Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Espen Myrmo raised to 70,000 in early position and was called by Daniel Tordjman on the button. Small blind Leonid Yanovski then jammed for 160,000 and was called in both spots.

Myrmo and Tordjman checked through the 7♠7♦J♥ flop before Myrmo fired 150,000 on the 2♦ turn. Tordjman quickly got out of the way and a showdown was ordered.

Leonid Yanovski: A♥K♣J♠3♥ All in
Espen Myrmo: K♠K♥Q♠5♦

Myrmo's kings held on the 6♣ river, sending out Yanovski shortly after he had registered at the last possible moment.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Four-way, "Bababoy" moved his stack of 400,000 in on a flop of 7♦9♦4♠ from under the gun. Cutoff Max Kruse was the only caller, and the pair turned over their cards.

"Bababoy": K♠K♥9♥5♣ All in
Max Kruse: 7♠7♥3♠3♥

Kruse had flopped a set of sevens, leaving "Bababoy" with two direct outs. The 9♣ turn added some more, but the A♠ river bricked out. The Diamond Poker Series Ambassador took in "Bababoy"s chips and ended with about double the average.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Catching the action on a completed board of 10♥8♠3♣7♥5♠, small blind Leon Freiholz checked to Daniel Tordjman in the hijack. Tordjman bet a pot-sized 400,000, which Freiholz raised to 1,150,000.

Tordjman then shoved all in for 1,870,000, and Freiholz called after getting a count and some deliberation.

"Nuts," declared Tordjman, who tabled J♦J♣9♥4♦ for a straight to the jack. Freiholz quickly flashed a straight to the ten as he paid his debts and was left with 25 big blinds.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Hossein Madani limped in from the hijack, prompting Krasimir Yankov to raise to 80,000 on the button. "Alakazam" called in the small blind before Giora Tsimmerman squeezed to 295,000 from the big blind.

Madani spent one time bank before he folded, after which Yankov quickly called all-in for 170,000. "Alakazam" got out of the way, leaving the two players to show down.

Krasimir Yankov: A♠K♠Q♣2♠ All in
Giora Tsimmerman: A♥A♦9♦3♦

The last ace appeared on the A♣J♥4♠ flop, giving Tsimmerman top set. The 4♥ turn gave him the checkmark, and Yankov said his goodbyes as the 6♠ river completed the board.

Level 12 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Blind on blind, Elie Nakache and Dario Alioto had reached the 4♦5♠9♦A♥9♥ river when Nakache checked to Alioto. Alioto then bet into the pot of roughly 200,000, after which Nakache raised all in for 465,000.

Alioto called it off for Nakache to reveal 9♣8♠6♠5♦ for a full house. Alioto mucked his A♣J♣K♠5♥ as he ended up even in stacks with Nakache.
