Maltez Doubles, Still Way Down on the Day

Kai Cocklin

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Fabrice Maltez shoved from early position for 11,500 and Yulian Bogdanov called to try and thin down the field.

Fabrice Maltez: A♣A♦ All in
Yulian Bogdanov: A♠8♠

The board brought no sweat for Maltez as his aces held on the 3♣Q♣Q♥K♠4♥ runout. Despite that double-up, Maltez is still way down on the day as he started with almost 150,000.

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

Ivan Stankov opened to 3,000 from early position, and received calls from Kully Sidhu on the button and Stoyan Madanzhiev in the big blind.

On the K♦J♠6♠ flop, action was checked to Stankov, who continued with a bet of 4,000. Only Sidhu called.

The 6♣ turn paired the board, and Stankov check-folded versus a bet of 8,000 from Sidhu.

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

Jinlong Hu was all-in for his last 45,000 with Recep Aydemir making the call to try and send him home.

Jinlong Hu: 10♣10♠ All in
Recep Aydemir: Q♥Q♦

Aydemir looked poised to send Hu to the rail if he could avoid a ten. However, the board ran out 10♦4♠3♠A♦2♥ to give Hu the best hand with a set and he stayed alive in the tournament.

After the hand, another player at the table mentioned that he had folded a ten preflop, so Hu had miraculously found the last ten in the deck.

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

David Kaufmann opened to 3,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 20,000 by Farid Jattin on the button. Action folded back to Kaufmann, who called.

Farid Jattin: A♦9♠ All in
David Kaufmann: A♠10♥

Jattin's ace was dominated, and although a chop seemed possible, Kaufmann sent him to the rail after the K♠Q♦4♣7♥10♣ runout gave Kaufmann a rivered pair of tens.

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

With the news that the Power Path is now a permanent addition to PokerStars, and that players can receive a $0.50 Step 1 Power Path ticket every single day as part of the new PokerStars Rewards program, there's never been a better time to have a look at how the Power Path can reward you and where it can take you.

Both live and online events have featured in the Power Path since its launch last summer, with Special Edition Gold Passes sending lucky players to the NAPT and Las Vegas Grand Prix last December.

This month, we look at the various Passes on offer, including both Gold and Silver Passes for the NAPT festival in Las Vegas, the Women's Winter Festival and the European Poker Tour stop in Prague.
