Zhuking Up the Chips

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Ville Wahlbeck just took a bit of a hit, he'd opened preflop before Aliaksei Zhuk moved all in for 35,000 behind him. The Team PokerStars Pro quickly made the call with {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Zhuk showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

The board came {6-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Zhuk doubled up saying, "I win three coins all in preflop," before summing it up succinctly, "it's so silly."

Yan Wins Pot From Start of Day Leader Latz

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Jonathan Odogwu opened for 5,500 from early position and was called by Hendrik Latz who had started the day as chip leader but has had a much tougher day today by the looks of it. It folded round to [Removed:17] in the cutoff who three-bet to 11,500. The blinds folded and it was back on Odogwu. “Wow. No respect.” he said and folded.

Latz clarified the bet and made the call to see a flop of {6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

Latz checked and a bet of 12,000 from Yan saw the pot head his way.

Ivey Sent to the Rail in Massive Cooler

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

Earlier today Phil Ivey hit a heater to chip up to 240,000, and it looked like the fan favorite was primed to make a deep run. Astonishingly, he is now on the rail. Not surprisingly, it was the result of a cooler.

Team Online's Marc-Andre Ladouceur, who was seated to Ivey's left, was kind enough to fill is in on some of the details after the fact. According to him, it began when Marcello Marigliano opened under the gun and received two callers. Ivey then called from the cutoff, the big blind came along, and five players took a flop of {q-}{10-}{9-} with two diamonds.

Action checked to Ivey and he promptly bet 15,000. The big blind called, and then Marigliano check-raised to 33,000. Two folds put action back on Ivey and he moved all in for roughly 160,000. The big blind folded and Marigliano made the call.

Ivey tabled {j-}{8-} for a flopped straight, but it was no good as Marigliano had flopped an even bigger straight with {k-}{j-}. Neither the turn nor river provided Ivey with a king to chop, and just like that the man is gone.

Williams All In

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Team PokerStars Pro David Williams opened the button for 4,400. Patryk Slusarek in the big blind made it 13,000 to go and Williams called in position.

Slusarek made a 11,000 continuation bet on {4-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. Without too much hesitation it was Williams who declared all in. Just as easily it was Slusarek who laid his cards down en the pot went to Williams.
