Delgado Leaves Klein Stunned

Calum Grant

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a single raised pot, with the K♦6♥4♦ flop on show, fireworks began to ignite.

Daniel Rezeai checked in the small blind and Vicente Delgado bet 12,000 from under the gun. Morten Klein made it 33,000, which Rezaei called. Delgado three-bet to 120,000 and Klein shoved for a little bit more. Rezaei folded and Delgado put in the extra chips needed to put Klein at risk.

Morten Klein: K♣6♣ All in
Vicente Delgado: 4♠4♥

"You have fours?" said Klein, who had been running badly against the Spanaird. He harped on how Delgado had made strong hands on him all day.

Delgado apologized but Klein told him to not be sorry.

Klein still had full house outs but the 8♥ turn was not one of the them. The 4♣ river gave Delgado quad fours and Klein could only shake his head in disbelief as he left the table.

Zhewen Hu was all in from the button for his last 180,000 as Daniel Rezaei put him at risk in middle position.

Zhewen Hu: 10♣10♠ All in
Daniel Rezaei: Q♣Q♥

Rezaei had woken up with queens to leave Hu at risk of busting for a second time today. The 2♥J♣3♣4♦Q♦ board provided no help to Hu and he headed off to the rail again.

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika opened from the hijack and called when Aleksejs Ponakovs made it 27,000 from the button.

Boika jammed for around 70,000 on the 10♠9♣7♣ flop and was snap-called.

Aliaksei Boika: K♦Q♣ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: 9♥9♦

Boika was drawing to four outs, but his jack never arrived on the 5♥ turn or 10♦ river, and he was eliminated.

[Removed:608] showed A♣4♣ for just a pair of fours and Delgado turned over K♦9♦ for a pair of nines to win the massive pot and send [Removed:608] to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 8,000 from the hijack. Santhosh Suvarna and Aliaksei Boika called from the button and big blind.

Action checked to Suvarna on the J♣10♣3♦ flop and he bet 16,000. Only Ponakovs called. The K♣ then checked through to the 9♣ river, putting four to a straight flush on the board.

Ponakovs checked and Suvarna fired out 33,000.

Ponakovs used four time banks, while he mulled over his options. He ultimately shook his head and tossed his cards into the muck and the pot went to Suvarna.

Biao Ding probed Suvarna to see if he had the Q♣ but Suvarna declined to give a clear answer.
