Richard Hayes

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

Mikael Guenni opened to 6,000 and was called by Aliaksei Boika on the button, and Diogo Cardoso and Timothy Adams in the blinds.

On the 6♣Q♣4♦ flop action was checked to Guenni, who put out a bet of 11,500, which was sufficient to earn a fold from all three opponents.

As he raked in the pot, Guenni flashed the Q♥ to the table.

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

Scott Margereson opened 5,000 in the hijack before Alexander Ivarsson three-bet 15,000 on the button. Anton Wigg put in a four-bet to 37,500, forcing Margereson to fold before Ivarsson shoved 70,500. Wigg snap-called, sending both players' cards face-up.

Alexander Ivarsson: A♣K♥
Anton Wigg: K♦K♣

The J♠9♠7♠ flop was no help for Ivarsson, and the 4♦ turn was a brick as Ivarsson started to get out of his seat, but the A♠ river gave him the victory.

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

Jerome Finck opened to 6,000 in the hijack and was met with a three-bet to 16,500 by Jesse Lonis in the cutoff.

Action folded back to Finck and he craned his neck to see Lonis' remaining stack, before four-betting to an amount that covered Lonis, about 70,000. Lonis made the quick call to put himself at risk.

Jesse Lonis: K♥K♦
Jerome Finck: A♦Q♠

Lonis was in great shape for the double-up with his pair of kings and remained so after the 3♠J♥2♦ flop.

However the 4♥ turn gave Finck additional outs to the straight draw, and the 5♦ rolled off on the river to give Finck the one-card five-high straight.

Lonis took it well, wishing his tablemates the best of luck as he departed the table.

Byron Kaverman opened to 5,000 first-to-act and was called by Ben Heath on the button and Arsenii Karmatckii in the small blind. Fabrice Bigot then squeezed to 22,000 from the big blind and Kaverman announced he was all in for a bit over 60,000 total.

Everyone folded in turn and Kaverman picked up the pot without resistance.

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

Timothy Adams opened to 6,000 and was three-bet to 25,000 by Sergey Lebedev in the big blind. Adams confirmed the raise size and called.

Adams called a 15,000 bet from Lebedev on the 10♣K♥4♦ flop and then bet 24,000 himself after Lebedev checked on the 8♥ turn.

Lebedev wanted no part of it and let his hand go — conceding the pot to Adams.

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

Byron Kaverman opened to 35,000 under the gun, leaving himself only 2,500 behind. Badr Douch called in the next seat, with the rest of the table folding.

On the A♠7♠8♠ flop Kaverman put in his last chips and Douch called.

Byron Kaverman: A♣Q♦
Badr Douch: Q♣Q♠

Kaverman was ahead with a pair of aces but Douch had outs to the spade draw. However the 5♣ turn and K♥ river were bricks to send Kaverman a timely double-up.

Lewis' Big River Bet Puts Angelov in the Bin

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

With 45,000 in the middle on the Q♦9♥2♠ flop, Roman Lewis checked to Boris Angelov who fired 21,000 across the line. Lewis responded with a check-raise to 45,500, and Angelov called.

The 3♦ hit the turn, and both players tapped the table.

When the K♣ landed on the river, Lewis used a time bank and pushed forward 145,000, leaving just 10,000 behind. Angelov went deep into thought, using multiple time banks before surrendering the pot.
