Grafton Separates Himself from the Field

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

The €3,000 Mystery Bounty Event has grown so big that the tournament is now split across two different rooms. The secondary room contains six tables or so for now, and Sam Grafton was spotted at one of them.

He played a hand against Sergi Enric Miralles Martinez and bet 1,100 from the button on a flop of 10?5?10?. Big blind Martinez made the call before the duo checked the 8? turn.

The 5? river brought the second pair on the board and Martinez checked for the third time. Grafton now put out a pot-sized bet of 5,500 and Martinez quickly called. Grafton tabled 8?7? for the turned two pair and he could rake in the pot as Martinez mucked his hand.

Grafton now plays over twice the starting stack and is off to a great beginning of his Mystery Bounty adventure.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Alan Goasdoue
Alan Goasdoue

Fellow countrymen Alan Goasdoue and Antoine Labat were in a pot worth 7,000. The board was completed up until the turn and read 5?2?6?K?. Goasdoue put out a bet of 3,000 and Labat check-called.

K? was the river and Labat checked again. This time, Goasdoue put out a bulk of his chips, plenty to put Labat all-in. Labat did not have to think long before he mucked his cards, leaving himself just over 12,000 behind.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Maria Konnikova
Maria Konnikova

Action was heads up with over 30,000 in the pot and 10?J?K?6? on the the board when Sosia Jiang checked to Maria Konnikova. Konnikova shoved with around 15,000 and Jiang shuffled red chips with her left hand while she considered her options. After a few moments of thought, Jiang gave it up and the pot went to Konnikova.

Meanwhile, Omur Pehlivan was all in on another table for just over 4,000. Giovanni Salvatore was the one to look him up and the cards were already on their backs.

Omur Pehlivan: K?Q?
Giovanni Salvatore: A?2?

The board ran out 5?3?K?6?Q? and Pehlivan held on after a flopped pair of kings to secure the small double with two pair.

''Favorite Hands'' Clash in Huge Preflop Confrontation

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Adrian State
Adrian State

David Lascar had put 6,000 chips in the middle from the cutoff, for what is assumed to be a four-bet, and Adrian State was all in from the button for 30,100.

Lascar asked for confirmation whether the tournament had reentries and, after he received the affirmitve answer, made the call.

Adrian State: 9?9?
David Lascar: 4?4?

''My favorite hand'', State explained. ''Me too'', Lascar responded.

The board ran out without any significant cards: 10?2?A?Q?Q?. It turned out that Lascar covered State by 4,000 chips and State secured the very early double-up.

Immediate Five-Bet Action

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Razvan Belea
Razvan Belea

Action was thee-handed over at table nine, when Razvan Belea opened to 600 from the button. Ian Hamilton called from the small blind before Georgios Karakousis put in the three-bet to 2,100. Belea opted for a four-bet to 5,500 and Hamilton quickly fled the raising war.

Karakousis then five-bet jammed, covering Belea's 19,400 stack. Belea snap called and it was revealed why.

Razvan Belea: K?K?
Georgios Karakousis: 3?3?

Karakousis was making moves with his low pocket pair, but Belea was comfortably sitting on his cowboys.

The board remained sweat-free with 8?6?2?9?6? hitting the felt and Belea secured an early double-up after losing some chips prior to this hand. Karakousis was left with 7,000 chips, which still is enough for 35 big blinds during the first level of the tournament.

While the hand was happening, French powerhouses Alan Goasdoue and Antoine Labat also showed up to take their seats at this table.
