Carrel Loses Some to Madanzhiev

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Charlie Carrel defended the big blind against Stoyan Madanzhiev and check-called a bet worth 900 on the {q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. The {6-Spades} on the turn was checked and Carrel then led the {6-Hearts} river for 6,100. Madanzhiev gave it some thought before raising to 20,000 and a rather surprised Carrel snap-folded to drop below the starting stack.

PokerStars Online Qualifier Klimko Kicked Down by Abbas

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Abbas Moradi had raised to 1,200 from the early position and PokerStars Online Qualifier Matyas Klimko three-bet shoved on his left. The action folded back to Moradi who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed the shove was for 17,800. Moradi took some time and then made the call.

Matyas Klimko: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Abbas Moradi: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

Almost the whole table was cheering for an ace to keep the friendly qualifier in the tournament.

The flop came {3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} which wasn't the ace but it did give Klimko some extra outs to double up as he picked up the wheel draw.

The turn was the {8-Spades} which didn't help Klimko and neither did the {10-Spades} on the river to send the young Hungarian player out of the tournament.

Mulder Takes Some Off Vieth

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Thomas Vieth and Teun Mulder tangled in a three-bet pot in which the latter checked the {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop. Vieth bet 3,500 and Mulder called. Both then checked the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and Mulder bet the {8-Clubs} river for 8,000.

Vieth tapped the table in defeat and sent the cards into the muck. He then remarked "you didn't have the nuts," to which Mulder shook his head.

Panetti Cannot Bluff Plante

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Following a completed board of {j-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, Christophe Panetti in the big blind bet 8,000 into a pot of around 17,000. That sent Santiago Plante into a brief tank and he eventually made the call.

Panetti shrugged and rolled over the {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a bluff, which Plante had beat with the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} to further increase his already impressive stack.
