Chop It Up

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Talal Shakerchi opened to 25,000 from the button and Sorel Mizzi made it what looked to be around 67,000 but before it could be counted, Shakerchi had moved all in and Mizzi had called.

Shakerchi: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Mizzi: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}

"Dun-dun-DUN!" said Jason Lavallee.

"Ugh, boring..." replied Max Greenwood.

"Okay, Mr-Wants-Everybody-to-Bust." declared Lavallee.

"Hey, I'm folding my way to second," protested Greenwood.

The flop came down {7-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} putting Shakerchi on a freeroll, "I've got 4%," he said delighted. The {A-Spades} turn spelled the end of the excitement as the {9-Hearts} came down on the river.

Duhamel Bubbles the High Roller

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel

The last hand of the level, Jonathan Duhamel opened to 20,000 and Talal Shakerchi flat-called. Sorel Mizzi then squeezed to 63,000 from late position.

Duhamel thought for a moment then moved all in, Shakerchi quickly folded and Mizzi asked for a count. It was around 200,000 more to Mizzi but he made the call after a couple of minutes of calculations.

Duhamel: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Mizzi: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} and all looked good for the Team PokerStars Pro, but the {J-Clubs} on the turn was the worst card in the deck as Mizzi jumped ahead and picked up a flush draw too.

The {10-Diamonds} came on the river and Duhamel was eliminated right on the stroke of the break.

Flopping Boats

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded around to Frederik Jensen on the button and he moved all in for 111,000. The small blind folded and Mark Teltscher thought for about a minute before making the call.

Jensen: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Teltscher: {k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

It was a flip, but any excitement surrounding it disappeared when the flop came down {q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs}. Jensen flopped a full house and locked up the double when the {8-Hearts} turn left Teltscher drawing dead. The meaningless {5-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and hand-for-hand play continues.

Like Buses...

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

These double ups are coming in threes.

This time it was Antonio Lafosse who doubled up with {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} against Ariel Celestino's {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} on a {Q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board.

Hand-for-hand continues...

Pagano Survives

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Luca Pagano
Luca Pagano

Another all-in showdown and again the short stack survived.

Team PokerStars Pro Luca Pagano was all in with {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} against Philipp Gruissem's {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}.

"Everyone is rooting for me," laughed Gruissem.

The board came {J-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Pagano made quads on the river.

"I tried guys," said Gruissem looking at the remains of his decimated stack, "next time I think you'll all be rooting against me..."

Teltscher Doubles Through Wahlbeck

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

On the turn of a {3-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} board, Team PokerStars Pro Ville Wahlbeck check-raised all in against Mark Teltscher's 48,000 bet. Teltscher instantly called with {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Wahlbeck's {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} was drawing to a queen only.

"I folded a queen," said Mark Radoja.

"Did you really?" asked someone else.

"No." Radoja showing some expert trolling skills.

The river was the {7-Spades} and Teltscher doubled up to half a million.
