Tsugunari Toma: A♠J♦

Toma Busts Bujtas

Calum Grant

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tsugunari Toma opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Laszlo Bujtas defended his big blind.

Bujtas check-called for the 33,000 he had behind after Toma put in a stack of T-25,000 chips into the middle on the 10♣4♠3♦ flop.

Laszlo Bujtas: 6♥3♥
Tsugunari Toma: A♣K♦

Bujtas was ahead with a pair of threes and remained best after the J♣ turn. However, he was then sent to rail after Toma paired up on the A♠ river.

Adamszki Runs into Top Set

Calum Grant

Level 9 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki opened to 6,000 from early position and Kayhan Mokri defended his big blind.

Mokri check-called bets of 6,000 and 18,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A♣8♠3♥Q♦4♦. Mokri checked once more and Adamszki jammed for around 45,000. Mokri snap-called.

Adamszki could only show air as he tabled his Jx10x while Mokri had the goods with his slow-played A♦A♥.

"Tricky trickster," whispered Astedt to Mokri.

After the hand played out, Steve O'Dwyer joined the table.

Tsugunari Toma raised to 6,500 in the hijack, Teun Mulder three-bet to 18,000 in the cutoff, and Toma called.

The flop came Q♠9♥7♠ and Mulder bet 12,000. Toma called and the 8♠ fell on the turn.

Mulder then bet 23,000 before Toma moved all in. Mulder snap-called for his last 95,000 and turned over 8♣8♦ for a set. Toma had A♣7♣ and was already drawing dead before the 5♥ on the river sealed Mulder's double up.

Robbie Toan: J♦7♦
Tsugunari Toma: A♠8♦

The flop came K♦4♣4♠, while the A♥ turn gave Toma two pair and left Toan already drawing dead heading to the J♥ river and on his way to the exit.

Plausinaitis Downs Kashiwabara

Calum Grant

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Masato Kashiwabara was first to act and moved all in for 31,500. Action folded to Paulius Plausinaitis in the big blind and he called after peeking at his cards.

Masato Kashiwabara: Q♠J♥
Paulius Plausinaitis: A♠8♠

Kashiwabara was behind and had fewer outs after the K♠2♠5♣ flop. The A♣ turn left him drawing to Broadway, but the 7♥ river confirmed his departure instead.

Toan Takes Out Dimov

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Robbie Toan raised to 4,000 under the gun, then called when Ognyan Dimov moved all in for 40,000 on the button.

Ognyan Dimov: A♦8♦
Robbie Toan: 10♠10♥

Dimov was looking for an ace to stay alive but couldn't find any help on the 6♦6♥5♠2♠3♠ board as he was sent to the rail.

A few hands earlier, Toan and Tsugunari Toma tangled in a big pot that saw Toma bet 10,000 on a flop of 9♦J♠Q♠. Toan called on the button and the turn was the 5♥.

Toma checked to Toan who bet 17,000. Toma then moved all in and Toan, with around 140,000 remaining, folded.

With around 30,000 in the pot on a flop of 8♣9♦Q♠, Masato Kashiwabara bet 7,000 from the cutoff and Paulius Plausinaitis called under the gun.

The turn was the 10♣ and Kashiwabara bet 20,000. Plausinaitis then moved all in for 45,500 and Kashiwabara called with Q♦Q♥ for top set.

Plausinaitis, though, had A♣J♥ for a straight and held on through the 6♦ river to double up.9

Mulder Shoves on Mokri

David Salituro

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Teun Mulder raised to 4,500 in the cutoff and Paulius Plausinaitis called in the cutoff, as did Kayhan Mokri in the big blind.

The flop came 7♥2♠10♦ and action checked to Plausinaitis who bet 4,500. Both opponents called and the 7♣ fell on the turn.

Mokri then led out for 6,000 and Mulder raised to 19,000. Plausinaitis folded, but Mokri called to see the 2♦ river. Mulder then moved all in for 60,000.

Mokri tanked for a moment before giving up his cards.
