Lodden Makes a Huge Bluff

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
3-2 suited for Lodden
3-2 suited for Lodden

Johnny Lodden is having a good day so far, collecting chips left and right. We just witnessed a hand between him and Carlos Chadha.

Lodden opened the button for 6,600 and Chadha in the small blind three bet to 16,600. Lodden tossed in the 10,000 extra to see a flop of {K-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts}. Both players checked and so the {J-Spades} on the turn was seen for free. Chadha checked, and called the 21,600 bet Lodden made.

The {Q-Diamonds} completed the board and Chadha now lead out for 16,600. Lodden thought about it for about 20 seconds and moved in. Chadha immediately slid his cards into the muck.

Lodden showed {3-Spades}{2-Spades} after the hand was finished for a complete bluff.

Twice as Much Bryn

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney found a double up over the level and heads into the break peaking at 200,000.

Holding {a-}{q-}, Kenney called off an opponent's four-bet shove with sixes and found an ace on the flop.

He now sits near the high-mark of his swingy day yesterday and with his stack as it stands, one can expect Kenney to play a ton of hands and try to abuse the bubble going forward.

Linde One of Level 15's Last Casualties

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Just before the break, Dylan Linde got his last 15,300 all in preflop and was at risk against Mikael Jean.

Jean: {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Linde: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Linde got it in good, and actually improved to a pair of aces on the {8-Spades}{9-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} flop. However, Jean picked up an open-ended straight draw, which he promptly hit on the {7-Spades} turn. Linde, who was drawing dead, wished the table luck and then took his leave after the {4-Diamonds} was run out on the river.

Szabo Flushed From the Feature Table

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Up at the feature table, Zoltan Szabo just met his demise at the hands of Faraz Jaka.

It appeared Jaka had opened with a raise from the cutoff only to have Szabo three-bet all in for 47,000 from the button. The blinds both folded and Jaka, who had chips to spare, made the called.

Jaka: {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Szabo: {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

Szabo was ahead, and while the {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop didn't hit Jaka directly, it did give him a flush draw. The {10-Diamonds} turn was safe for Szabo, but the {5-Clubs} river was not as it gave Jaka the said flush.

Chattha Loses With Queens to Silver's Kings

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Max Silver opened to 9,000 from early position and action folded to Charles Chattha in the cutoff. The British rounder three bet to 25,000 with about 75,000 behind. When action was back on Silver he pushed all in. Chattha thought about it for a bit before he called.

Charles Chattha: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Max Silver: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}

The board came {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Chattha was eliminated in 102nd place, 7 from the money.

Karlic is Done

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Erik Scheidt just raised to 9,000 and was called by the player in the small blind. On the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop, a continuation bet of the German was called before the two checked through the {A-Diamonds} turn. The opponent then bet the {2-Spades} river for 23,500 and Scheidt folded, still having quite a decent start into the day.

The seat that formerly belonged to Gerald Karlic was now taken by Steve O'Dwyer and Scheidt confirmed that Karlic had busted before the break. Karlic three-bet shoved with {A-}{Q-} out of the big blind only to see Day 1a chip leader Carmelo Crucitti look him up with {A-}{K-} as winning hand.
