Dimov Runs Into Queens

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

Hirokazu Kobayashi raised to 4,500 under the gun before Ole Schemion three-bet to 13,000 in early position. Ognyan Dimov then moved all in for 60,500 in the hijack and Kobayashi gave it some thought before folding. Schemion, though, snap-called.

Ognyan Dimov: JJ
Ole Schemion: QQ

The board ran out 961010Q and Schemion rivered a full house to send Dimov to the rail. Kobayashi admitted he folded pocket nines and would've hit a set on the flop.

"I was going with it," Schemion said.

Tsugunari Toma raised to 3,500 on the button, Niklas Astedt three-bet to 12,000 in the big blind, Toma moved all in for 59,500, and Astedt called.

Tsugunari Toma: AJ
Niklas Astedt: KQ

Toma hit two pair on the 9J9 flop to stay in the lead, while the 7 fell on the turn. The river, though, was the K and Astedt improved to a better two pair to send Toma to the rail.

Kayhan Mokri
Kayhan Mokri

Kayhan Mokri was all in for his last 3,000 from the cutoff and up against big blind Niklas Astedt and Hirokazu Kobayashi under the gun.

Kobayashi bet 4,000 on the 7KJ flop and Astedt folded.

Kayhan Mokri: J8
Hirokazu Kobayashi: K10

Kobayashi was ahead with a pair of kings as the 2 turn gave Mokri more outs with a flush draw. "Oh oh," Mokri said, but he missed the 5 river and was sent to the rail.

Astedt Has a Fatal Misclick

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Niklas Åstedt
Niklas Åstedt

On the second hand of the day, Tsugunari Toma raised to 2,500 under the gun before Niklas Astedt three-bet to 7,000 on the button. "Let's gamble," Toma said as he moved all in.

Astedt accidentally said call and attempted to take his chips back. "I said call, didn't I? I just woke up," he said before being forced to put in the chips.

Niklas Astedt: AJ
Tsugunari Toma: AK

The flop came KQ6 and Toma made top pair, while Astedt picked up straight and flush draws. The turn 6 was no help to Astedt, while the 4 river sent him off to reenter early in the day.
