Kitty Kuo

Mikita Badziakouski opened to 700 from under the gun and Krasimir Yankov three-bet to 2,200 a couple of seats over. Kitty Kuo flat-called on the button and Badziakouski stepped asided.

The dealer fanned the flop of {4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} and both players checked to the {8-Diamonds} on the turn. Yankov tossed in a bet of 3,500 only to have Kuo raise to 10,500. Yankov used a time bank before making the call.

On the {7-Hearts} river, Yankov checked this time and Kuo instantly checked as well. Yankov showed {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a pair of fours but Kuo had one better with {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for a pair of fives.

Schillhabel Pushes His Chips Around

Level 3 : 100/300, 300 ante
Stefan Schillhabel
Stefan Schillhabel

Just moments after sitting down, Stefan Schillhabel found himself playing a large pot right away. A completed board of {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} was spread across the table with around 21,000 in the middle already.

Stephane Abehassera led out with a bet of 11,000 and Schillhabel slid out a raise, enough to cover the remaining 16,000 chips that Abehassera had behind. After thinking for a minute, Abehassera ditched his cards to the muck and Schillhabel raked in the pot.
