Andrew Knowles
Andrew Knowles
Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action folded to Mauricio Salazar Sanchez in the cutoff who opened for 3,500 and only Kayhan Mokri made the call from the big blind.

On the flop of K♥10♠2♥, Mokri check-called a bet of 3,500 from Salazar Sanchez. The A♠ hit the turn and Mokri checked a second time. Salazar Sanchez sized to 10,000, and without much thought, Mokri let his cards go.

Magnus Carlsen
Magnus Carlsen

World chess champion Magnus Carlsen is proving to be a force to be reckoned with on the poker felt and more recently added chips after making a tough river call.

In a heads-up pot between [Removed:428] in the hijack and Carlsen in the cutoff, both players checked on the board of K♦A♠J♥3♠. The 6♣ river completed the board and Maloku fired a bet of 6,500.

Carlsen went deep into the tank for several minutes and sat perfectly still behind a pair of dark sunglasses. Eventually, Carlsen called. Maloku showed Kx9x for a pair of kings, but he was out-kicked by Carlsen's K♠Q♥ for the chess pro to take the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action folded to Hala Karam in the cutoff who moved all in for 32,000. Romain Lewis was next to act on the button and re-jammed for close to 160,000. The blinds quickly folded and the cards were on their backs.

Hala Karam: A♥K♠
Romain Lewis: A♦Q♣

Karam got it in as good as she could hope for, and when the board ran out K♦8♠5♣Q♦K♥, the ace-king for Karam held up to score a full double up off Lewis.
