Michalak "Slowrolls" to Win 180,000 Chip All In Pot vs. Lococo

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

Jakub Michalak, Alejandro Lococo, and Kamel Boukhalfa were all battling it out for a pot of around 80,000 when the board read {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Boukhalfa checked from the big blind and Michalak also checked from early position. Lococo, in the cutoff, put out a bet of 22,500, leaving roughly 82,000 behind.

While Boukhalfa quickly folded, Michalak went into the tank for about two-and-a-half minutes before going all in for 49,500 more. Lococo chuckled and raised his eyebrows upon hearing the news and did not call right away. After about 15 seconds, Lococo grabbed the extra 27,000 chips, about a third of his remaining stack, and turned over his cards.

Jakub Michalak: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Alejandro Lococo: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Michalak scooped a huge pot worth just under 200,000 chips.

After the hand, Lococo asked Michalak if he took his time for value. Michalak laughed and said "No, but it feels like a slowroll now."

Lie Nearly Quadruples Up in Peculiar Four-Way Action

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Aylar Lie
Aylar Lie

Arik Filstein was all in for 3,000 and Carlos Chang made it 6,000 from early position. Aylar Lie went all in for her last 13,000 from middle position and Khalid Kafi called from the hijack. Action moved back around to Chang, who called.

With four players, including two all in with a side pot, the flop came {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Chang and Kafi both checked.

The turn brought the {k-Hearts} and Chang bet 12,000. Kafi called, creating a second side pot between the duo.

The river was the {a-Spades} and both players tapped the table and all four players put their cards on their backs.

Arik Filstein: {q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Aylar Lie: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Carlos Chang: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Khalid Kafi: {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Filstein and Lie would split the small main pot with each player making a straight, while Lie would scoop the first side pot and move up to 46,000 after beginning the hand with 13,000.

Chang would win the second side pot worth 24,000 against Kafi, with his two pair bettering Kafi's pair of aces.

Overall, Chang lost 1,000 chips in the hand while Kafi, though enjoying a healthy stack, took a 25,000-chip hit.

Oral Wakes Up with Queens, Nearly Triples Up vs. Ramos

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Milen Stefanov opened from under the gun for 5,000 and Felipe Ramos moved all in for around 90,000 total. Action folded around to Ismet Oral in the big blind, who put in his final 17,500. Stefanov got out of the way.

Ismet Oral: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Felipe Ramos: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

In the most classic of flips, Oral would come out on top as the board ran out {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Including the dead money, Oral saw his stack move from 17,500 to 43,500.

Ramos Goes All In, Forces Gisolfi Fold

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Francesco Gisolfi opened for 5,000 from early position and Felipe Ramos defended his big blind.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Gisolfi continued for 4,000. Ramos called.

The {5-Diamonds} paired the board and Gisolfi fired a second bullet for 11,000. Ramos counted his chips and took his time before moving all in for 51,000 total. Gisolfi had roughly 69,000 behind and sat with his hand on his chin for roughly a minute thinking about his decision before sliding his cards into the muck so hard that they went into the dealer well.

Ramos, who entered the tournament relatively late, is now up to over 80,000 in chips.
