Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Bjorn Ostby
Bjorn Ostby

In a three-bet pot to the {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop, Dingxiang Ong in the hijack check-called a barrel by Bjorn Ostby on the button and did so again on the {J-Diamonds} turn. The {4-Spades} came on the river and Ong checked once more. Ostby bet 60,000 and Ong moved all in, the snap-call followed.

Ong turned over {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for the nut flush and Ostby held the {J-Clubs}{J-Spades} for the nut full house. Ostby doubled for 149,500 and took a big chunk out of Ong's stack, who still has a very decent stack.

One hand later, Ostby raised to 4,500 and Alex Lynskey three-bet from one seat over to 13,000. Gyeong Byeong Lee four-bet to 27,000 and Ostby folded with a grin on the face. Lynskey asked for the stack size of Lee and moved all in, Lee snap-called.

Gyeong Byeong Lee: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Alex Lynskey: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Lee doubled for 119,900, leaving Lynskey with a mountain to climb.

The player in middle position raised to 5,500 before Jason Pritchard re-raised to 17,200 from the big blind. The original raiser called.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Pritchard continued for 13,000. His opponent thought for a minute before raising it up to 35,000.

"I don't know whether I believe you," stated Pritchard moments later.

A minute later Pritchard reluctantly folded relinquishing the pot to his opponent.

Mccully Busts to Lynskey

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a flop of {J-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}, Joshua Mccully ended up all in and at risk with the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}. He was in dire need of help as Alex Lynskey quickly looked him up with the {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

However, it was all over for Mccully on the {A-Hearts} turn, which made the {7-Hearts} river a formality. His seat was empty for a mere minute, as big stack Dingxiang Ong was moved over.

Aram Zobian raised from under the gun before Michael Soyza re-raised to 12,000 from middle position. The player in the cutoff then moved all in for 31,100. The action folded back around to Zobian who moved all in for 72,600. Soyza snap-called and had both players covered.

Aram Zobian: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Michael Soyza: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Soyza had his opponents covered and had the lead with the superior pocket pair.

However, the board ran out {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, resulting in Zobian spiking a king on the river to take down the massive pot.

Table 28 Spicing Things Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The player under the gun called followed by the player in the small blind. Michael Gathy checked from the big blind.

The flop came {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and the small blind checked. Gathy bet 2,500 but found no callers.

The table then agreed that for the remainder of the level that every time a player won a hand they had to show one of their cards. If someone mucked their hand, even by accident, then for an orbit they would have to show both cards.
