Leal Builds On Massive Stack

Brett Slezak

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After an open to 3,500 and two callers, Andre Leal bumped it up to 15,500 from the big blind and only Mohamed Aissaoui came along from the button.

On the Q♣5♠5♣ flop, Leal continued for 11,000 and Aissaoui called quickly.

The turn brought the K♥ and Leal did not slow down as he bet 23,000 and Aissaoui once again called immediately.

The action quickly checked through on the 3♠ river and Leal tabled A♥K♣ which was good enough to drag a sizeable pot as he added to his growing stack.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded to PokerStars Ambassador Fintan Hand in the small blind, who was playing a sub ten big blind stack. He moved all in for 11,500, and Amanda Kizelevicius in the big blind peered at her cards and made the quick call with the covering stack.

Fintan Hand: 10♦7♦ All in
Amanda Kizelevicius: K♠Q♠

Hand needed some help from the board but was drawing thin after the A♣A♥Q♥ flop gave his opponent two pair aces and queens, and the 8♠ turn left him drawing dead. The K♥ river completed the board and Hand was eliminated.

Calum Grant

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

In the last hand of the previous level, Candido Cappiello opened to 3,000 from middle position before Kevin Muders three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. The action folded back to Cappiello, and the Italian jammed for around 70,000. Muders quickly called off his stack of 45,000 and the cards were tabled.

Kevin Muders: K♥K♣ All in
Candido Cappiello: 7♠7♣

Muders doubled up after the A♦8♥10♠A♥9♥ runout to leave Cappiello short. A few hands later, Cappiello was seen leaving his seat and exiting the tournament room.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Rania Nasreddine raised to 4,500 from middle position. Kevin Muders three-bet to 19,000 out of the big blind and Nasreddine made the call.

On the Q♣7♠6♣ flop, Muders bet 12,000 and was met with a raise to 25,000 by Nasreddine. Muders pondered for a while before he moved all in for the 65,000 Nasreddine had left in her stack. Nasreddine didn't take long to let go of her hand and forfeit the pot to Muders.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Brandon Leetz opened the action from early position with a raise to 4,000. Jack Sinclair was the only caller from the small blind.

Both players checked the Q♥3♣J♣ flop to see the K♣ appear on the turn. Sinclair led out for 8,000 and was quickly raised to 20,000 by Leetz. Sinclair tossed his cards into the muck and Leetz pulled in the pot.
