So Close, But Yet So Far

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

It looked like big stacks Dirk Gerritse and Dominykas Karmazinas, who happened to be seated right next to eachother, were headed towards some kind of confrontation, when Gerritse made it 3,500 and Karmazinas called behind.

Then Tobias Reinkemeier got in the way, bumping it to 11,500. Fabio Cortes Gago wouldn't let it go either, and he jammed the big blind for 43,500 total.

Gerritse and Karmazinas both folded and when it came back to Reinkemeier, he went deep into the tank, muttering about the great price he was being offered.

Eventually he folded as well, and the big confrontation between anyone, big stack or not, will have to come later.

Kihara Flushed Away

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Naoya Kihara just walked out of the tournament area but stopped by for a quick chat about his final hand. The Japanese raised with {J-}{8-} and found one caller on the big blind. On the {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Kihara was check-raised from 5,000 to 12,700 and called to see the {J-Spades} on the turn.

Kihara was out all in and called with the two top pair only to see his opponent flip over {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}, a blank river ended his tournament.

Two Birds With One Stone

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Steven van Zadelhoff
Steven van Zadelhoff

The player under the gun raised to 3,500 and Steven van Zadelhoff right next to him made the call. A player in late position shoved all in for 64,500 and another player shoved all in over the top for 82,000. The initial raiser folded and Van Zadelhoff called.

Steven van Zadelhoff: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
First to shove: {A-}{K-}
Over shove: {Q-}{Q-}

The flop came {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}, good for Van Zadelhoff as he was the only one with a spade. The {7-Hearts} on the turn and {4-Diamonds} on the river were blanks and Van Zadelhoff sent two guys packing.

Jiretorn Ecstatic After Doubling Through Selbst

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst's been on a tear today, and with around 300,000 chips she's among the chip leaders.

Just now Selbst raised to 3,400 and two seats over it was Eva Jiretorn who moved all in for her last 18,000 chips.

Selbst looked at the chips in the middle, at Jiretorn's stack and then decided to make the call.

Selbst: {A-Spades}{2-Spades}
Jiretorn: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}

Jiretorn got up out of her seat as the board ran out {J-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and she let out a big sigh of relief.

"Thank you!" Jiretorn said to nobody in particular, as she was ecstatic with still being in the tournament.
