Karol Bogusz
Karol Bogusz

Karol Bogusz opened to 17,000 from early position and picked up a single caller in Namhyung Kim from the big blind.

On a flop of {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}, Kim check-called the 13,000 continuation bet from Bogusz and the two players headed to the turn.

The turn came the {q-Spades} and Kim checked his option. This time Bogusz fired out 36,000 and Kim called.

The dealer fanned the {3-Clubs} on the river, completing the board and Kim checked for the third time. Bogusz reached for chips once more betting 49,000 and Kim went into the tank. After using a time bank card he threw out a single chip to signify a call and mucked quickly when Bogusz showed {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Daci Doesn't Pull Trigger, Kalev Scoops

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action began on the turn in a heads-up pot with a board showing {2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades}. About 100,000 sat in the middle.

From under the gun, Petar Kalev led for 75,000. Sitting on the button, Arjel Daci, put in the call to head to the final card.

The river brought the {k-Spades}. Kalev decided not to continue, checking it over instead. Daci thought for his full 30 seconds before his hand was ruled a check behind.

Kalev rolled over {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for ace high, and that was the winner. Kalev threw his hands up, seemingly upset at himself for not betting the river, then tapped the table as his opponent raked the pot.
