Olszewski Need Not Fear

Frank Visser

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Anatoly Korochenskiy raised to 2,400 from under the gun before the action folded to Hubert Olszewski in the big blind, who put in a three-bet to 10,000.

Korochenskiy then jammed, covering his opponent's 34,200 stack. Olszewski quickly tossed in a call and the cards were revealed.

Hubert Olszewski: K♦K♣
Anatoly Korochenskiy: J♥J♦

"Aces?", Olszewski had asked before the showdown. However, his pocket kings were in premium shape to double him up, and they did just so when he ended up with a set on the 9♣6♦K♥4♦7♠ runout.

Korochenskiy, meanwhile, was left with 20 big blinds to try and spin up.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a three-way flop of Q♦8♠10♠ action was checked to Albert Gil who fired out a bet of 1,500. Samuel Bifarella called, before Anastasia Papadopoulou check-raised to 6,000. Gil called and Bifarella folded.

On the 7♥ turn Papadopoulou continued with her aggression, putting out a bet of 12,000. Gil pondered his options for a moment but mucked his hand.

After Bifarella inquired whether she had a straight, Papadopoulou revealed J♠9♠ for the flopped straight and raked in the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Julian Selinger called from the small blind and Jyrki Lampinen checked his option from the big blind.

Lampinen called a 1,200 bet from Selinger on the 2♦3♥9♠ flop and then Selinger checked on the 5♦ turn. Lampinen bet 2,500 and Selinger check-raised to 8,000 — sending Lampinen deep into the tank.

Lampinen eventually decided to let his hand go and Selinger offered to show one of his hole cards. Lampinen turned over the 3♦ and Selinger said, "No set," as he collected the pot.

On a completed board of Q♥9♣7♦5♣J♣, Dan Larsen tanked for about 30 seconds before deciding to bet 17,500 into the pot of about 18,000.

Emmanouil Chrysovergis was the only opponent still in the hand, and he quickly dropped a chip across the line to signal a call. Larsen rolled over 10♣6♣ for a flush on the river and Chrysovergis mucked his hand.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Renato Ardelean and Adrian Andritz were involved in a preflop raising war, which ultimately resulted in Ardelean shoving all in as the table chip leader, and Andritz calling it off for 76,000 chips.

Adrian Andritz: A♠A♣
Renato Ardelean: A♦J♥

Ardelean was left drawing dead on the 8♠4♥9♣5♠ turn, leaving the 9♠ river to be meaningless. He surrendered a large portion of his big stack to Andritz but still sat on a six-figure stack.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Emile Baroudi and Miguel Abad were battling heads up over a 6,800-chip pot. Baroudi checked from the big blind on the 7♥9♠6♣A♣ board before Abad made a bet of 3,000.

Baroudi clicked it back to 6,000 and Abad called. The 7♣ river then completed the board and Baroudi bet another 6,000.

It was Abad's turn to raise as he put in 24,000, just enough to cover his opponent's stack. A snap-call followed and Abad showed Baroudi K♣4♣ for a rivered flush.

Baroudi showed his 10♦8♦ in frustration, showing that his flopped straight got cracked. After the stacks were counted, he left the tournament area while Abad virtually doubled up.

Manoe Betrix opened 2,500 under the gun and only Fintan Hand came along in the big blind.
