Kabbaj Back Above Starting Stack

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

John Kabbaj took down a four-way pot on the flop by betting the pot to help himself back above starting stack while Mikkel Plum has not been running good early on yet. In a three-way flop of {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs} he gave up against a bet of Dimitri Holdeew and showed his cards high enough to table neighbor Claus Carlsen, it was a pair of kings with ace and queen.

Carlsen Fires; Holdeew Calls

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Joining the action on the flop {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, Claus Carlsen bet 2,000 and was called by Dimitri Holdeew on the button. The {A-Clubs} on the turn saw the Dane fire another bullet worth 5,000 and again Holdeew called, without much hesitation as well. The {8-Hearts} on the river then triggered a final barrel worth 5,000 by Carlsen with just 11,000 behind and Holdeew called after some consideration.

The Dane immediately mucked and forfeited more than half of his stack in this attempt.

Hot off the Press

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante
Besim Hot
Besim Hot

Besim Hot has been eliminated. Five-ways to the flop {A-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, Jesper Hougaard check-called a bet of 2,000 by Hot and all the other players in the hand folded. The {6-Clubs} turn saw a bet of 5,000 by Hot and a call by Hougaard before the Swiss announced all in blind. An {8-} on the river gave Hougaard the nuts with {J-Diamonds}{10-}{9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Hot's set of aces with the {A-Clubs} for the nut flush draw on the turn were no good anymore.

Break Time

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

The players are now enjoying a 20 minute break from the action. Level 4 begins with 100/200 blinds when play resumes.

Double Stack for Sgorrano

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Miltiadis Kyriakides pushed the turn of a {K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{5-Hearts} board to enforce a fold from Besim Hot with the Swiss mucking the {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for two pair. "Wow you fold that?" Kyriakides laughed and showed him the {Q-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for inferior two pair.

Over on the third table, the dealer announced a seat open and the cards were already rushed away while the chips are pushed to Jerome Sgorrano. The Belgian was involved in a five-way pot to a queen-high flop with two diamonds. One player bet 1,100 and just Sgorrano called before a {K-} hit on the turn. Sgorrano check-raised from 2,600 to 6,750 and was called before leading the {9-Spades} river for 6,500.

His opponent shoved for 22,000 and the Belgian tank-called with {A-}{K-Diamonds}{K-}{3-Diamonds} for top set, the other player was semi-bluffing with two pair.
