Kuo Doubles Her Opponent

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On a board of {4-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} the player in the small blind bet 2,500 and was called by Kitty Kuo from middle position.

The {4-Diamonds} completed the board and the player in the small blind moved all in for 8,775. Kuo thought for a minute before tossing in two 5,000-chips denoting a call.

The small blind then flipped over {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for two pair and took down the pot after Kuo revealed {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for a lesser two pair.

On a flop of {9-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} the player in the big blind checked. Reza Vakili was in middle position and bet 1,350. The player in the hijack called. The big blind got out of the way.

The turn brought the {7-Spades} and Vakili bet 2,650 which was matched shortly after.

The {7-Diamonds} completed the board and Vakili paused for a moment before tossing out 5,250. His opponent went into the tank for a minute then made the call.

"Aces," announced Vakili, before he flipped over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} for two pair.

His opponent stared at the cards for a moment before flicking his cards to the muck.

Krstanovski Gets Paid

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the river of a board {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}, Mile Krstanovski bet 12,500 for more than the size of the pot and his opponent on the button tossed in a single T-25 chip. Krstanovski turned over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for the nut straight and some discussion broke out after to make sure that the single chip was a call, which was confirmed by tournament staff.

Lewis in Trouble

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Romain Lewis lost top set against a flush draw and was soon after all in and at risk with the {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, facing {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} of his table neighbor. Lewis managed to triple up and got a jam through the next hand, but remains short on just over 30 big blinds.

In the meanwhile, Michael Song has chipped up on his table to get well above the average.

Queens Take Down Guerin

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Didier Guerin has been eliminated earlier in the level and twice it was pocket queens that haunted him. First it was a four-bet pot that saw him cbet a ten-high flop and fold to a jam by Ajay Gnanasambanthan. Then, Guerin couldn't find the fold anymore in a battle of the blinds against Aram Zobian and ended up second-best versus pocket aces.

Cards, Chips, Aussie Millions

With only very few chips in to the {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop - 1,100 apiece preflop to be precise - and Jongwon Yoon raised a 2,500 bet by Arthur Kalantzis to 7,000, Kalantzis reraised to 13,000. Yoon moved all in for well over 40,000 and Kalantzis gave it just some consideration before calling it off for more than 35,000.

Arthur Kalantzis: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Jongwon Yoon: {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

The {8-Diamonds} turn gave Kalantzis some further outs, but the {7-Spades} river was a blank. Kahle Burns and Chin Wei Lim shook their heads in disbelief and once all was over, John Hagen joked "Merry Chrismas" to table neighbor Yoon.

Drinan Left Short After Setup Hand

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

On the {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts} turn, Miroslav Vincic in the hijack bet 2,000 and Connor Drinan called in the cutoff. The button min-raised to 4,000 and both opponents called. Vincic bet the {2-Diamonds} river for 6,000 and Drinan reluctantly called, as did the button.

Vincic turned over {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for the top full house, and Drinan shook his head, flashing {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for the inferior full house. The button mucked and Vincic dragged in a very healthy pot, joining Dennis Huntly as table big stack.
