Steicke Doubles; Vas Nunes Missing

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Paul vas Nunes
Paul vas Nunes

David Steicke check-raised all in after the {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} turn for his last 6,400 out of the big blind and his sole opponent called with {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} only to see Steicke turn over {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for the unbeatable straight. The meaningless {4-Hearts} river was a mere formality and the Aussie dragged in the pot.

The seat of Paul Vas Nunes was empty and the Brit was still standing on the rail. According to him, he faced a limp and a raise to 1,200 by Winfred Yu before three-betting to 3,700 out of the small blind. Only Yu called and did so for 3,200 on a queen-high flop with a spades flush draw. A {5-} turn was checked through and a {J-} on the river brought a bet of 5,200 by Vas Nunes, the shove of Yu and the call by the Brit.

Yu turned over {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a rivered straight and vas Nunes' kings for the overpair ended up second best.

Hausen the Top Dog in the House

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Tobias Hausen already had a big stack close to the end of the dinner break but the massive tower he sits behind on right now is more than the chip leaders bagged up at the end of Day 1a. A quick chat with Hausen revealed that a big pot took place before the dinner break still to vault the German into a big lead.

According to Hausen it was a battle of the blinds in which his opponent limped and the German raised to four times the big blind before getting called. On an {A-}{A-}{9-} flop with flush draw, the small blind bet 1.5 times the pot and Hausen min-raised to get called. A {4-} appeared on the turn and action checked to Hausen, who bet 8,000 into 16,000 and his opponent made it 24,000 to go, Hausen called.

A blank {2-} river was checked to Hausen, who moved all in with a full house and his opponent called with {10-}{9-} for aces and nines only.

Graner Three-Bets and Shuts Down

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

A player in the hijack checked to Stephen Graner on a {4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop. Graner bet 2,200, about half-pot and his opponent made it 5,000. Graner came back with 19,000 after a long think and his opponent called right away. Both checked the {j-Hearts} and {9-Diamonds} and Graner couldn't beat the {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.

Quoss Suffers A Setback

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

In a preflop raising war, Fabian Quoss got it all in against his left-hand neighbor. Quoss had five-bet shoved from the big blind against an under the gun four-bet to create a 62,000 pot.

Quoss held {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} but was in dire straights against his opponent's {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. The German high roller got just one of the two needed kings on {3-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and dropped down to 13,000.

Another Double for Warne

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Shane Warne
Shane Warne

Shane Warne limped from early position. The cutoff raised to 1,100 and the big blind flat-called. Warne then limp-jammed for 2,850. The cutoff called and the big blind folded.

Shane Warne: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Cutoff: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

There was a King on the flop as the board ran out {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Spades} giving Warne the full double-up.

Foxen Can't Shake Wysocki

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Szymon Wysocki
Szymon Wysocki

On a {6-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{K-Clubs} flop, Szymon Wysocki checked from the big blind to Alex Foxen on the button, who bet 1,300. Wysocki quickly called the bet. The {Q-Clubs} on the turn got checked by both players.

Foxen tried to take it with a 3,200 bet on the {5-Hearts} river but Wysocki wasn't having any of it and called with {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Foxen couldn't muster up any better and handed over the chips.

Setback for Tam after Tangling with Pettersson

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Picking up the action on a flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Jan Pettersson checked and called a bet of David Tam for 2,050 before the {Q-Clubs} appeared on the turn. Pettersson checked once more and Tam made it 3,600 to go, which the Aussie called.

The {10-Clubs} on the river completed a possible back door flush and Pettersson checked. Tam fired a third barrel for 3,000 and faced a check-raise to 8,600 by Pettersson almost immediately. A quick call followed and Pettersson showed the {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the nut flush to scoop a decent pot.

While the hand played out, Tom Alner sat down in the one seat and will be joining the action shortly.

Updated Chip Counts; Young Soaring

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Ana Marquez opened to 1,000. Paul Michaelis three-bet to 3,900 and Rory Young four-bet to 10,000, which forced both players out.

Young showed {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}. "The nizzles!" he said with a grin. "I thought about flatting, but then I thought: 'Nah!'"

"I had one over," said Michaelis.

"Me too," said Marquez.

Wilson Cracks Aces to Double

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

In a battle of the blinds a pot of 9,300 emerged until the {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and the small blind bet 4,600. Troy Wilson in the big blind moved all in for 24,400 and the small blind gave it some thought before calling with the far superior stack.

Troy Wilson: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}
Small blind: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}

The {Q-Clubs} on the turn brought an additional sweat, but a blank {6-Spades} on the river let Wilson double.
