Klezys Left Empty After Clash With Keijzer

Frank Visser

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.

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

Aaron Pahlawani, Ronald Keijzer and "Alakazam" were three-way to a flop of 10♠A♦Q♥, which checked around. The Q♣ turn checked through as well before Pahlawani fired 25,000 on the 2♣ river.

Keijzer flicked in a call and "Alakazam" instantly folded. Pahlawani tabled Q♠Q♦7♥4♠ for quad queens and took down the pot.

"This table is rigged," "Alakazam" jokingly noted.

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

Staring at a completed board of 4♦7♥7♠10♣9♦, "HansImperator" checked from middle position to Tomas Ribeiro in the cutoff. Ribeiro made a bet of 55,000 into a pot of 95,000, which "HansImperator" raised to 255,000 after some thought.

Ribeiro quickly mucked his cards and the pot was shipped to "HansImperator". The table then inquired about the hand of the anonymous player, who claimed to have a bluff and eventually showed A♦J♠J♦6♣ to prove it.

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.
