Gulseven Doubles With Flush

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

There was 5,100 in the middle from preflop action on a board of {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Action was heads up between a player in middle position and Erdal Gulseven, who was in the cutoff. The middle-position player bet 2,500 and received a call from Gulseven.

The turn came {9-Spades} and the middle-position player checked. Gulseven quickly threw out a bet of 11,600 and told his opponent he had around 10,000 or a bit less behind when the player looked to see his remaining chips. The middle-position player then called.

The river fell {9-Diamonds} and the middle-position player checked. Gulseven shoved his remaining chips into the middle and the dealer counted them to total 7,300. His opponent called after a few moments of thought and hands were tabled.

Erdal Gulseven: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}
Middle Position: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Gulseven's flush was good over his opponent's aces up with a king kicker and earned him a double, bringing him just shy of 50,000 in doing so.

Stanislav Koleno
Stanislav Koleno

A raising war broke out and Yi Ye had clicked to 11,000 already when Stanislav Koleno then moved all in for 29,700. Ye reluctantly called and the cards were turned over.

Stanislav Koleno: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Yi Ye: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The boad came {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Ye was reduced to a mere 3,500.

Krakow Sends Beresford To the Rail

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

There was over 30,000 in the middle on a board reading {5-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Conor Beresford shoved all in for 21,100 from the big blind. His opponent, Matan Krakow, thought for about a minute from early position before deciding to make the call.

Conor Beresford: {k-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Matan Krakow: {7-Spades}{9-Spades}

Beresford's two pair of nines and threes was no good to the rivered trips of Krakow, sending him to the rail as the pot was sent Krakow's way.

After the hand, Krakow filled in the remaining details, saying that he had opened from early position and received a call from the player on the button before Beresford defended his big blind. He made a continuation-bet of 2,000, which the player on the button called, and Beresford check-raised to 5,100. Only Krakow called.

Beresford fired another 9,000 on the turn and Krakow called, and then called the remaining amount on the river to win the pot.

Flush Over Flush Double for Burns

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante
Simon Burns
Simon Burns

Simon Burns just sat down and opened in the first hand to get two callers including Charles La Boissonniere on the button and the big blind. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and the big blind check-folded to a bet of 1,500 by Burns, and a raise to 5,000 by La Boissonniere. Burns called and check-jammed into a bet of 7,500 on the {9-Spades} turn to pick up a call.

Simon Burns: {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Charles La Boissonniere: {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The river was a meaningless {4-Spades} and Burns scored a full double on the very first hand.

Im Doubles, Gets Back To Starting Stack

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

A player in early position opened to 1,200 and received a call from Youngshin Im, who was in the cutoff. The big blind also came along and the three went to a flop of {2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, where the big blind checked. The original raiser made a continuation-bet of 2,600, which Im called before the big blind folded.

With action heads up, the turn came {2-Diamonds}. The early-position opener fired a second barrel for 4,500 and Im thought for a bit before putting out a T5,000 chip to call. The river fell {a-Clubs} and the early-position player fired a third barrel for 3,200. Im saw the amount and then raised all in for 6,000. Her opponent thought for a little while and then called the remaining amount to take the hand to showdown.

Youngshin Im: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}
Early Position: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Im's flopped set of eights became a turned full house and she was able to let her opponent do all the betting until she reraised all in on the river, earning her a double and getting her back up to a starting stack in the process.

Unknown Player Among Big Stacks

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

On the tail end of a board {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{7-Hearts}, Pierre Calamusa check-called a bet of 5,000 by big stack "Unknown Player" and was shown the {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a flopped flush to lose a chunk of his profit thus far.

Unknown Player appears to be among the current big stacks near the end of level six.
