Kisacikoglu Approaching a Million

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Three ways to the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop, Orpen Kisacikoglu in the hijack was the only one to check-call a bet worth 28,000 by Byron Kaverman in the cutoff.

Both checked down the {j-Diamonds} turn and {10-Hearts} river as Kisacikoglu won the pot with the {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

Some of the profit vanished shortly after when Kisacikoglu check-folded the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} turn to a bet worth 90,000 by Sam Greenwood.

Hecklen the Next Player to Fall

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Henrik Hecklen
Henrik Hecklen

The next all-in showdown didn't take long and it was table short stack Henrik Hecklen who open-jammed for around 150,000 out of the small blind.

Orpen Kisacikoglu glanced at his cards in the big blind and instantly called, setting up the following showdown.

Henrik Hecklen: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Orpen Kisacikoglu: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}

The {a-Spades}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop gave Hecklen a double gutshot and he tossed the queen closer towards the board. No help arrived with the {3-Diamonds} turn and {j-Diamonds} river, reducing the field to the last 11 contenders.

Sam Greenwood: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Ponakovs was in need of help but when the board ran out {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, the ace-queen for Greenwood held up to send Ponakovs to the exit.

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

The action folded around to Christoph Vogelsang on the button who opened for 24,000 and Stephen Chidwick moved all in for 140,000 from the small blind. The big blind quickly folded and Vogelsang snap-called to put Chidwick at risk.

Stephen Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Christoph Vogelsang: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and the two pair for Vogelsang sent Chidwick to the rail.

Updated Counts on Table Two

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 26,000 and Justin Bonomo called on the button, as did Orpen Kisacikoglu in the big blind. Neither player invested any chips on the {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades} flop and it was then Kisacikoglu who bet the {10-Diamonds} turn for 35,000.

Thorel double-checked his cards and folded, as did Bonomo.

Hook, Line, and Sinker for Greenwood

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chalie Hook
Chalie Hook

Once the blinds went up, Chalie Hook was down to just over 12 blinds and open-jammed for 152,000. It folded all the way to Sam Greenwood in the big blind who asked for a count and then called.

Chalie Hook: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Sam Greenwood: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The {10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop instantly left Hook drawing dead as the {j-Diamonds} turn and {q-Spades} river didn't matter. Greenwood bumped fists with Jean-Noel Thorel, who had previously hit quad eights against him.

Vogelsang Leaves Chidwick Short

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Christoph Vogelsang raised to 22,000 at the end of the previous level and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 60,000 from the next seat, which the initial raiser called. On a {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Vogelsang opted to check-call a bet of 30,000 and did so again for 110,000 on the {k-Diamonds} turn.

Both then checked down the {j-Spades} river and Vogelsang's {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} were the best hand. The hand lasted four minutes into the new level, during which all players received an additional time bank.

Yan Puts Vogelsang To The Test

Level 12 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
David Yan
David Yan

In a pot of 49,000 on a flop showing {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, David Yan checked from the big blind to Christoph Vogelsang in early position who continued for 18,000. Yan put in a check-raise to 63,000 and Vogelsang made the call.

On the {5-Clubs} turn Yan checked over to Vogelsang, who after a moment, bet out 75,000. Yan used a time bank card before announcing all in, covering the roughly 500,000 remaining for Vogelsang, who went deep in the tank.

After just over a minute, Vogelsang made the fold and the chip leader Yan increased his large stack.

Aleksejs Ponakovs made it 20,000 on the button for Byron Kaverman in the small blind to three-bet to 60,000. Ponakovs mulled it over for a while and then came along to the {k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop. Kaverman continued for 30,000 right away and that shut down Ponakovs.
