The Patient Scott Bohlman

Scott Bohlman has just found another double up, this time through Hans Winzeler. Winzeler raised to 30,000 on the button and Bohlman moved all-in from the big blind. Winzeler called and we had a showdown.

Bohlman{A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {J-Spades} {9-Hearts}
Winzeler{A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}

Board: {8-Spades} {7-Spades} {5-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds}

So aces-full for Bohlman who moved up to 296,000. Winzeler now has 730,000.

Davidi Kitai With Another Four Bet

David Kitai - not by the hairs of my chinny, chin, chin.
David Kitai - not by the hairs of my chinny, chin, chin.

Davidi Kitai raised to 43,000 in early position and Naoya Kihara three-bet from the small blind to the tune of 152,000. Back to the Belgian World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet holder and he four-bet to 472,000. The action swung back to Kihara and he went deep into the tank. We doubt that Kihara would have seen the four-bet bluff made by Kitai earlier as they were seated on different tables, but nevertheless, he was in deep thought mode.

Kitai just remained calm with his fingers gently rubbing his chin. Kihara was focused and his girlfriend thought it would be a great opportunity for a photo…snap…Kihara mucked his hand.

Kitai Takes One From Bohlman

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

Scott Bohlman made a rare foray into the pot when he raised to 40,000 in the hijack seat and Davidi Kitai defended his big blind. The flop was {10-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} and Kitai came out leading with a bet of 38,000; Bohlman called. The turn card was the {K-Clubs} and Kitai was in no mood to slow down. He bet 85,000 and Bohlman couldn't stand the heat.

Kihara Wants the Lead Back

Naoya Kihara may have slipped into second place behind Davidi Kitai but that hasn't altered his relentless style of play.

He raised to 70,000 from early position and was only called by Daniel Hindin in the big blind.

The flop fell {j-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Spades} and Hindin check-called a 140,000 bet. The turn appeared as {4-Diamonds} and Hindin checked to hear his Japanese opponent announce, "Pot."

He folded and said, "Nice hand."

Three Flops in Fifteen Minutes

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 0 ante

The action has reached snails pace at the moment. We have seen three flops in the past fifteen to twenty minutes and here they are.

Davidi KItai raised to 44,000 in early position and both blinds called. The flop was {A-Clubs} {9-Spades} {7-Spades} and the action checked through to Kitai who bet 56,000. Kihara folded in the small blind but Chris De Maci check-raised all-in for 348,000 and Kitai folded.

Next we saw Kitai raise to 43,000 in first position and Tommy Le defended the big blind. The flop was {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and Kitai won the hand with a 58,000 c-bet.

Last we saw Daniel Hindin raise to 70,000 in early position and Davidi Kitai defend his big blind. The flop was {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {3-Hearts} and a 150,000 Hindin bet scared off Kitai.

Scott Bohlman Eliminated in 7th Place ($46,692)

Scott Bohlman - 7th place
Scott Bohlman - 7th place

We're at the official final table of six after the elimination of Scott Bohlman. Hans Winzeler came second in this event last year and he confirmed a return to the final table this year after it was he who busted Bohlman.

Bohlman raised to 70,000 from second position and Winzeler was the only caller to the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop.

Winzeler check-bet-pot after Bohlman bet pot himself. That was enough to set Bohlman all in. Call.

Bohlman: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}
Winzeler: {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Spades} for the flopped straight, and redraw to a flush.

Bohlman was in bad shape and he didn't improve through the {3-Clubs}{9-Spades} turn and river.

Straight v Straight: Kihara Wins

Naoya Kihara raised to 70,000 from first position and Davidi Kitai peeled from the button. The flop was {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {7-Spades} and Kitai called a 155,000 Kihara c-bet. The turn card was the {6-Clubs} and this time Kihara decided a little bit of pot control was in order; he checked, Kitai bet 165,000 and Kihara called. The river card {9-Hearts} was checked through and it was time for a showdown.

Kihara{A-Hearts} {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Clubs}
Kitai{9-Clubs} {7-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts}

Both players had straights, but Kihara's was slightly higher and he took down the pot.
