Hands #63-69: Lewis Four-bets Park

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #63: Espen Solaas raised to 180,000 from the cutoff with {K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}. Chul-Hyon Park held {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs} in the big blind and defended. Both players completely missed the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop and Solaas took it with a bet of 140,000.

Hand #64: Park completed the small blind with {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Stefan Huber checked his option with {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Both players flopped a pair on {4-Spades}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades}. Park bet 125,000 with bottom pair and Huber called with middle pair.

The {9-Spades} rolled off on the turn and both players checked. Both players checked again on the {9-Clubs} river and Huber won the hand.

Hand #65: Huber completed {A-Spades}{2-Diamonds} in the small blind, Solaas raised to 280,000 with {Q-Spades}{3-Clubs} and Huber called. Solaas paired up on {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} and bet 150,000 after Huber checked. The small bet got Huber in for another street.

The {9-Spades} on the turn went check/check. The river brought another nine with the {9-Clubs}, counterfeiting Solaas' hand. Huber, now with the best of it, bet 235,000. Solaas gave it up.

Hand #66: Chul-Hyon Park raised to 190,000 from the cutoff with {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}. Mike Del Vecchio bought a flop with {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} in the big blind. The {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop went check/check. Park caught top pair on the {K-Clubs} turn and once again, action went check/check.

The river was the {5-Diamonds} and Del Vecchio checked a third time. Park bet 175,000 but was unable to extract value from Del Vecchio.

Hand #67: Del Vecchio completed {J-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} in the small blind and Toby Lewis checked {5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades} flop made Del Vecchio bet 125,000 and Lewis folded.

Hand #68: Del Vecchio raised {K-Hearts}{8-Clubs} on the button and won the blinds.

Hand #69: Lewis made it 160,000 on the button with {K-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Park three-bet to 525,000 with {A-Spades}{4-Spades} in the small blind. Lewis four-bet to 1,200,000 and Park gave it up.

Hand #58: Espen Solaas opened with {a-Spades}{9-Spades} in the cutoff to 180,000 and got action from Mike Del Vecchio with {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} on the button and Chul-Hyon Park ({8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}) in the big.

The {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{10-Spades} flop connected with Solaas but action checked to Del Vecchio, who bet 260,000. Solaas called and the {a-Diamonds} fell. Both checked and the river was an {a-Hearts}. Check-check again and Solaas showed down his aces full.

Hand #59: Solaas opened with {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} under the gun to 160,000. He won the pot.

Hand #60: Stefan Huber opened for 280,000 in the small blind with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and took it down.

Hand #61: Huber opened again, this time on the button with {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Del Vecchio defended big blind with {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} with both players checking to showdown.

Hand #62: Park made it 190,000 under the gun with {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Huber called with {9-Spades}{8-Spades} in the cutoff and Toby Lewis called in the big with {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Park bet 300,000 and Huber continued, pairing on the {9-Clubs}. Park fired again for 650,000 and Huber called. The river brought the {j-Clubs} and Park moved all in for more than the size of the pot. Huber only needed about 30 seconds before shipping his cards in.

Hands #56-57: Huber Doubles Through Solaas

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #56: Stefan Huber raised to 175,000 on the button with {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and won the hand uncontested.

Hand #57: Huber raised to 180,000 in the cutoff with {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. On the button, Espen Solaas got dealt another {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and three-bet to 510,000. Huber four-bet shoved for 1,825,000 and Solaas snap-called.

The German rail shouted for an ace on the top of their lungs. The {3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop brought the five as an additional out for Huber. A thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd when the {5-Spades} landed on the turn to secure Huber's double-up, making the {6-Diamonds} river merely for the statistics.

With the double-up, Huber and Solaas now have nearly equal stacks.

Hand #55: Chul-Hyon Park raised with {2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} in the cutoff and Ben Richardson shoved for 1,155,000 with {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} in the small blind. Espen Solaas woke up with {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. He tanked awhile and called, and Park mucked.

The {8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop brought zero help for the Aussie. A {3-Clubs} likewise meant it was three outs to the river and the {9-Clubs} bricked off.

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #49: Stefan Huber pushed all in with {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} on the button and got no action.

Hand #50: Espen Solaas opened to 280,000 with {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} in the small blind and Mike Del Vecchio flatted with {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The flop came {10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and Solaas settled on a small bet of 190,000, which was quickly called. The turn was a {5-Hearts} and Solaas slowed down with a check. The river was a {4-Clubs} and Del Vecchio bet 380,000 when checked to. That earned him the pot.

Hand #51: Huber raised to 175,000 with {q-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Del Vecchio three-bet with {a-}{j-} and won the pot in short order.

Hand #52: Solaas opened to 180,000 with {10-Spades}{6-Spades} in the cutoff and Toby Lewis was in the small blind with {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}. He just called and they saw an {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop. Lewis checked the flop and saw a 140,000 bet emerge from his foe. Lewis came back with 400,000. Solaas peeled and they saw the {5-Spades} hit. Lewis barreled again for 450,000. Solaas again stuck around to see the {3-Clubs} hit on the river.

Lewis checked and Solaas bet 800,000. That induced an immediate fold.

Hand #43: Toby Lewis raised to 225,000 from middle position holding {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Espen Solaas defended his big blind with {J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Hand #46: Solaas found {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} in the cutoff and made it 180,000 to go. Unfortunately for Solaas, there were no customers and he picked up just the blinds and antes.
