Michael Gordon Smith Bad Beats Hugue Girard's Aces

Level 14: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Bad way to go for Hugue Girard with A♣ A♥ on hand. Following a button raise of 10,000 by Michael Smith, big blind Girard three-bets 29,000, Smith four-bet shoves and Girard snap-calls. Smith shows J♥ J♣ . The board runs a nasty Q♣ 6♥ J♠ J♦ 4♠ to bad beat aces with quads jacks.

Hugues Girard On the Comeback

Level 14: 2,500 / 5,000 ante: 5,000

Shai Arbel raises to 15,000 from the small blind and Hugues Girard calls from the big blind. Both invest 10,000 on the 6♥ 5♠ 3♣ flop and Arbel check-calls for 25,000 on the Q♦ turn.

Arbel checks the T♠ river and reluctantly folds when Girard bets 35,000.

Shai Arbel Among Big Stacks; Kyle Bao Diep Also Rises

Level 12: 1,500 / 3,000 ante: 3,000

Kyle Bao Diep

Almost all of the chips of Hugues Girard shifted to Shai Arbel.

Guy Taylor then vanishes from the table when he cannot call a river shove by Kyle Bao Diep on the T♥ 9♣ 3♠ J♣ 8♦ river, suspecting a bluff. "Oh no worries, if it's a bluff he will put it on his stories," the Brit jokes and busts the next hand.

Hugues Girard Wins Two In A Row

Level 6: 400 / 800 ante: 800

Following a raise by under the gun player Daniel Skoglund that's called by one player, cutoff Hugues Girard three-bets 7000 and just like, he wins the pot. Girard isn't done yet as he enters the next hand, raising 2000. Big blind Skoglund defends then fast-folds as Girard pulls chips on the flop 2♠ 8♠ J♥ .
