Kuan Out, Bubble Time

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We just saw {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Spades} on the table when Fredrik Haugen moved all in to put pressure on Nico Kuan. Kuan had very little chips left behind, with quite a lot already in the pot, and he decided to call.

Haugen showed {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Kuan shook his head before mucking his cards.

There are just 46 players remaining, and we are now hand for hand.

Senh Ung Bubbles the WPT Amsterdam

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Senh Ung
Senh Ung

Senh Ung moved in from the under the gun position for his last 39,500. Action folded to David Hudson in the cutoff and he called. Hudson, like Ung from Birmingham, didn't show his cards yet, and neither did Ung as the two of them had to wait till action on all other tables was over. They did tell each other what they had, and it was clear it was going to be a flip. Ad Schaap told Thierry van den Berg that he had folded one of Ung's outs.

Finally, the two of them were allowed to turn over their cards.

David Hudson: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Senh Ung: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

The flop came {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Ung was still looking for an ace or king, or running tens. With the {4-Clubs} on the turn, just aces and kings were good for Ung. None of them would turn up on the river however; {J-Clubs}.

Senh Ung made his exit while the other players and busy rail started clapping. The bubble has burst, the remaining 45 players are in the money and guaranteed €6,000.

Thierry van den Berg raised before the flop to 9,500 and the action folded to Hessel de Vries who moved all in from the small blind for 55,000 after which Johan Verhagen called all in from the big blind for 48,000.

"Call," Van den Berg announced right away, and the three-way showdown went as following.

Van den Berg: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}
De Vries: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Verhagen: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The flop brought {K-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Van den Berg jokingly said, "Showers!"

The turn was the {10-Diamonds} and the river the {3-Spades}, knocking two players out on the first hand after the bubble burst.

Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Farid Yachou raised before the flop to 8,000 and Steve O'Dwyer three-bet from his immediate left to 25,500. The action folded back around to Yachou, and he made the call.

The flop brought out {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Spades} and Yachou check-called 14,000.

On the turn the {9-Clubs} hit and Yachou check-called another 34,000.

The river completed the board with the {3-Spades} and all of a sudden Yachou moved all in. O'Dwyer was covered, and after a while he called, committing his 126,000-chip stack.

Yachou tabled {A-Spades}{K-Hearts} for a pair of aces, and O'Dywer received a full double up with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for a straight.

Simon Trumper
Simon Trumper

Simon Trumper survived the bubble with just two big blinds, but couldn't make a comeback after the bubble burst.

The British poker legend shoved his chips in after only seeing the {A-Spades}, but would soon find out his second card was a {4-Hearts} as Tonny van Eck moved all in over the top with {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

The board ran out {K-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts} and Trumper hit the rail in 43rd place (€6,000).

Bonavena Doubles Through Nanev, Nanev Doubles Through Refos

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Salvator Bonavena shoved his last 35,500 in from the button and Rumen Nanev in the big blind made the call. Nanev showed {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, a slight edge over Bonavena's {K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. The board ran out {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} however, and Bonavena doubled.

Nanev had just 16,000 left and moved in when action folded to him in the small blind the next hand. Raoul Refos in the big blind was committed and called. Nanev showed {10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, dominating Refos' {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The flop was really good for Refos though with {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}. The {Q-Hearts} on the turn and {4-Diamonds} on the river were blanks however, and Nanev doubled

Mizzi Takes a Big Chunk From O'Dwyer

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We arrived on the scene when the board read {8-Hearts}{J-Spades}{4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and Steve O'Dwyer had checked to Sorel Mizzi who bet 133,000.

O'Dwyer sighed, shook his head and slid forward the call.

Mizzi showed {K-Spades}{7-Spades} for three of a kind, and O'Dwyer sighed once more as he mucked his cards. Mizzi is among the chip leaders while O'Dwyer is back to square one.
