Exits Stacking Up

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bedell Busts Yankov Again

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Tom-Aksel Bedell
Tom-Aksel Bedell

Tom-Aksel Bedell raised in the hijack and called when Krasimir Yankov three-bet to 34,000 in the cutoff. Bedell tossed in a call to the K♠8♥J♥ flop, which he checked over to Yankov.

Yankov bet 75,500, a large portion of his stack.

"I did not like the flop," Bedell admitted.

"Me neither," Yankov replied.

Bedell eventually decided to put Yankov at risk, and the latter quickly called off his stack of 115,000.

Krasimir Yankov: K♣Q♠Q♣6♠ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♠A♦10♣3♥

"I did not expect that," Yankov said as Bedell revealed his aces. The rockets of Bedell made a set on the A♣ turn, and Yankov was eliminated for the second time today when the 6♦ river completed the board.

Alioto Foregoes Bluff

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a pot of 90,000, Dario Alioto bet 50,000 on the 7♠9♦J♣6♣ turn from the hijack. Sascha Wilhelm called in the cutoff for the K♦ river to complete the board.

Alioto went deep into the tank, relinquishing two time banks for checking. Wilhelm quickly checked back, with his K♠Q♠J♦9♥ winning the pot against the 10♥10♣3♣2♥ of Alioto.

Pahlawani's Aces Survive Scary Board

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

PLO Grand Slam regular Aaron Pahlawani had just taken his seat when he three-bet an open from Daniel Birkmose to 28,500 in the cutoff. Birkmose called to the 4♠3♦6♦ board, which checked through.

Birkmose bet 30,000 on the 5♥ turn, eventually being called by Pahlawani. The players checked the Q♥ river to showdown, where Pahlawani showed a hesitant Birkmose A♠A♣8♣5♣ to win the pot.

Zegal Goes for Thin Value

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Stanislav Zegal had raised in the cutoff when the recently doubled Csaba Fenyvesi flicked in a three-bet to 25,000 in the small blind. Zegal called to the 10♣10♠J♦ flop, where Fenyvesi continued for 18,000.

Zegal raised to 45,000, which Fenyvesi matched after some thought. After the 5♦ turn checked through to the 9♠ river, Fenyvesi knuckled the table again.

Zegal took some time before he came out with a bet of 76,500. Fenyvesi announced a call, but he mucked his cards when Zegal showed Q♠J♠8♣3♣ for a straight to the queen.

Derwiche Up to Usual Antics

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Imad Derwiche
Imad Derwiche

Imad Derwiche in the hijack and Csaba Fenyvesi in the cutoff each put in 38,000 preflop, after which the 3♠2♣6♣ flop appeared on the table. Derwiche bet 25,000, and Fenyvesi quickly called.

Derwiche asked what the size of the pot was before he bet 130,000 on the 9♠ turn, slightly less than the 139,500 he received as an answer.

"Keep your chips," Derwiche told Fenyvesi as the latter went into the tank. "If you fold, you can choose two," Derwiche stated and put his cards in front of Fenyvesi.

Fenyvesi did find a fold after spending a time bank, but he politely declined Derwiche's offer, seeing the Frenchman's cards returned to the muck face down.

Amot Gets Shove Through

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a three-bet pot worth 52,000, Mads Amot placed a contiuation-bet of 25,500 on the 2♥8♠J♥ flop. Dirk Rehbronn called in the cutoff, and did so too when Amot sized up to 45,000 on the 2♣ turn.

The 3♦ river saw Amot move all in for 101,000. Rehbronn weighed his options for a few moments before he settled on a fold.
