Salter Continues to Climb

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

The flop read {2-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Martin Hanowski led for 3,000 from the small blind, and Nir Levy called from under the gun. Louis Salter, in early position, raised to 12,000, which prompted a quick fold from Carlos Chadha on the button. Hanowski also folded, but Levy looked like he had a real decision to make. If he called, he would be all-in. After approximately one minute of considering his options, he folded and Salter added to his stack.

Draghici Drags in a Pot

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Lucian Draghici made it 700 to go from early position and Robert Obrtlik called all-in for a solitary 100-denomination chip. Anton Yakuba, in the cutoff, raised to 2,000 and Draghici was the only caller.

Draghici check-called a 1,800 continuation bet on the {Q-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop, with both players checking the {6-Clubs} turn. Draghici bet 3,000 on the {8-Spades} river, and Yakuba folded.

Obrtlik showed {10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and lost to the {K-Clubs}{Q-Spades} of Draghici.

Ace-High vs. King-High Flush

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Kitty Kuo
Kitty Kuo

Kitty Kuo opened for 700 from the cutoff and Gianfranco Ironico defended from the big blind. The {2-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds} flop saw Ironico check-call a bet of 600, and then both players checked the {6-Spades} turn.

When the {9-Spades} river put four spades on the board, Ironico led out for 2,500 and Kuo popped it to 8,000. Ironico made the call and seemed none too happy when Kuo tabled the {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for an ace-high flush.

Ironico then showed the {K-Spades} for a king-high flush before mucking his hand and sending the chips over to Kup.

Stuchlik Not Messing Around

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Former EPT Prague Main Event winner Robert Romanello set the price to see a flop at 700 from middle position and watched on as Krzysztof Stuchlik three-bet to 2,000 from the cutoff. That three-bet was four-bet to 5,800 by Kevin Killeen in the big blind. Romanello folded, but Stuchlik was not done with his hand and he promptly five-bet to 12,500. Killeen mucked and Stuchlik raked in the pot.

Cody Begins the Rebuilding Process

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Team PokerStars Pro has added a few more chips to his stack as he battles back towards the starting stack size.

Andreas Berggren raised to 700 from middle position, Cody re-raised to 2,150 from the small blind, and Berggren called. An ace-high flop reading {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} saw Cody continue for 2,150, and Berggren waste no time in getting out of the way.

"Show Me If I Fold?"

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante
Chris Moneymaker
Chris Moneymaker

With 11,625 in the pot and a board reading {5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, Team PokerStars Pro Chris Moneymaker bet 5,000 from early position and his opponent, Serhii Popovych, called from the hijack.

Moneymaker then checked the {J-Diamonds} river and Popovych bet 6,025.

"Show me if I fold?" Moneymaker asked after pondering the decision. "Show me one if I fold?"

Moneymaker's curiosity got the better of him, and he began to put together calling chips.

"I'll just see them both," he said before making the call. Popovych then rolled over the {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the improbable runner-runner flush.

Moneymaker didn't seem too pleased. "Nice flop call," he tossed out there.
