Berda Flies the Nest

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Tomer Berda
Tomer Berda

Kevin Vandersmissen opened to 16,000 and Morten Mortensen reraised to 39,500. But now Tomer Berda cold four-bet from the button - a total bet of 100,000, with around 75,000 behind.

Vandersmissen folded but Mortensen thought about it for a while. Eventually he announced all in, Berda naturally called all in, and the cards were on their backs, Vandersmissen by the by announcing that he had folded {a-}{q-}.

Mortensen: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Berda: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Board: {q-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}

With that, the Israeli WSOP bracelet winner was busto, and Mortensen was up to 745,000.

The Pwiese is Right

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Andreas Wiese (who had lost a lot of chips at the start of this level) has doubled up after getting it all-in preflop with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} against Hans Erlandsson's {j-}{j-} preflop and surviving on a {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{q-}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} board.

Erlandsson has been crippled and only has about 80,000 left.

Mitlyansky Misses Out

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Andrey Mitlyansky, crippled from earlier, has been knocked out. All-in for his last 14,000 against Thomas Kunter and Iulian Ruxandescu who then checked down the {9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades} board.

Mitlyansky showed {7-}{5-} but no good against Mitlyansky's {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts} after Ruxandescu flashed {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Wim Bossed Around By Wiese

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

The very last hand before the break saw Wim Boss take on Andreas Wiese in a battle of the blinds.

Wiese raised from the small blind to 15,000 and Bos called. The dealer put out the {8-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop and it was met with a 21,000 bet from Wiese and a call from Bos. The {2-Clubs} on the turn was greeted with a check from Wiese, a bet of 30,000 from Bos and a call from Wiese.

The {3-Hearts} on the river saw both players check, though Bos was contemplating making a bet but failed to pull the trigger and just checked behind.

Wiese:{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Bos:{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}

It appears Bos' decision not to bet was the right one as it possibly saved him a lot of chips

Murphy's Law

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Giacomo Maisto, yesterday. has more chips today.
Giacomo Maisto, yesterday. has more chips today.

Giacomo Maisto raised to 13,500 UTG+1 and Leonid Yezik called in the cutoff before Dennis Murphy re-popped to 42,000 from the big blind. Maisto called, Yezik folded, and they went heads up to the flop.

The flop came down {5-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Murphy bet out 57,000. Maisto spent a long time stacking up the call in red T1,000 chips before pushing it across the line.

At this point our attention was called over to a high-volume double up at another table - but a deafening cry of, "YESSS!!!" soon drew us back to Maisto's table. The turn and river had come down the {4-Clubs} and {q-Clubs} respectively, and Maisto was all in - by the sounds of it (evidence: Murphy giggling and announcing, "Instacall!") Murphy had put him in on the river and Maisto had snapped for 320,500.

Murphy: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} for a pair of jacks
Maisto: {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for runner-runner nuts

Maisto is now now up to a very hefty 860,000, Murphy down to a below-average 205,000.
