Brouk Fills Up to Bust Kolev

David Salituro

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

Boris Kolev raised to 3,000 under the gun and Tomi Brouk called in the hijack, as did button Alejandro Lococo and big blind Ahmed Karrim.

Kolev continued for 4,000 on the A♥Q♦J♦ flop and Brouk called. Lococo folded, while Karrim also called to create a three-way pot to the Q♣ turn.

Action then checked to Brouk who bet 17,000. Only Kolev called to see the 5♠ river, where Brouk moved all in. Kolev burned through multiple time banks until he called for his last 23,000.

"I got it," Brouk said, showing A♦Q♥ for a full house. Kolev tossed A♣10♥ into the muck as he made an early exit.

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

With two players seeingn a board of A♠J♦10♥ Jack Kiriakus bet 5,000 from under the gun and Maria Konnikova raised to 15,000 from the button. Kiriakus made the call.

On the 2♠ turn Kiriakkus checked and Konnikova shoved for 29,500. Kiriakus called with a covering stack to put Konnikova at risk.

Maria Konnikova: A♥10♣ All in
Jack Kiriakus: K♠Q♠

Konnikova had aces up but was in bad shape against Kiriakus' nut straight. No full house materialized for Konnikova on the 7♦ river and she made her exit from the tournament area while Kiriakus took the pot.

Heads-up on a flop of 8♥7♠4♥, Brian Altman bet 8,000 from middle position and Antoine Labat called on the button.

Altman checked the K♥ turn and Labat bet 13,000. Altman called to see the 6♠ river, where Labat bet 21,500, leaving himself just 1,500 behind.

Altman quickly called and Labat showed A♣K♠ for top pair. Altman, though, had rivered two pair with K♣6♣ and took the pot to leave Labat with just one big blind.

At the same time at another table, Gonzalo Gottlieb got his last 60,000 in the middle from early position and was up against Sergi Miralles in the cutoff.

Gonzalo Gottlieb: 7♦7♠ All in
Sergi Miralles: J♥J♣

Michel Molenaar: A♠J♠ All in
Herbert De Marathaoan: J♦J♣

The 9♣8♠8♦ hit the flop, missing both players. The 10♦ fell on the turn, giving Molenaar some extra outs to chop, but the 3♠ river was a brick as he stood up from his seat.
