Patrick Cole

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up with Matthew Wantman all in from under the gun versus Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind.

Matthew Wantman: A♦Q♦ All in
Steve O'Dwyer: A♥Q♥

The two chopped the blinds and ante after the 8♠3♣A♠5♥6♠ runout.

The very next hand saw Wantman all in again, this time from the big blind versus the covering stack of Ian Bradley who was under the gun.

Matthew Wantman: K♥Q♥ All in
Ian Bradley: A♦Q♦

Wantman was in much worse shape this time around against the hand he just had for himself. The 6♠9♣7♦4♦3♣ runout meant that ace high was good enough to take the pot and send Wantman to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski opened the cutoff to 12,000 and David Coleman defended his big blind.

On the 9♣8♣3♥ flop, Coleman check-called a bet of 9,000 from Kovalski.

The turn was the 5♥ and Coleman contemplated for a while before he opted to lead for 13,000. Kovalski did not take long before he called.

The K♠ came on the river. Coleman decided to bet 161,000 with just 1,000 behind for over two times the size of the pot. Kovalski was dubious but he reluctantly folded.

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Byron Kaverman was all in for 57,000 from the button, Seth Davies put in his last 55,000 in the big blind, and Andrew Chen called in middle position having both players covered.

Seth Davies: A♠J♣ All in
Byron Kaverman: K♥J♥ All in
Andrew Chen: 10♥10♣

The Q♥7♣6♣ flop kept Chen's pair of tens in the lead, while the 10♦ turn gave him a set. The river, though, was the 9♥ and Kaverman hit a straight to scoop the pot, doubling up off Chen and sending Davies to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski opened from early position and was called by Teun Mulder in the big blind.

On the 9♣4♠4♣ flop, Mulder check-raised an 8,000 bet from Kovalski to 38,000, and Kovalski called.

The turn brought the 9♠. Mulder continued for 55,000 and was called.

The J♣ peeled off on the river. Mulder bet again, this time for 77,000, after he used a time bank. Kovalski then used a time bank before he decided to jam, which prompted a snap-fold from Mulder.
