Kolonias Tries to Bluff

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Alexandros Kolonias opened for a raise in the cutoff and then called a three-bet to 27,000 from Orpen Kisacikoglu in the big blind. Kisacikoglu continued for 18,000 on the {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop, and Kolonias called. Both checked the turn, and the river made a final board of {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Kisacikoglu checked and Kolonias tanked a long time before betting 50,000. Kisacikoglu called after about a minute, and Kolonias tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for ace-high. Kisacikoglu took it with {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Greenwood Doubles Through Kabrhel

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised to 4,800 from the hijack and Sam Greenwood moved all in from the small blind. Kabrhel asked for a count and the shove was for 49,200. "Why so much?" Kabrhel asked and Greenwood took off his earphones, then replied "it is all I have." Kabrhel gave it another half a minute of consideration and called.

Sam Greenwood: {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Martin Kabrhel: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

The flop of {J-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} improved Greenwood, and the {8-Hearts} turn and {9-Clubs} river changed nothing to let the Canadian double up.

Kanit Busts Carrel

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Charlie Carrel
Charlie Carrel

From middle position, Charlie Carrel opened for 5,000. Over on the button, Mustapha Kanit put in a three-bet to 16,500 and Carrel called after both blinds folded.

The flop came {A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Carrel checked. Kanit bet 14,000 and Carrel check-raised to 38,000. Kanit called.

On the {9-Clubs}-turn, Carrel bet 50,000. Kanit called once more.

The {K-Spades} completed the board and Carrel moved all in for about 148,000. Kanit thought about it for a bit before he called.

Carrel showed {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} but would soon part ways with all of his chips as Kanit tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and had him just covered.

That great question 'What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?' has now been answered: Kanit wins.

Addendum: it appears Charlie Carrel bought back in right away.

Kolonias Gets Some Back

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Alexandros Kolonias opened the action with a raise to 5,500 from under the gun and Timothy Adams three-bet to 17,500 on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Kolonias called.

On the {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, Kolonias check-called a continuation bet worth 13,500 by Adams before the duo ended up checking through the {8-Diamonds} turn and {8-Hearts} river. Kolonias flipped over {A-Spades}{5-Spades} and Adams mucked.

Thorel Binks the Turn to Double

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

We heard the dealer counting out an all-in bet from Jean-Noel Thorel, and Jason Wheeler was asking how much he had to pay. The board had run out {j-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Thorel's count was 216,200. He had a pair of eights in front of him for a turned set, and Wheeler's cards were already in the muck; they were reportedly {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Thorel had shoved over a turn bet after calling the flop in a three-bet pot.

Tsoukernik Takes from Thomas

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

In the cutoff, Julian Thomas raised to 6,000 and Leon Tsoukernik called on the button, Vladimir Troyanovskiy came along in the big blind. On the {K-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, Troyanovskiy checked and subsequently folded after a bet of 7,000 by Thomas and a call by Tsoukernik.

On the {3-Diamonds} turn, Thomas then check-called a bet of 7,000 before doing so again on the {6-Clubs} river for the same amount. "I have a king, not so good kicker," Tsoukernik announced and tabled his {K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Thomas mucked and the pot was shipped to Tsoukernik.

Heath Takes from Wheeler; Greenwood Shoves into Thorel

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Hand 1

Ben Heath made it 6,000 to go and Jason Wheeler called in the cutoff, Jean-Noel Thorel called on the button and Sergio Aido came along out of the big blind. On the {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop, Aido checked and Heath continued for 16,000. Both Wheeler and Thorel called, Aido then folded.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn brought no betting action, while Heath then bet the {3-Diamonds} river for 48,000. Only Wheeler called, then mucked as Heath tabled {A-Hearts}{10-Spades} for tens and eights with the ace-kicker.

Hand 2

One hand later, Sam Greenwood opened to 6,000 and Thorel three-bet to 13,000 from the cutoff. The blinds folded and Greenwood called to see a flop of {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Greenwood checked, Thorel bet 30,000 and then folded to a shove for 99,000 in total. "Ninety-nine," Greenwood grinned, flashed his {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines, before having to rack up his stack and moving to another table.

Nick Petrangelo
Nick Petrangelo

Nick Petrangelo raised to 7,000, Anthony Zinno three-bet to 21,000 out of the small blind and only Petrangelo called. On the {Q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, Zinno checked, Petrangelo bet 21,500 and received the call.

After the {3-Diamonds} turn, Zinno checked for the second street in a row and Petrangelo shoved for what looked like 136,200. Zinno called and put his opponent at risk.

Nick Petrangelo: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Anthony Zinno: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}

The {3-Clubs} on the river was a blank and the kicker played a crucial role to eliminate Petrangelo.
