Keating Collects

Dan O'Hair

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic opened to 7,000 from the hijack and just behind him, Alex Keating three-bet to 20,000 from the cutoff. Jacob Amsellem called cold on the button and Kenjic got out of the way for a heads-up pot.

Keating continued for 40,000 on the 10♦9♠6♥ flop and Amsellem burned up a time extension before landing on a fold.

"Show a king," Amsellem said. "I almost put you all in!"

Keating declined to show and collected the pot.

Miguel Faria Lopes opened 6,000 under the gun, and Maxim Panyak called next to act before Axel Hallay three-bet to 25,000. The action folded back around to Lopes and he put in another raise to 54,000.

Panyak quickly folded, and Hallay moved all-in. Lopes snap-mucked as the dealer pushed the pot toward Hallay.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There was around 39,000 already in the middle in a pot between PokerStars Ambassador Fintan Hand in early position, and Matthias Lipp in the cutoff.

On the 4♠K♥10♠ flop Hand checked to his opponent, who put out a bet of 11,000. Hand produced a check-raise to 25,000, leaving himself only around 31,000 behind.

Lipp moved all in and Hand made the quick call to put himself at risk.

Fintan Hand: 9♠10♠
Matthias Lipp: K♦5♦

Lipp was ahead with a pair of kings but Hand had plenty of outs and didn't have to wait long to hit one, as the 5♠ rolled off on the turn to complete his flush, although Lipp still had outs as he turned two pair.

However the 9♥ completed the runout and gave Hand the double-up.

Ludovic Periaux: K♦Q♥
Maria Konnikova: 9♦7♦

The 2♣ turn and 6♥ river kept Periuax ahead with his pair of queens and he doubled his short stack.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Frederic Popot opened 6,000 in the cutoff, and Fabiano Kovalski defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♥4♣2♥, and Kovalski check-called a bet of 8,000.

The A♣ fell on the turn, and Kovalski checked to Popot as he continued for 16,000. Kovalski took about 10 seconds before making the call.

When the 6♣ completed the board on the river, both players checked. Kovalski tabled 4♦3♦, flopping a pair of fours, but was shown the bad news as Popot tabled A♥Q♦.

On the 2♠6♦4♦ flop Mulders led out with a bet of 7,500 and Marki called.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Carlos Ribeiro opened to 6,500 under the gun and was faced with a three-bet to 21,000 by Santhosh Suvarna.

Action folded back to Ribeiro who promptly moved all in. Suvarna quickly called to put Ribeiro at risk.

Carlos Ribeiro: A♥K♣
Santhosh Suvarna: 10♥10♠

Suvarna was ahead in a flip and remained so after the J♥9♥2♦ flop.

The 7♠ was a brick but the A♠ rolled off on the river to give Ribeiro a pair of aces and bust Suvarna.

Dan O'Hair

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Benny Glaser and Joonhee Yea were heads-up on a Q♥2♥8♣ flop with several thousand already in the middle.

Yea bet 21,000 from the small blind and Benny Glaser raised to 51,000 from the cutoff. Yea announced he was all in and Glaser called all in for 116,000 total.

Benny Glaser: J♥10♥
Joonhee Yea: A♦Q♦

Yea was ahead with his pair of queens, but would need to fade a lot of outs against Glaser's flush and straight draws.

The 6♥ turn immediatley filled Glaser's flush draw and left Yea drawing dead.

An irrelevant 5♥ completed the board and Glaser doubled up.

Benny Glaser	290,000 230,000	230,000

Marki Raises it Away

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Four players played a limped pot and checked to the 10♠6♦4♠9♥ turn. The action checked to Luca Marki in the hijack, and he tossed out a bet of 5,000.

Alexander Tkatschew was in the small blind and put in a check-raise to 15,000. Marki called.

When the 5♥ completed the board on the river, Tkatschew continued for 15,000. Marki stack up a pile of chips and pushed them across the line for a raise to 44,000, and that was enough to drag the pot as Tkatschew mucked his hand.
