Kollatos Gets Martini to Muck

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Julien Martini
Julien Martini

Stylianos Kollatos limped in from the middle position and Julien Martini raised to 600 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Kollatos who made the call.

They both checked through the {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop and the {9-Diamonds} on the turn to the {9-Clubs} on the river. Kollatos bet 600 which was called by Martini. Kollatos tabled {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the pair of nines on the board with the ace-kicker and that was enough to get Martini to muck his hand.

Elliott Jams The River

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Mustafa Biz has chipped up early on a table that also includes Espen Uhlen Jorstad and Belmehel Dja Daouadji while Stephen Elliott had taken an early hit.

Elliott then check-raised out of the big blind on the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop and made it 1,800 to go, which his sole remaining opponent Gabriel Akiki called. Elliott bet the {6-Clubs} turn for 3,200 to receive a call and then moved all in for 8,900 on the {3-Clubs} river. Akiki mulled over his decision for a while and folded.

Wheeler Loses Chunk to Zagon

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

The player in the early position had raised to 300 and Vasile Zagon had a chip of 1,000 in front of him in the middle position. Jason Wheeler had four-bet to 4,500 in the big blind. The original raiser folded and Zagon made the call.

They both checked through the {6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop to the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Wheeler bet 4,500 and Zagon made the call.

The river completed the board with the {7-Spades}, Wheeler fired 10,000 over the line and Zagon tanked for a while before making the call. Wheeler tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for Zagon to quickly flip over {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for the pair of queens to scoop the pot.

Martini Doubles Up

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Julien Martini
Julien Martini

Julien Martini had doubled up earlier today and was kind enough to relay what had happened during the 100/100 level:

The middle position had opened, Steven Houghland in the cutoff three-bet to 800 and Martini was the only one to make the call on the button with {k-Spades}{j-Spades}. Houghland held {7-Spades}{5-Spades}.

The flop came {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}, Houghland continued with a bet of 3,000 which Martini called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Martini called another bet of 8,000.

The river completed the board with the {2-Diamonds}, Martini now shoved for 15,000 when Houghland checked and got paid with the nut flush.

Fontaine The Chips Machine

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Jean-René Fontaine
Jean-René Fontaine

Four players invested 500 chips each to see the {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop on which Youssaffi Khalil in the small blind, Giuseppe Carbone in early position and Alexander Orlov all checked. Jean-René Fontaine bet 1,600 and Khalil was the only caller.

After the {5-Diamonds} turn, Khalil checked once more and Fontaine bet 3,300 to force a fold.

"You are a chip machine," Carbone said to Fontaine who dragged in the pot and boosted his stack. Fontaine mentioned in table chat he had ace-king.

Karakousis Flushes Gulseven

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Joining the action on the {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{a-Spades} turn, Erdal Gulseven in the cutoff check-raised from 5,000 to 13,000 with some 2,000 behind and Georgios Karakousis tossed in a single T-500 chip thinking it was an all-in. Once the dealer confirmed it was not, he just called and then snap-called the all-in after the {7-Clubs} river.

Gulseven tabled the {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a straight and Karakousis had {7-Spades}{4-Spades} for the flush.
