De Sousa Spikes a Nine to Double

Tyler Foran

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Azamat Tulepbergenov raised 5,500 in the hijack before Kim De Sousa jammed 35,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Tulepbergenov and he made the call.

Kim De Sousa: A♥9♥
Azamat Tulepbergenov: A♦J♥

De Sousa was dominated but the K♦Q♠9♦ flop gave him the lead with a pair of nines. The 7♠ turn and 7♦ river meant he could remain seated.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a Q♦10♣9♥ flop, Ronald Steinmetz and Henrik Veldhoem got their chips into the middle and both players flipped over premium pairs in the following showdown.

Ronald Steinmetz: K♦K♠
Henrik Veldhoem: A♣A♠

The aces held as neither the 7♣ turn nor the 4♦ river helped Steinmetz.

"You waste all your run-good on Day one?!" Parker Talbot joked from the other side of the table.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ankit Ahuja raised from early position and was called by Johannes Verhagen from middle position. Marcelo Manfredini, with 73,000, three-bet to 15,000 from the cutoff. Ahuja jammed as the big stack and Verhagen got out of the way while Manfredini called.

Marcelo Manfredini: Q♣Q♦
Ankit Ahuja: A♠5♠

Manfredini avoided an ace on the J♣10♣3♣9♠9♥ runout and doubled out.

"I should have called," lamented Verhagen who said he folded pocket nines.

"Why did you do that?" he asked Ahuja. "This is not how you preserve a stack," Verhagen continued to his opponent who has more than $2.5 million in tournament earnings.
