the button, and Vrancsik couldn't wait to commit the extra chips.

Mateusz Sikora: A♠J♠ All in
Scott Reynolds: A♣Q♥ All in
Zoltan Vrancsik: A♦A♥

The reasons for Vrancsik's optimism soon became apparent when he turned over two aces, having both opponents well covered. The K♣6♠4♥5♥4♦ board offered no miracles to either Sikora or Reynolds, and Vrancsik scored the double knockout.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alessio La Francesca raised to 60,000 under the gun and Michel Karim three-bet to 150,000 in the hijack. La Francesca then four-bet to 330,000, and Karim called.

The flop came J♥6♣6♥ and La Francesca bet 75,000. Karim called and the 5♥ fell on the turn, where La Francesca bet another 210,000. Karim gave up his hand this time, and La Francesca took the pot.

At the same time at another table, Karsten Knoebel had bet 250,000 from the hijack on a board of J♣J♠A♠2♦3♥ before Ratmir Kesidis moved all in for 665,000 from the cutoff. Knoebel called with K♥J♥ for trips, but Kesidis showed A♦A♥ for a flopped full house to win the massive pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Marco Bognanni opened from under the gun and Georgios Tsouloftas called from the big blind.

The flop came J♠3♥9♥ and after Tsouloftas checked, Bognanni bet 60,000. Tsouloftas then shoved, and Bognanni called off his stack of 310,000.

Marco Bognanni: A♠A♣ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♥2♥

Tsouloftas had a flush draw and needed to find a heart to eliminate Bognanni. There was no love for Tsouloftas, though, as the K♦3♠ runout was heartless, which meant Bognanni doubled up.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of J♦A♠10♠, Wissam Ouertani bet 100,000 from the hijack and Giovanni Giudice called in the cutoff, while Scott Reynolds folded the big blind.

The turn was the 5♣ and Ouertani moved all in for 510,000, sending Giudice deep into the tank. He agonized over the decision for more than a minute until calling, telling Ouertani he had a set even before the cards were revealed.

Ouertani lowered his head in dejection and tossed A♦K♣ onto the felt, while Giudice showed his J♠J♣. Ouertani needed a queen to make a straight, but it didn't arrive on the 7♣ river as Giudice took the massive pot to send Ouertani to the rail.

Ruslan Kasper moved all in for 160,000 in middle position, Roman Sahin reraised to 325,000 in the cutoff, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Ruslan Kasper: A♥9♥ All in
Roman Sahin: A♣Q♣

Both players hit an ace on the A♠8♥4♣ flop, but Sahin's queen-kicker stayed in the lead through the 5♣ turn and K♠ river to send Kasper to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Lukas Pazma moved all in for 460,000 in the hijack before Fotios Ntamaris reshoved for 800,000 in the cutoff. Ratmir Kesidis took his time on the button but eventually folded as action went on Daniel Knuth in the big blind, who shook his cards hoping for a big hand. "That didn't work," he said with a laugh as he didn't like what he saw and tossed them away.

Lukas Pazma: 9♠9♣ All in
Fotios Ntamaris: A♥J♥

Pazma didn't have to sweat the race for long, as the Q♣Q♠9♥ flop gave him a full house. "I'll take it," he said, and the rest of the board ran out 8♣10♣ to earn. him a double up.
