Kisacikoglu Ousts Puterman

Level 15 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Surinder Sunar opened from late position with a limp before Ariel Puterman jammed the button for 67,000. Orpen Kisacikoglu, who lost some chips the prior blind level, asked for a chip count before he three-bet jammed for 150,000 from the small blind.

Sunar looked down at his cards before he folded.

Puterman: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Kisacikoglu: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

Puterman was ahead before the flop but he began to get out of his seat after an ace spiked the {J-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}. Kisacikoglu shook Puterman's hand after the {k-Hearts}{2-Hearts} sent him packing.

$12,6000 Tonkaaaap Home Game Giveaway

At 6:30 p.m. CEST (12:30 p.m. ET), a $5 Tonkaaaap home game will take place.

This will be the seventh of eight home games planned with each tournament featuring a $500 guaranteed prize pool.

You can find the game by searching for tonkaaaap in the tournament lobby.

In addition to the prize pool, 888poker is awarding $600 worth of tickets in each home game.

We saved the best for last, as the winner of each of the eight home games will also be invited to play in a nine-max sit-and-go on June 17 where the winner will walk away with a WSOP package valued at $12,600.

The ninth player at the sit-and-go will be determined based off a random drawing.

Players can earn tickets by heading over to Gleam and complete as many steps provided as possible before the closing date of June 15. The more steps players complete, the more entries they can earn, thus by increasing your chances of winning.

The only caveat to the drawing is that it is only available to players eligible to play at 888poker.

Parasidis Chips Up with a Set

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The action began with Jesper Hansen opening from middle position for 12,000. Ionannis Parasidis called from late position and the player in the big blind came along as well.

The player in the big blind checked the {2-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop before Hansen bet 15,500. Parasidis called and the player in the big blind folded.

Hansen checked after the {3-Hearts} hit the turn before he called a bet for 34,000 from Parasidis.

The {6-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Hansen led out for 40,000. Parasidis snap-called and turned over {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a set. This was more than good to beat the top pair Hansen held with {A-Spades}{8-Spades}.

Kyte Loses a Pot But Still With a Huge Stack

Jon Kyte
Jon Kyte

Ionannis Parasidis bet 28,000 into a pot of around 45,000 with the board reading {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. Kyte used most of his time bank before he tossed in his hand.

The small hand only made a small dent in his stack that was once as high as 750,000. It is now still at a healthy 715,000 which if isn't the chip lead is pretty close.
