Turmezey Doesn't Buy the Check-Raise

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Peter Turmezey opened to 2,600 in the cutoff and received calls from both Clement Richez on the button as well as the player in the small blind. The flop came {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} and the small blind checked. Turmezey made a continuation-bet of 3,500 and Richez immediately folded. The small blind check-raised to 10,000 and Turmezey didn't take long to call.

The turn was {k-Hearts} and the small blind checked. Turmezey took back the initiative and announced a bet of 9,500. It was all he would need to get a fold and take down the pot.

Action folded around to Jukka Paloniemi in the small blind and he put out a stack of T5,000 chips. Jasper Meijer van Putten was in the big blind and called off his remaining 6,500.

Jukka Paloniemi: {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, giving Paloniemi a pair of eights on the flop that would prove to be best, sending the Dutch native to the rail for his second and final time of the tournament.

Oghabian Coolered by Calamusa

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Milad Oghabian got the last of his chips in from early position after seeing a flop of {6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} in a four-handed pot. He received action from Pierre Calamusa, who was in the hijack.

Milad Oghabian: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}
Pierre Calamusa: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Oghabian's flopped two pair were in trouble against Calamusa's set, needing to hit running sixes to improve to quads or to see the board bring a straight to force a chop. The turn {k-Spades} dashed all the hopes of either happening and the river {j-Hearts} completed the runout to result in Oghabian's elimination from the tournament.

"I had queen-ten!" said Bhavin Khatri to Calamusa after check-folding it from the small blind.

Calamusa engaged, saying that Khatri should have committed his chips.

"I would have won!" said Khatri. Calamusa laughed, conveying that he was aware of such facts as he stacked his newly-acquired chips.

Baumann Shoves on Lakhdari

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Picking up the action on the flop with the board reading {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}, there was already nearly 40,000 in the middle. Omar Lakhdari led out with a bet of 22,000 from the small blind and Gaelle Baumann shoved all in for 61,700 in the hijack.

Lakhdari asked for a count and went into the tank for a minute but eventually decided to send his cards to the muck. It sounded like he asked Baumann in French if she was bluffing but Baumann just laughed.

Mustafov Hits Six Figures

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Masato Yokosawa opened to 3,200 under the gun and action made its way around to Fahredin Mustafov, who defended his big blind.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Mustafov checked. Yokosawa made a continuation-bet of 2,600 and Mustafov thought for a chunk of his allotted shot clock before putting in a check-raise to 9,000. Yokosawa took about 10 seconds to consider his decision and then sent his cards to the muck, resulting in the pot being sent Mustafov's way.

After winning the pot, Mustafov finds himself with a stack of 100,000, slightly above the average stack on the last level of the night.

Defending Champ Doubles

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Defending champion Henrik Hecklen was recently seen making his way into the tournament area and had appeared to have lost nearly half his stack before a recent hand where he three-bet all in for 28,400 in the big blind over a hijack open to 4,000 from Daniel Habib. Habib called and the two were off to the races.

Henrik Hecklen: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Daniel Habib: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}

The flop came {9-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} to give Habib four more outs at a gutshot straight draw and it was followed by the turn coming {6-Spades}, bringing even more outs to both a flush as well as a counterfeited two pair. However, Hecklen faded it all when the river {10-Diamonds} hit the felt to earn him the double, leaving Habib shaking his head in amazement at the runout.

"That's a classic case of having too many outs on the turn," said another player as the dealer confirmed Hecklen's stack and Habib paid sent the chips Hecklen's way.
