Brian Delaney
Brian Delaney

Brian Delaney raised to 50,000 on the button and was three-bet to 235,000 by Razvan Belea in the big blind. Delaney called and a big pot was brewing.

On the {j-Hearts} turn, Belea now checked and after using a time bank to think, Delaney bet 625,000, which after a bit of thought himself, Belea folded to.

Held Remains the Hero; Gets a Bluff Through

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Konstantin Held
Konstantin Held

Joining the action on the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, Mehdi Chaoui in the big blind checked and subsequently check-raised a bet of Konstantin Held from 35,000 to 115,000. Held came along to the {j-Clubs} turn on which Chaoui checked.

Held now made it 210,000 to go and Chaoui called.

That led them to the {7-Clubs} river on which Chaoui quickly checked once more. Held fired a bet of 1,000,000 and Chaoui instantly tilted out of his chair to study the board and his opponent closer while tossing all his time bank extentions towards the middle of the table.

"What the fuck can I do ... you give me the price to fold this hand," Chaoui exclaimed before adding a "bro?!"

Held showed no reaction at all and focused towards the middle of the table. Two time bank extensions vanished before Chaoui folded and he was shown the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

"Enough with the small ball poker, that's how you play king queen," Niklas Astedt joked.

Saar Wilf
Saar Wilf

Following a raise in the cutoff by Peter Jorgne, Saar Wilf three-bet to 150,000 in the big blind. Jorgne then moved all in for 550,000 effective and Wilf called.

Saar Wilf: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Peter Jorgne: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

Wilf was on the right end of the classic cooler with hopes of a double-up. After the {3-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Clubs} board brought no king for Jorgne, Wilf had secured that double-up.

Alilovic Ousted by Chaoui

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Miroslav Alilovic
Miroslav Alilovic

Down to around 350,000 in chips, Miroslav Alilovic ended up all-in and at risk via three-bet jam and he was called by Mehdi Chaoui.

Miroslav Alilovic: {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Mehdi Chaoui: {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The {9-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and {k-Spades} turn brought no help to Alilovic, who had lost a portion of his outs were gone with the inferior spade. Nothing changed with the {9-Spades} river as Chaoui's superior flush ended the run of Alilovic.

Sven Stok: {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The board ran out {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Stok also claimed the remainder of Ropert's stack.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Denzel Spekman was moved to balance the shrinking field and raised the button for Brian Delaney to call out of the big blind. On the {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} flop, Delaney check-raised from 40,000 to 140,000 and Spekman folded.

Denzel Spekman: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
