Shevliakov And Nouira Double Through Lau

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

From the button, Aleksandr Shevliakov shoved for 940,000 chips. He was called by Ka Kwan Lau in the small blind, while Maher Nouira in the big blind folded and showed 2x2x.

Aleksandr Shevliakov: 6?6?
Ka Kwan Lau: A?4?

Shevliakov secured a double-up thanks to the board 7?9?5?3?K?, even if Lau had a straight draw on the turn.

On the next hand, after an open, Shevliakov wanted to raise in the cutoff, but he threw only two black chips worth 100,000 each in front of him, so it was considered as a call.

Seeing that, Lau on the button raised all-in. Nouira in the small blind snap-called with his last 1,150,000 chips, and Shevliakov folded.

Maher Nouira: Q?Q?
Ka Kwan Lau: 10?9?

Lau hit a pair of tens on the flop 4?A?10?, but Nouira remained in the lead after the turn 7? and the river A? to double up.

Shevliakov Bleeding

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

The action folded around to Alexandre Reard in the small blind who raised to 250,000. Aleksandr Shevliakov was the big blind and tanked for a little over 30 seconds before making the call.

When the K?J?6? flop hit the felt, Reard continued for 100,000 and Shevliakov mucked.

On the button, Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 215,000. Then in the small blind, Toby Joyce three-bet all in for 755,000 chips. In the big blind, Eric Sfez went in the tank and eventually called. Tamasauskas called too.

Sfez and Tamasauskas checked all the way through leading to a board of 9?K?9?4?7?, even if Sfez hesitated to bet on the turn.

Toby Joyce: A?6?
Eric Sfez: A?J?
Vladas Tamasauskas: 10?8?

Joyce flipped his cards first and was in the lead when Tamasauskas revealed his cards. But Sfez showed the winning hand and sent Joyce to the rail. "Rico! Rico!" sang the rail and some players to celebrate Sfez's win.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Eric Sfez
Eric Sfez

Eric Sfez opened 240,000 in middle position and Alexandre Reard called next to act.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q?8?3?, and Sfez continued for 100,000 before Reard raised to 250,000. Sfez called.

The 3? hit the turn and Sfez check-called a bet of 475,000 from Reard.

When the 10? landed on the river, Sfez checked, and Reard checked back.

"Jacks?" Asked Reard.

Indeed it was, as Sfez tabled J?J?, which was good against Reard's 9?9?.
