Valverde's Full House Sends Kolendowski Packing

Kai Cocklin

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded all the way to Fernando Valverde in the small blind who shoved, and Bartosz Kolendowski called off his stack of around 100,000 from the big blind.

Bartosz Kolendowski: A♣3♠ All in
Fernando Valverde: 10♥9♥

Kolendowski fell behind on the K♥K♣10♦ flop and was drawing to only a chop when Valverde improved to a full house on the 10♣ turn. No help arrived on the 6♦ river which meant Kolendowski's Main Event run had come to an end.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski raised to 12,000 in the hijack and Michael Kil called in the cutoff. Cedric Schwaederle then moved all in for 65,000 in the big blind, Kovalski reshoved, and Kil folded, later saying he had two nines.

Cedric Schwaederle: A♥10♣ All in
Fabiano Kovalski: A♠K♥

The K♦K♠J♦ flop gave Kovalski trip kings and Schwaederle a straight draw, but Schwaederle improved no further on the 8♥ turn or 5♠ river as he was sent to the rail.

"If I call do you jam," Kovalski asked Kil after the hand, and Kil simply shrugged.

At the same time at another table, Niall Murray got his last 160,000 in the middle on a flop of 5♠9♥3♥ against Victor Goncalves. Murray had 10♣9♣ for top pair, but Goncalves had K♠K♦ and held on through the Q♥J♥ turn and river to send Murray to the rail.

Steven Watts jammed all in for 91,000 from middle position and was called by Matteo Orchide in the hijack, who was the chip leader at the table.

Steven Watts: A♥10♠ All in
Matteo Orchide: Q♦Q♣

Watts needed to hit an ace to stay alive, and he did so on the 9♥A♠7♣K♦J♣ runout to double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Following an under-the-gun raise to 12,000, Ram Sanati moved all in from late position for 134,000. Claudio Di Giacomo flat called on the button, then Ilya Anatski moved all in from the small blind for 270,000. Di Giacomo made the call and had both players covered as the cards were turned.

Ram Sanati: 4♣4♥ All in
Ilya Anatski: Q♥Q♠ All in
Claudio Di Giacomo: A♥A♠

The board ran out with blanks and Di Giacomo held with his pocket aces to win the pot, eliminating two players from the tournament and bringing his stack up over the one million mark.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Arriving on a flop of 9♦6♠6♥, there were 70,000 chips in the middle. Marc Foggin in the small blind and Sebstyen Csoti in the hijack then went all in, with Csoti's stack of 80,000 at risk.

Sebestyen Csoti: J♥9♥ All in
Marc Foggin: K♠K♦

Csoti needed to hit a nine to double up, but the 2♠J♠ runout did not provide it and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Oscar Mas and Ramon Colillas saw the turn on a board of 7♦3♣10♠7♥ when Mas bet 59,000 from the big blind. Colillas called on the button.

The river was the A♦ and Mas bet 165,000. Colillas then moved all in and Mas snap-called for 401,000. Colillas could only show 9♠8♠ for a missed straight draw, while Mas turned over A♠7♠ for a full house to earn the massive double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Alessandro Signoriello raised to 12,000 from middle position and Daniel Myers called from the cutoff. David Coleman also called from the small blind.

The action went stale as all three players checked to showdown on the J♦2♥7♣5♥7♠ board.

"I win, I promise," said Coleman as he rolled over A♥7♥ for trip sevens.

Indeed, Coleman did have the winner as both Signoriello and Myers mucked, which boosted his stack close to the one-million mark.

David Coleman	920,000 60,000	60,000

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was followed from the J♥7♥5♠ flop with Jan Eric Schwippert under the gun. He was up against Haoran Cai on the button.

Schwippert check-raised to 60,000 on the flop after Cai bet 16,000. With the action back on Cai, he opted to use a time bank before making the call.

Schwippert took some time before jamming on the 4♣ turn and Cai made the call.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: K♥K♣ All in
Haoran Cai: J♣10♥

Cai's top pair of jacks were crushed by Schwippert's pocket kings. The Q♥ completed the board and Schwippert secured the double.

Frank Visser

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Asher Conniff, Tom Middleton, and Byron Kaverman were three-way to a flop of J♠6♥4♠. The action checked to Kaverman on the button, who made a bet of 16,000. Conniff, in the big blind, then raised to 50,000 and Middleton quickly folded in the hijack and Kaverman called.

Conniff threw in another 70,000 on the 8♦ turn, getting called by his fellow countryman for a second time.

They went on to check down the 5♥ river. Conniff confidently showed 6♦5♣ and won the pot with his rivered two pair.

"That was a hand," Kaverman concluded, as he surrendered the pot to Conniff.
