Kenney Doubles Through Yaroshevskyy

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Igor Yaroshevskyy moved all in for the first two hands after coming back from the break and he was called by Bryn Kenney in the big blind for four big blinds in the second hand.

Bryn Kenney: {A-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Igor Yaroshevskyy: {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The board came {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and both players joked, then bumped fists. "A 50k pay jump isn't enough for me to fold," Kenney added, referring to the difference between 5th and 4th place payout.

Yaroshevskyy Takes Big Pot Off Haxton

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Igor Yaroshevskyy limped the button and short stack Quan Zhou forfeited his small blind, while Isaac Haxton checked the big blind. On the {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop, both players checked. After the {6-Diamonds} turn, Haxton checked and subsequently check-raised from 200,000 to 1,000,000. Yaroshevskyy didn't go anywhere and called.

The {2-Hearts} on the river completed the board and Haxton bet 1,600,000. Yaroshevskyy called and Haxton flipped over {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a busted straight draw, while Yaroshevskyy was relieved and claimed the pot with {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

Jan Eric Schwippert
Jan Eric Schwippert

Everyone folded to Jan Eric Schwippert on the button and he shoved all in for what appeared to be 805,000. Big blind Igor Yaroshevskyy didn't hesitate a second and called.

Jan Eric Schwippert: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Igor Yaroshevskyy: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

The dealer rapidly burned and put the board out there which improved neither player: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

Yaroshevskyy's nines held up and Schwippert was heading to the payout desk to collect €159,800. The remaining 5 players are guaranteed €202,500.

Kenney Caught Bluffing

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Bryn Kenney limped in from the small blind and Igor Yaroshevskyy checked his option in the big blind. On the {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, Kenney bet 80,000 and was called before the {6-Hearts} fell on the turn. This time, both players checked.

After the {2-Diamonds} river, Kenney bet 200,000 and Yaroshevskyy called. Kenney's {Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} for queen high ended up second-best to the {K-Hearts}{4-Spades} of Yaroshevskyy, who called with king-high.

Level 20 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

From the small blind, Quan Zhou raised to 215,000 and Isaac Haxton called in the big blind. On the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop, Zhou bet 200,000 and Haxton called before both players checked the {7-Spades} turn.

After the {J-Spades} river, Zhou made it 500,000 to go with 400,000 behind and Haxton called after brief consideration. Zhou showed {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a bluff and Haxton claimed the big pot with {Q-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a flush with the six.
