Maris' Ducks Keep Him Afloat

Tim Baker

Level 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Martin Zamani raised to 12,000 under the gun and Isidoro Barrena called from the cutoff. Calin Maris shoved for roughly 40,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from Zamani, but a call from Barrena.

Calin Maris: 2♠2♣ All in
Isidoro Barrena: A♣K♥

Maris needed to fade an ace or a king (or running straight or flush cards) to stay alive in the tournament. The runout of J♥7♥3♣7♠7♦ improved Maris to a full house, sevens full of deuces, and moved his stack over 100,000.

Meir Amir: A♦Q♦ All in
Tobias Antelo: A♣K♠

Karl Stroemberg opened to 12,000 from early position and Sofiane Drissi flatted out of the small blind.

The two players went heads up to a flop of 7♥6♦5♣. Drissi decided to lead-jam for 72,000 effective and Stroemberg snapped it off.

Karl Stroemberg: Q♥Q♣ All in
Sofiane Drissi: 10♣7♣

Drissi had flopped top pair but ran into the overpair of Stroemberg. The board ran out 2♦9♥ which was no help to Drissi as he sent chips over in the direction of Stroemberg.

Tobias Kirby-Hogarty: 5♠5♥

With 70,000 in the pot, the flop came 7♣7♥2♠. Carlos Acevedo, who had checked from early position, called a 25,000 bet from Paul Kraemer, who was on the button.

The 3♣ fell on the turn and Acevedo checked once more to Kraemer as he stacked up a bet of 55,000 and pushed it across the line. Acevedo pondered for a moment before deciding to fold his hand.
