Khalil Gets Some Back

Kai Cocklin

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joseph Antar from the cutoff and Anthony Khalil on the button both saw a flop of 5♦9♥K♠, where Antar fired 10,000 and Khalil called.

A 10♦ on the turn saw Antar check-call a bet of 10,000 from Khalil with the 4♦ completing the runout. Both decided to check and Khalil's rivered two pair with K♣4♣ was good for the pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Joseph Antar shoved his stack of 21,000 into the middle and both Anthony Khalil and Benjamin LeBlond behind also had their stacks in.

Joseph Antar: Q♣Q♥ All in
Benjamin LeBlond: A♦K♣ All in
Anthony Khalil: A♥K♦

Antar had a great opportunity to more than triple up as both of his opponents held the same hand. A flop of 7♠Q♠5♠ have Antar top set and because nobody held a spade, he didn't have much to worry about. The 4♥ turn confirmed him as the winner of the pot, and a meaningless 6♣ landed on the river.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Didier Guerin didn't last too long after taking his seat as his stack was shipped over to Kahle Burns after the chips found themselves in the middle.

Didier Guerin: A♥J♦ All in
Kahle Burns: A♦9♥

Guerin had a stronger hand preflop but a nine on the board of 10♠3♥9♣6♦2♠ meant he was eliminated and Burns chipped up to around 380,000.

Armon van Wijk just registered but got off to a good start after taking down a pot against John Perry.

Van Wijk, in the cutoff, had seen a flop of 2♣6♦3♠ against Perry in the big blind. Perry checked, van Wijk bet 8,000, Perry made it 22,000, and van Wijk called.

Perry then checked the A♦ turn and folded with van Wijk bet 25,000.
