Szecsi Chips Up Against Van Loo

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Norbert Szecsi
Norbert Szecsi

Joining the action on the {k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, Tim Van Loo checked out of the big blind and Norbert Szecsi bet 1,800 from under the gun. Van Loo then check-raised to 6,500 and Szecsi called.

The {3-Clubs} followed on the turn for Van Loo to bet 16,000 and Szecsi called as they then headed to the {7-Spades} on the river. This time, both checked and Van Loo tabled the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} for a set of sixes. Szecsci had that beat with the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and dragged in a healthy pot.

Small Boost for Mehmood

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three ways to the {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} turn, Omar Mehmood bet 1,300 and Yehoram Houri called by tossing in a single T-5,000 chip. Both then checked the {7-Hearts} on the river and Mehmood exposed the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} for queens and treys.

Houri flashed his {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{10-Clubs}{x-} with a dry smile on the face as he had missed all the straight outs.

Bohlman Gets off Short Stack

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

After boosting his stack early, Scott Bohlman's stack has been sliding. However, a recent pot has got it back toward it's starting level.

With 6,400 in the pot on a turn board of {9-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{k-Spades}, Bohlman's opponent in the small blind check-called a bet of 4,000.

On the {2-Diamonds} river, action was again checked to Bohlman who bet 12,000 and got called, as he showed {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} for a full house of nines full of kings for the winner.

Flop Bet Wins It for Capitan

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Plenty of "semi-retired" poker players have admitted to no longer play full time but it appears that this very event is attracting many who have a preference for Pot-Limit Omaha. One of them happens to be Bogdan Capitan, who is now studying and researching at the university in Vienna and he was spotted with a preflop three-bet to 4,000.

His sole remaining opponent called and the flop came {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}. The action checked to Capitan and he bet 4,000 to win the pot right there.

Mahmood Takes From McCormick

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante

Heads-up to the {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} turn, Ayaz Mahmood bet for what appeared to be 8,600 and was called by Tom McCormick, who tossed in two T-5,000 chips for the call. Mahmood bet again on the {j-Clubs} river for 5,000 and McCormick eventually folded to get shown the {k-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}.

"That's good," McCormick said as he mentioned to have let go of {k-}{10-}{9-}{7-} after missing all straight outs.
