All In, All In and another All in! New Chip Leader

Something seems to have happened in the tournament area, maybe it is the promise of another night of free drinks from the casino, who knows, but the chips are flying everywhere with an all in happening on each of the three tables!

First hand

On a [8hTh9d] flop, Manuel Blaschke bet 9,500, Domantas Klimciauskas made it 23,000 to play from the button. Blaschke responded by re-raising to 41,500 and after around a minute of thinking time, Klimciauskas moved all in for 233,000, enough to fold out his opponent.

Second hand

As the above hand was taking shape there was the announcement of an all in and a call. We discovered there was a brief raising war preflop between Armando Graziano and Ferdi Ciorabai, with the latter holding [KsKc] to the Italian’s [QdQh]. The final board ran out [AcAs10d5h6d] and Ciorabai doubled up.

Third hand

This is the hand that has cost Gianluca Speranza the chip lead. On a board reading [2d5d6cQs10c] Hugh Cohen checked and Speranza moved all in, covering Cohen. After much deliberation, Cohen made the call and showed [9c9d], which was enough to see Speranza much. Cohen is our new chip leader
