Delfoco Extends Lead; Mattern Doubles Through Papazian

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Arnaud Mattern
Arnaud Mattern

Having defended the big blind against Francesco Delfoco, it was Alexandru Papazian who bet the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} turn for 105,000. Delfoco called and faced the very same bet sizing on the {5-Clubs} river. Delfoco then raised to 500,000 and Papazian folded.

"I hope it was a bluff," Papazian said and Delfoco inquired whether or not the Romanian had bluffed. "No, I didn't bluff," Papazian replied but neither player revealed their cards.

One hand later, Papazian jammed from the small blind into the big blind of Arnaud Mattern and the latter called for the 560,000 he had behind.

Arnaud Mattern: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Alexandru Papazian: {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Both had a piece of the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop and Mattern stayed ahead on the {5-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river for the double to trade roles with his table neighbor.

"You're not supposed to bluff Canadians," said Ferrer.

"Who said I was bluffing?" replied Kyte.

Delfoco Wins Three-Bet Pot Against Zouari

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

From under the gun, Jeremie Zouari raised to 120,000 and the action folded to Francesco Delfoco in the small blind. The Italian three-bet to 500,000 and Wagner Ripper tank-folded with 11 big blinds behind.

Zouari mulled it over for another minute and a half and then called, which led them to a {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop. Delfoco gave it about a minute before announcing a bet of 1,000,000 that covered his opponent. Zouari sigh-folded the {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} face-up with the words "no heart."

Bohn Increases Stack With Aggression

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Michael Ferrer opened to 135,000 and table chip leader Hugo Bohn three-bet to 430,000 in the cutoff. The shorter stacks behind let go and so did Ferrer.

Bohn then jammed from the button into Ladislao Dalfo Batlle and Simeon Spasov. The Spaniard quickly folded while Spasov went deep into the tank. It was so long that the clock was called on the Bulgarian and 30 seconds ran down without any decision for Spasov's hand to be declared dead.
