Don't Mess with Mustapha

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Mess with Mustapha Kanit at your peril, the Italian is fearless, as Kane Kalas just found out.

He raised to 1,700 from early position and was called by the hijack before Kanit squeezed to 6,200 from the cutoff. Action back on Kanit, he made it 16,600. The four-bet was enough to oust the third party but not Kanit; he five-bet all in and Kalas quickly folded.

Editors note: Kanit could well have had aces for a fourth time.

Akindele Reverses Trend

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Shola Akindele was witnessed as high as 90,000 earlier but slipped back since then. She just won a small three-way pot to get back up to around 68,000.

She opened from the cutoff and picked up a call from the button and Timo Pfutzenreuter in the big blind. All three players checked the {4-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop to head to {2-Diamonds} turn. The action checked to the button who bet 1,600. Pfutzenreuter folded quickly but Akindele called to the {k-Diamonds} river.

Both players went back to checking and the dealer pointed at the button to show. He knew he was beat and held his card towards the muck and finally into it after Akindele opened {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

McMaster Shoves the River

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

With around 7,000 in the pot and a board reading {4-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, a player in middle position bet 3,000 only to have Alan McMaster three-bet all in from the hijack for right around 21,000. The middle-position player thought for nearly two minutes and eventually laid down his hand.

Deadman Apologises in Advance

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

Simon Deadman's pretty good at showdowns. So good in fact that he got the last of his chips in dominated and thought it best to apologise to his opponent in advance.

A player in the hijack raised to 1,600 before Deadman three-bet all for 10,000 from the button. The small blind moved all in behind and the original raiser flashed pocket nines and left them to it.

Deadman's {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} was in bad shape against his opponent's {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} but he found a way out on the {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board.

Pocket Rockets for Kempson

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante

"I waited so long for kings," we heard a short-stacked player bemoan.

We made our way over to discover that he did in fact get his last 8,000 all in preflop holding pocket kings, but he was unfortunate to run into the buzzsaw that is Corey Kempson.

Kempson: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out a clean {q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Kempson added to his already massive stack.

Bryan Huang

Bryan Huang's table mates were full of envy at the way he won a chunky pot as play nears an end here on Day 2.

The Team PokerStars Pro was on the button and battling the big blind. They'd made it to the river with the board reading {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Huang bet 13,500 and after a bit of thought, his opponent moved all in for almost 40,000 with {5-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Huang snapped him off with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and was full of smiles as he was teased.
