Another Double Knockout for Dunst; Gruissem and Hartmann Eliminated

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Philipp Gruissem
Philipp Gruissem

Yesterday, Tony Dunst knocked out both Richard Ashby and Julius Colman in a big hand with kings to queens and jacks, and now he again knocked out two players in one hand.

Philipp Gruissem raised to 18,000 from the hijack seat, and Pascal Hartmann shoved all in from the cutoff seat for 108,000. Tony Dunst, in the small blind, made the call and action was back on Gruissem. Gruissem shoved all in for 229,000, and Dunst added the chips to make the call.

Pascal Hartmann: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Philipp Gruissem: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Tony Dunst: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The flop came {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, favoriting Dunst. Gruissem was looking for a club while Hartmann was looking for a nine. The {7-Spades} on the turn and {8-Diamonds} on the river were both blanks and Dunst collected all the chips in the pot.

Kolonias Doubles Through Wang

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From under the gun, Michael Wang raised to 17,000. Stephen Chidwick reraised from the cutoff seat to 42,000, and Wang folded.

On the next hand, Alexandros Kolonias raised on the button, and Wang called from the big blind to see the flop come out {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. Wang checked, Kolonias bet 15,000, and Wang called.

The turn was the {J-Clubs}, and Wang checked again. After Kolonias bet 25,000, Wang check-raised all in, having Kolonias covered. Kolonias called to put himself at risk for 103,000 with the {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for trip nines. Wang had the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a straight to the jack.

The river was the {10-Hearts} to give Kolonias a full house and the double up.

Kitty Don't Know Jack

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Kitty Kuo opened for 18,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 55,000 from Jack O'Neill in the small blind. Kuo made the call and then called a bet of 47,000 on the {9-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop. After the dealer burned and turned the {8-Spades}, O'Neill checked and Kuo slid out a bet of 100,000. It did the trick as O'Neill sent his hand to the muck.

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Dunst Joins the Millionaire Club

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Engels opened for 25,000 on the button only to have Tony Dunst three-bet to 80,000 from the big blind. Engels made the call and the two took a flop of {3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades}. Dunst bet 75,000, Engels called, and the {J-Diamonds} appeared on the turn.

Dunst slowed down with a check, Engels checked behind, and the {5-Spades} completed the board on the river. Dunst slid out a big bet of 165,000, and Engels quickly called by tossing in a few chips. Dunst rolled over the {k-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for top pair, top kicker, and it was good as Engels sent his cards to the muck unseen.
