Kenney Steals Another Pot

Level 10 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised to 12,000 on the button with {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Bryn Kenney called from the big blind with {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. The flop came {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Kenney check-called a rather large bet of 25,000 from Chidwick.

The {10-Clubs} on the turn gave Kenney a flush draw and Chidwick a pair of tens. Both players checked and the {5-Diamonds} paired the board on the river. Kenney fired out a bet of 145,000 which was greater than the size of the pot. Chidwick laid down the best hand and Kenney stole another pot.

Then, it was Davies' turn to defend big blind. The flop came {10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{j-Spades} and opener Christoph Vogelsang bet 19,000. Davies called then check-folded to 45,000 on the {j-Clubs} turn.

Kenney Forces a Fold from Tilston

Level 10 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Bryn Kenney raised it up to 12,000 on the button with {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Keith Tilston called from the small blind with {7-Spades}{7-Clubs}. The flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Tilston check-called a bet of 16,000 from Kenney.

The {3-Clubs} on the turn put four clubs on the board and both players checked to see the {k-Clubs} on the river. Tilston led out with a bet of 20,000 as he held a bigger flush than what was on the board. Kenney raised it up to 71,000, playing just the board and got Tilston to lay down the best hand.

Win One, Lose One for Peters

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante

Bryn Kenney and David Peters were heads-up in a three-bet pot with the flop reading {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Peters checked from the big blind with {a-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Kenney bet 21,000 from the cutoff holding {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}.

Peters called and the {6-Clubs} landed on the turn. Peters checked again and Kenney fired out a bet of 49,000 with his top pair. Peters wasted little time before sending his cards to the muck.

In the next hand, Kenney opened to 10,000 with {a-Hearts}{j-Spades} and Peters three-bet to 42,000 with {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick looked down at {a-Spades}{k-Spades} in the big blind and four-bet to 105,000. Kenney quickly folded but Peters made the call.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Peters checked to Chidwick who continued for 60,000. Peters stuck around to see the {4-Clubs} on the turn and both players checked. The {9-Spades} completed the board and Peters led out for 220,000. Chidwick slid the best hand into the muck and Peters recovered his lost chips.

Dominik Nitsche

Koray Aldemir opened for 9,000 on the button, Dan Smith raised to 42,000 and Dominik Nitsche stuffed his 93,000 from the big blind. Aldemir used a time extension then slid in a tower of chips, with Smith folding and showing the {a-Hearts}.

Aldemir: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Nitsche: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}

The {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} brought some hope for Nitsche as he picked up a gutshot. After the {k-Hearts} turn, he got there with the {9-Clubs} river.

Aldemir Doubles Through Smith

Level 9 : 2,000/4,000, 5,000 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

From the cutoff, Koray Aldemir raised to 8,000 and Dan Smith called on the button, as did Seth Davies in the big blind.

The flop landed {7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Clubs} and after Davies checked, Aldemir continued for 20,000. Smith raised to 65,000, and Davies quickly folded.

Aldemir responded by shoving all in for 274,000, and Smith quickly called.

Aldemir: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Smith: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}

Aldemir was trailing and at-risk, but he had outs to a flush and a gutshot.

The {Q-Diamonds} on the turn would see Aldemir increase his outs by three, and when the {8-Hearts} filled the board on the river, he would double through to nearly 600,000.

Big blind Koray Aldemir bet 13,000 into about 30,000 on the turn with {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} on the felt. Seth Davies called on the button and the river was the {4-Clubs}. Aldemir checked and Davies was content to pat as well.

"Straight flush," Aldemir said.

"You have a straight flush?" Davies asked.

Aldemir showed {5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} with a smile.

"That'll do it," Davies allowed.
