Aces Double Up Karli

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sami Karli in the cutoff shoved his last 102,500 into a pot of 106,000 on a flop of 76A. Emanuel Singer sat in the hijack and check-called after some thought.

Sami Karli: AAJ5 All in
Emanuel Singer: J986

Karli's set held against the draw of Singer on the 24 runout, doubling him up to an average stack.

Kruse Joins, Jachtmann Bluffs With Big Stack

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Diamond Poker Ambassador Max Kruse had just sat down when he opened his button to 14,000. Burak Simsek, who had lost most of his former big stack, called in the small blind and Jan-Peter Jachtmann defended his big blind.

The trio checked through the Q34 flop for the 6 to arrive on the turn. Simsek checked again, but Jachtmann fired 40,000.

Kruse quickly folded before Simsek called after giving it some thought. Jachtmann then put Simsek all-in for his last 135,000 on the K river, receiving a quick check-fold.

A grin appeared on Jachtmann's face as he tabled 9972 for just a pair of nines.

Daci Doubles "Phil Ejri"

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Arjel Daci made a bet of 26,000 from the small blind on a flop of J28. Button "Phil Ejri" raised the pot to 112,000, which Daci called with a sigh.

"Phil Ejri" then tossed in his last 4,500 on the 6 turn and Daci did not fold for the remaining crumbs.

"Phil Ejri": J1098 All in
Arjel Daci: AJ92

"Phil Ejri"s top two pair were in the lead and remained so on the K river. Last edition's runner-up doubled up while Daci was left with less than 20 big blinds.

Cowen Doubles on Attempt Four

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

The action was caught on a river of Q4977, where Robert Cowen had bet 40,000 from the big blind. Saeed Rehman then raised him all-in for 140,000, and Cowen called after some thinking time.

Rehman showed KQJ10 for two pair, which was no good against the 9788 of Cowen, who doubled up with his full house.

"I was scared I had to fire bullet five," Cowen admitted as he raked in the chips.

Krzesinski Left With Chip and Chair

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

Tomasz Krzesinski raised his cutoff before Fabian Riebau-Schmithals three-bet to 36,000 on the button. It folded back to Krzesinski, who stuck in a call.

Krzesinski check-called Riebau-Schmithals' bet of 20,000 on the 543 flop before both players checked the J turn. The 7 river saw Krzesinski lead out for 101,000, leaving only 5,000 behind.

Riebau-Schmithals raised him all-in, and Krzesinski spent a couple of time bank cards before realizing the action was on him and quickly folding.

Tom-Aksel Bedell was also spotted at this table, playing a fresh stack after reentering.
