Kozlov and Toole Tangle

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

ANZPT Melbourne Champion Martin Kozlov entered the pot from middle position with a raise to 900 and was flatted by Tony Hachem from the button.

Jack Toole three-bet out of the small blind to 3,700 to put the action back on Kozlov.

After nearly two minutes in the tank, Kozlov cut out a four-bet of 7,500 to force Hachem's cards into the muck.

Toole took his allotted time before finding a fold to slip to 43,000 as Kozlov collected the pot to move to 28,000 in chips.

Bach Booming

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
David Bach
David Bach

David Bach called the 725 chip raise from an early position player in order to see the {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} fall on the flop.

This time the aggressor elected to check and Bach would bet 1,225. A call from Bach's opponent would see the {9-Diamonds} roll off on the turn. This time both players checked with the flush and straight scare card quickly halting the action.

The {10-Hearts} on the river saw both players again check and when Bach tabled {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} it was good enough to take down the pot and move to 42,000.

Tanking Topakas

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Steve Topakas just saw himself tank for almost two minutes when involved in this pot with Melanie Weisner.

Topakas raised to 1,375 and sent all players to the muck except Weisner in the small blind who would three-bet to 4,375. Topakas made the call and watched the {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Hearts} turn over on the flop.

Weisner led out for 5,925 and sent Topakas deep into the tank. Topakas thought and thought as time rolled on before asking how much Weisner had. She counted out her chips and Topakas continued his stay athotel tank. After counting his own stack out Topakas made the fold and sent the pot to Weisner.

Weisner moves up to around 42,000 while Topakas falls to around 30,000.

Wise To Fold?

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A middle postion player would raise to 1,000 before action would be folded around to Melanie Weisner in the big blind. Making the call, we would see the flop.

The {j-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{4-Spades} on the flop and Weisner would check to her opponent. He made it 1,600 and after Weisner made the call we would see the {10-Clubs} roll off on the turn. Again Weisner would elect to check, enticing a 2,100 chip bet from her opponent. Weisner called and would see the {a-Hearts} hit the river.

Weisner would again check and watch as her oppponent made it 4,500. Weisner tanked for around a minute before letting go of her hand.

While taking a slight hit, the Full Tilt Poker Red Pro is still healthy with an above average 33,000 chip stack.

Daniel Reijmer raised from under the gun to 900. Charles Chua called from middle position and Andrew Scott called from the cutoff seat. The big blind also called and the four players saw the flop come down {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

The big blind checked and Reijmer stayed aggressive as he has done all tournament with a bet of 2,300. Chua raised him to 5,100 and Scott folded. The big blind also folded before action fell back on Reijmer. What had happened next was something that we hadn't seen much of in this tournament from Reijmer. He folded and lost a pot. He's back to 93,000 now.
