Karr-Jacked

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Kyriakos Mitsopoylos just caught Mclean Karr bluffing on the river of {6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} - the American betting 5,650 on the river but declaring king-high when Mitsopoylos made the call with a winning {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}

Bet Like an Egyptian

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Joe 'BigEgypt' Alpayaa picked up a sizeable pot after he fired all three streets of a {J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} board getting check-called on the flop and turn before eliciting a fold from his opponent on the river. Alpayaa showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for complete air.

Karreer Building

It's a karrnival atmosphere here.
It's a karrnival atmosphere here.

Mclean Karr is up to 105,000 and looking like the chip leader at the moment. From the button he had bet 1,250 on a flop of {9-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} with Tolly Sakellariou making the call in the big blind. The {K-Spades} came on the turn and Sakellariou was check-calling again to the tune of 3,175 this time.

The river was the {9-Clubs} which didn't appear to change too much, Sakellariou checked a final time and Karr bet a chunky-looking 15,275 - Sakellariou tanked, he only had about 26,000 left at this point and the bet represented a sizeable amount of his stack, but call he did and Karr turned over {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for the nut full house, pushing his stack over the 100,000 mark.

Moorman Caught Bluffing

Yavor Tutev was tanking on the river for nearly ten minutes, Chris Moorman had fired a bet of 9,900 with the board reading {6-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} and it was only when Alexios Zervos called for a clock that Tutev finally decided to call.

Moorman flipped {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for nothing much at all and Tutev sighed with relief that his {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} was good.

Check out an interview with Moorman from earlier today.

Out of Harmen's Way

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Well this is an interesting hand. Ignat Liviu opened to 700 from middle position before Sjors Harmens made it 1,900 in position.

The flop was {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} and Liviu check-raised Harmen's 2,500 bet to 5,500 but Harmens then made it 10,100. Liviu tanked for several minutes before eventually just calling to see the {5-Clubs} turn, Liviu checked again and this time Harmens thought and decided to check behind as the hand time was going over the ten minute mark.

The {9-Hearts} came on the river and Liviu now led out for 8,400 - it was Harmens turn to deliberate and eventually he slid out the call - Liviu was forced to show {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Harmens took down the pot with an only slightly better {A-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

Tolly Takes Teng

There were two limpers, up front, before Andrew Teng raised it up to 1,500 from the button. Tolly Sakellariou made the call and the other limper folded. The flop was {K-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {3-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {9-Hearts} and once again both players checked. The final card was the {8-Hearts} and Sakellariou moved his not so scary stack of 13,000 into the middle. It may not have been that impressive but it was of sufficient enough size to scare Teng who folded his hand.
