Ampelikiotis Cracks Drommel's Kings to Double

Dan O'Hair

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Drommel opened to 125,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 345,000 by Theodoros Ampelikiotis from the hijack. Action folded back to Drommel, who announced he was all in, which was enough to put Ampelikiotis all in for 1,575,000. Ampelikiotis quickly called and hands were revealed.

Theodoros Ampelikiotis: A♠K♣ All in
Daniel Drommel: K♦K♠

The Q♥2♣10♣ flop gave Ampelikiotis outs to Broadway, which came in on the J♣ turn, leaving Drommel drawing to a chop at best.

The 4♦ river kept Ampelikiotis ahead and he doubled through Drommel.

Gerardo Rodriguez Ulloa opened to 120,000 from under the gun before David McConachie three-bet to 325,000 from the cutoff, and Rodriguez Ulloa put in the call.

On the K♠8♦2♣ flop, McConachie continued for 150,000. Rodriguez Ulloa opted to check-raise to 400,000 which McConachie called.

The 2♠ turn checked through to the J♦ river which also checked through. Rodriguez Ulloa revealed A♣J♣ to the surprise of McConachie who stood up from his chair and flicked his cards in frustration as he mucked.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Alan Soucy opened 140,000 in the hijack and Andrew Chen defended the big blind.

When the 10♣7♣7♦ flop hit the felt, Chen check-called a continuation bet of 145,000 from Soucy.

The 4♣ fell on the turn, and Chen check-called once again, the time for 275,000.

The dealer rolled the 4♦ on the river, and both players tapped the table. Chen tabled K♦10♦ for tens and sevens, and Soucy mucked his hand.

Gustavo Morales opened to 120,000 from under the gun and just behind him, Alexandre Reard three-bet to 330,000. Action folded back around to Morales, who paused before making it 700,000 to go.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Hsu Piying opened to 100,000 from under the gun before Johannes Verhagen three-bet to 280,000 next to act. In the cutoff, Joshua Stewart four-bet jammed for 1,395,000. Piying tanked for a couple of minutes as he contemplated his decision before he finally let it go while Verhagen snap-called.

Joshua Stewart: A♦K♥
Johannes Verhagen: K♠K♣

It was a cooler situation with Verhagen having the best of it and it stayed that way on the 8♠6♥4♥9♠9♥ runout. Stewart failed to pair his ace as he hit the exit in an unavoidable confrontation.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Robin Ylitalo shoved for his last 205,000 first-to-act and was called by Yurii Zabrodotskyi on the button to be put at risk.

Robin Ylitalo: A♦10♣ All in
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: A♠7♠

The K♦3♠8♠ flop gave Ylitalo a sweat as Zabrodotskyi had picked up a flush draw, but the 3♦ turn and 2♥ river bricked out for Zabrodotskyi to award Ylitalo a much-needed double up.

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jorge Ramella opened the button to 125,000 before Miika Töyräs jammed for 725,000 from the big blind. Ramella had a close decision for around half of his remaining stack but he decided to put in the call.

Miika Töyräs: A♥Q♦ All in
Jorge Ramella: K♦J♥

Toyras was a small favorite to double and he stayed ahead on the A♦5♦3♦, which gave him top pair but Ramella had the nut flush draw. There was no waiting as the turn brought the 10♦ and Toyras was drawing dead to the 7♠ river as he hit the rail.
