Set vs Straight Gives Kim Win

Ben Weiss

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Wooseok Kim opened from under the gun to 16,000. Ole Schemion then raised it to 46,000 in early position and it folded back round to Kim, who called.

Kim checked the J♦K♣10♠ flop, before Schemion led out for 36,000. Once again, Kim just called and we went to a turn.

The 7♠ landed, and Kim checked a second street. Schemion this time bet 79,000, which was quickly raised by the South Korean as he shoved all in. Schemion asked 'How much?' but said 'I call' before he got an answer and saw the bad news.

He had flopped top set, while Kim had flopped a straight.

Wooseok Kim: A♦Q♠
Ole Schemion: K♦K♥

The river was a 4♦, scooping Kim a huge pot and leaving Schemion with just 54,000 chips.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Michail Simos shoved for his last 51,000 first-to-act and action folded around to Franco Cozzula in the big blind, who called having Simos covered by only a few thousand in chips.

Michail Simos: K♦10♠
Franco Cozzula: A♣J♦

The 6♥4♥7♦8♦3♣ runout kept Cozzula best with his ace-high and Simos was sent to the payout desk.

PokerStars Ambassador Ramon Colillas defended his big blind against the early position open of Andrei Toma.

Things quickly heated up on the 4♣5♣5♠ flop. Toma continued with a bet of 8,000, Colillas check-raised to 38,000 before Toma four-bet to 84,000. The action didn't deter Colillas, who moved all in for 221,000.

Toma agonized over the decision for three minutes before open folding 10♥10♠ for an overpair, as Colillas scooped the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action folded to Moonho Seo, who got his last 63,000 chips in from the button. Robin Sommer called from the big blind with the covering stack, and the cards were tabled.

Moonho Seo: A♣2♥
Robin Sommer: A♦9♥

The J♣8♠3♠ flop brought no help for Seo, but the 4♣ turn gave him a gutshot straight draw. It came in on the 5♦ river, and he sat back down to collect his newly acquired chips.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Fintan Hand opened the action, betting 12,000 in early position. It folded round to Istvan Pilhofer in late position, who shoved.

Hand quickly called and covered Pilhofer, who was at risk of busting.

Istvan Pilhofer: 8♥8♦
Fintan Hand: A♥Q♥

The flop came 9♦3♠6♣, leaving the PokerStars Ambassador needing to hit an ace or a queen to win the hand.

Neither came on the turn, with the J♠ landing.

Pilhofer's double up was confirmed on the 4♣ river, chipping him up while Hand was left with just below average stack.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Domenico Casalnuovo had opened from early position and been called by Nicola Karl in the cutoff.

On a flop of 6♥10♥8♣ Casalnuovo check-called a bet of 17,000 from his opponent.

The turn brought the 8♥ and Casalnuovo again check-called a bet of 30,000 from Karl.

The river brought the A♠ and Casalnuovo checked. Karl moved all in and Casalnuovo quickly called to put himself at risk.

Domenico Casalnuovo: K♥J♠
Nicola Karl: 8♠6♠

Casalnuovo had made the call with just king-high and Karl's full house took the pot, pushing him to a stack of 750,000. Casalnuovo was eliminated.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Pedro Pereira Fonseca was already all in and at risk for around 50,000 from middle position against Philippe Riminucci, who was in the big blind.

Pedro Pereira Fonseca: K♠8♥
Philippe Riminucci: A♣10♥

The K♣10♦J♠4♦9♦ runout improved Fonseca to a pair of kings, which was enough for the double up against Riminucci.

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The board was dealt up until the turn and read 6♥6♦4♥3♠ when Lukas Hafner got his stack of 190,000 chips in the middle against Dominik Ostrowski, who covered him. With 175,000 chips already in the pot beforehand, a huge pot of twice the average stack had been created.

Lukas Hafner: Q♦7♦
Dominik Ostrowski: A♥A♦

Hafner needed to hit his straight draw to stay alive in the tournament, but the A♠ river gave Ostrowski a full house instead. It meant the end of Hafner's Main Event adventure, seeing him strand on the second level of Day 2.
