Tebege Wins Big In Three-Way All-In

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Adam Woolf moved all-in for 37,500 from an early position and Samuel Tebege called on the button. Nic Ioannoy then came along in the small blind before David Ng in the big blind announced all-in over the top. Tebege asked for a count on the shove, which happened to be for 195,500.

The German was covered by a small margin and called all-in while Ioannoy gave it some thought to then fold the Q♥10♣ face-up.

Adam Woolf: 8♦8♥ All in
Samuel Tebege: J♥J♣ All in
David Ng: A♦K♣

"Just a little flip," Tebege joked and then demanded "keep the board low" after the 9♦6♠2♠ flop. The 10♠ turn and 2♦ river changed nothing and Tebege doubled for 176,500 to leave Ng short, knocking out Woolf. Also short is "SM" who has an equally short stack as Ng.

Karrim Knocked Out by Ioannoy

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

It has been a wild ride for Ahmed Karrim, who was among the chip leaders several times only to get knocked back by the high-variance late entries. Ultimately, his preflop raise was called by one of his former nemesis's in Nic Ioannoy out of the big blind. The flop came A♦5♦3♣ and Ioannoy checked, Karrim bet 8,000.

The quick shove by Ioannoy followed and Karrim eventually called it off for around 90,000.

Ahmed Karrim: A♣Q♥ All in
Nic Ioannoy: 4♠2♠

The K♣ turn left Karrim drawing dead to make the J♠ river a formality.
