Rabichow Sends Richter to Rail

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Linus Richter
Linus Richter

Linus Richter opened to 13,000 on the button and the small blind flat-called. Kevin Rabichow then three-bet to 58,000 from the big blind and Richter four-bet shoved a stack of around 280,000. The small blind folded and Rabichow called with a slightly larger stack.

Linus Richter: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Kevin Rabichow: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Richter was dominated and received no help from the runout of {4-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{4-Clubs} to be eliminated as a massive pot was shipped to Rabichow.

Daniels Shows Ace-Jack

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jake Daniels
Jake Daniels

The cutoff opened to 11,000 and Jake Daniels three-bet to 36,000 from the button. The action folded back around to the cutoff, who thought for a moment and four-bet to 83,000.

Daniels eyed up his opponent's stack before tossing {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} face-up into the muck. Daniels could afford to lose the pot as he's built up a tower of chips throughout the day and currently sits with a stack of 410,000.

Wang Busts a Player Then Doubles Up Gierse

Level 14 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Michael Wnag
Michael Wnag

Joseph Cheong opened to 10,000 from middle position before Michael Wong raised to 27,000 from the hijack. The cutoff then four-bet to 65,000. Cheong quickly folded but Wang went deep into the tank and eventually, the clock was called. Wang ended up moving all in for around 275,000 and was snapped by his opponent, who he just narrowly covered.

Cutoff: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Michael Wang: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

There was an ace in the window but it was rendered useless as a queen followed on the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop. A {4-} hit the turn and the {2-Clubs} river confirmed that the huge pot would be sent Wang's way.

The very next hand, Marius Gierse, with {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, was all in against Wang's pocket fives. There was an ace on the flop and Gierse held to double up.
