Turker Busts One

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player moved all in from under the gun for 2,125 and action folded around to Koray Turker in the big blind. He made the call and tabled the {A-Spades}{9-Spades}. The all-in player held the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}.

The flop was a pretty exciting one, coming down {J-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}. The all-in player held top pair and a gutshot while Turker flopped a big combo draw.

The turn brought the {5-Clubs} and kept the all-in player in front, but the {3-Spades} on the river gave Turker a spade flush and won him the pot. He eliminated the short-stacked, all-in player and moved up to 65,000 in chips.

Kemp Soaring to 100k

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jai Kemp has just soared up the leaderboard to sit a few chips below 100,000.

Holding {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} against an opponent's {A-}{Q-}, the final board of {10-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} would ensure the pot pushed to Kemp as he collected the pot to move to 95,000 in chips.

Top Pair Slowroll for Wing

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Tom Wing
Tom Wing

On a flop of {3-Spades}{J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, Tom Wing fired out a bet into two opponents, but only one made the call as the {K-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

This time Wing's opponent took the lead by firing out a bet of 3,500 with Wing smooth-calling as the {9-Clubs} landed on the river.

After a few minutes deliberating, Wing's opponent eventually tapped the table indicating a check, as Wing followed suit.

"I can beat absolutely nothing!" announced Wing before his opponent tabled his {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

Wing then happily tabled his {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} as he began raking in the pot to send him over the 65,000-chip mark.

"Oooooooo! What a slowroll!" screamed tablemate David Saab.

Following a few laughs from some of the players, the losing opponent asked, "so you're not calling 11,000 on the river?"

"I snap call!" exclaimed Wing.

Lunardi Legged

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Kristian Lunardi
Kristian Lunardi

Jonathan Karamalikis opened to 600 preflop and Kristian Lunardi three-bet to 1,500. With the action back on Karamalikis, he bumped it to 4,500.

Lunardi deliberated for a few moments before moving all in for roughly 21,000 more and Karamalikis instantly called.

Karamalikis: {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Lunardi: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

Unfortunately for Lunardi, the {7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{A-Spades} flop would see Karamalikis spike his three-outer to take the lead, and when the {9-Clubs} and {5-Spades} landed on the turn and river, Lunardi was forced to hit the rail.

Five-Bet with Eight High

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Bradley "BaZa88" Bower raised from the cutoff seat to 775. The big blind reraised to 2,100. Bower came back over the top with a four-bet to 4,500. His opponent five-bet to 10,000 and Bower folded. The big blind showed the powerful {8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} that he five-bet with.

Seven-Deuce No Good for Koray

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Obviously seeing the success that Joel Dodds had with the same hand just a few minutes earlier, Koray Turker had his opponent all in on a {10-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board with {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}.

Unfortunately for Turker, his opponent held {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for an overpair, and when the river blanked out with the {3-Hearts}, Turker slipped to 35,000 in chips.

Flush for Dodds

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, Joel Dodds fired out a sizable bet of 12,550.

His lone opponent in the hand made the call, but was forced to muck at the sight of Dodds' {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a flush as he climbs to 35,000 in chips.
