Bajric Wins Massive Pot Against "Bruno Schulz"

Frank Visser

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

Tina Bajric and "Bruno Schulz" were heads up on a completed board of 8♠10♥7♥A♣4♠. Bajric fired a pot-sized bet of 250,000, which nearly covered the stack of "Bruno Schulz".

"Bruno Schulz" spent some time in the tank before eventually flicking in a few calling chips. Bajric tabled J♣9♠6♠2♠ for the nut straight and "Bruno Schulz" quickly mucked his cards.

They were left with just 3,000, which they lost the next hand to be eliminated.

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

Robert Cowen had raised to 6,000 from the cutoff when Tom-Aksel Bedell shoved in his last 11,500 from the small blind. Stanislau Melhui then four-bet to 41,500 in the big blind, which Cowen called.

Melhui bet the pot of 98,000 on the 2♣3♠9♣ flop before committing his remaining 78,000 chips on the K♣ turn. Cowen called twice and all three showed down.

Tom-Aksel Bedell: J♠10♣9♥7♥ All in
Stanislau Melhui: K♠Q♠Q♣10♦ All in
Robert Cowen: K♦J♥9♠2♠

Cowen was in the lead with his two pair, but the J♣ river made Melhui a straight for slightly more than a double-up, sending Bedell out.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Arriving on a completed board of 5♦3♦J♠7♦6♣, small blind Kasparas Klezys made a small bet of 30,000 into a sizable pot of 120,000. Ronald Keijzer on the button then put Klezys all-in for roughly 165,000.

Klezys thought it over for a minute or so before committing his stack. Keijzer showed K♥K♦10♦2♣ for a king-high flush. Klezys flashed A♥A♣J♦5♠ for jacks and fives before departing from the table.

Frank Visser

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Robert Cowen, Stanislau Melhui, and Dario Alioto had gotten their stacks in on a flop of 10♥9♠2♦. Cowen was at risk with his stack of 186,000, while Melhui played 198,000 and Alioto covered both.

Robert Cowen: A♠J♦8♠7♣ All in
Stanislau Melhui: A♥10♦9♥5♣ All in
Dario Alioto: J♥J♣2♠2♣

Cowen's wrap came in on the 6♦ turn, while the 4♥ river changed nothing. He tripled up with his straight and the small side pot was shipped to Alioto, eliminating Melhui in the process.
