Kitajima Cracks Kings to Double Through Rezaei

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Hayato Kitajima open-jammed a stack of about 55,000 from early position and Daniel Rezaei flat-called in the hijack to get the hand heads-up.

Hayato Kitajima: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Daniel Rezaei: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Kitajima was able to get in front of the Cowboys of Rezaei when the flop came {j-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} to give him two pair. He was able to dodge a ten or king as the board finished out {4-Hearts}{4-Spades} to secure him the double.

Grossmann Doubles Through Brink

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Frederik Brink opened from middle position before Lukasz Grossmann three-bet jammed a stack of 38,500 from late position. Brink called with a bigger stack when the action folded around.

Lukasz Grossmann: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Frederik Brink: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

Both players made pairs on the flop of {9-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} but Grossmann had the best of it and his hand held up for a double as the board finished out {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Grossmann raked in the pot as the player in the big blind, Amaury Mamou-Mani, informed him he would have flopped a monster.

"You just call, I have king-ten suited," said Mamou-Mani, who would've flopped a straight if he played the hand.

Watson Takes from Bedell

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mike Watson opened from middle position and Tom-Aksel Bedell defended his big blind.

Bedell checked on the flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Watson checked back. Bedell checked again on the {9-Clubs} turn and Watson bet 12,000. Bedell called.

Bedell checked a third time on the {10-Spades} river and Watson fired a bet of 21,000. Bedell held up his hand to reveal a nine and then he folded.

"It's an easier decision when you only have one nine in your hand!" commented Leon Sturm from a few seats over.

Lococo Eliminated by Stausholm

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alejandro Lococo
Alejandro Lococo

PokerStars Ambassador Alejandro Lococo got his last 76,500 in preflop in middle position against Martin Stausholm in the cutoff.

Alejandro Lococo: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Martin Stausholm: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, giving Lococo a gutshot straight draw to go along with his pair outs, but the {5-Hearts} on the turn and {a-Clubs} on the river couldn't save Lococo, as he tapped the table, wished his opponent luck, and headed toward the exit.
