Karr Folds The River

McLean Karr
McLean Karr

There was a raise to 325 from under the gun before Kyriakos Mitsopoylos three-bet from the button making it 952 to play. The small blind moved out of the way and McLean Karr peeked at his cards in the big blind. The American liked what he saw because he four-bet to 2,075. There were a few smirks around the table (suggesting the Karr raise was not a new phenomenon) before the initial raiser folded. Mitsopoylos made the call and the two of them saw a flop of {A-Spades} {9-Clubs} {3-Spades}. Karr check-called a 2,750 Mitsopoylos bet and we saw the {10-Clubs} on the turn. Once again the action went check-call and the bet size was 5,025. The last card on the river was the {2-Clubs} and when Karr checked his opponent moved all-in.

"How much is it? I am pretty sure I have to call," Said Karr.

The amount was 12.225 and Karr went deep into thought before eventually folding his hand.

"You have ace-king? You have one pair?" Asked Mitsopoylos.

"I mucked my hand didn't I?" Replied Karr.

More Man

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Chris Moorman was facing an 850 bet on a {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} after little post flop action but surprisingly raised to 2,850 - he got a quick call from his opponent but the latter mucked when Moorman turned over {Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the rivered full house.

Vamp Stamp

David Vamplew is up to the heady heights of 55,000 after he five-bet then called with {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} against the inevitable {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} of Artem Metalidi. A {J-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Spades} board later and it was all over - that's another of our former champions having a good start.

Early Chris Mothes Present

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

A huge pot was developing on table 19 between Pierre Chris Mothes and Iulian Georgian Ruxandescu with the board reading {5-Spades}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades} and over 20,000 already in the middle. The {6-Spades} came on the river and Mothes moved all in, Ruxandescu wasted little time and folded - Mothes breathed a sigh of relief and showed {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} having turned his hand into a bluff.

"Did you have a set?" he asked his Romanian foe but Ruxandescu shook his head with a smile.

Elpayaa/Elder Continue To Spar

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Joe Elpayaa won the last hand we reported between these two, but this time it's a victory for the British pro Rupert Elder, he check-called a 525 bet on the {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} flop before the {A-Clubs} turn and {K-Diamonds} river were checked down. Elder flipped {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} for rivered two pair and Elpayaa shrugged, rechecked his cards and folded.

Do Not Disturb: Kent Lundmark

Kent Lundmark's early double up has given him enough space to get stuck in to his latest novel. The action folded around to Miroslav Rizov in the small blind and he made up the loose change before the dealer had to motion to Lundmark that it was his turn to play in the big blind. Lundmark peered up from his book, checked and went back to his book. The flop was {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Diamonds}, Rizov bet 200 and Lundmark called. The turn was the {2-Hearts} Rizov checked and this time Lundmark bet 425 and Rizov called. On the river both players checked and Rizov won the pot with {A-Hearts} {4-Spades}. Lundmark mucked his hand and returned to his book.
