Two Big Hands from Before the Break

Chad Holloway

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

In the closing minutes of Level 10, there were to big hands that took place. Have a look.

Hand #1: A short-stacked Timothy Adams moved all in for 96,000 under the gun and Mike Watson, who was seated to his direct left, made the call. The rest of the players folded and the cards were turned up.

Adams:
Watson:

It was a bad spot for Adams, but the flop gave him a lot of hope as he paired his ten and picked up a flush draw. Some in poker would say it was "too many outs" to hit, and indeed that proved the case as the blanked on the turn followed by the on the river. Adams, who took fourth in this very event last year for €485,100, was eliminated from the tournament.

Hand #2: Fabian Quoss opened from the button only to have Alec Torelli three-bet to 54,000 from the small blind. The big folded, Quoss moved all in for 312,000, and Torelli wasted little time in making the call.

Quoss:
Torelli:

It was a flip, and the proverbial coin came down in favor of Quoss after the board ran out a dry .

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We saw Jeff Rossiter exit the tournament area. We asked him what had happened and he was polite enough to fill us in.

According to Rossiter, Daniel Cates had minraised the hijack. Rossiter, who was on the button with about 185,000, raised it up to 40,000. Cates shoved, Rossiter called and the innevitable show down was there.

Level 10 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Colman opened for 18,000 from early position and Full Tilt Poker Professional Gus Hansen made the call from the small blind.

Just the two players had a stake in the flop and Hansen chose to lead out at it for 27,000. Colman had been the preflop aggressor and raise him to 62,000.

Hansen now counted down his stack, jiggling in his seat and rubbing his head before four-betting to 173,000.

“Hundred seventy three total?” Colmann asked and it was confirmed. He then announced all in and had Hansen easily covered. Hansen didn’t make an instant decision but the one he came to would be one that he may regret as he called and tabled . Colman had flopped two pair with

The turn card and river saw Hansen last just under two hours of the Super High Roller.
