Lonis Flops the Joint For a Massive Double

David Salituro

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With around 120,000 in the middle in a three-way pot, Jesse Lonis bet 45,000 from the button on a board of A♠9♥9♦3♠ and Tom Vogelsang raised to 190,000 in the small blind.

Alexander van der Swaluw folded in middle position, while Lonis called to see the 10♣ river. Vogelsang then moved all in.

Lonis instantly called for his last 519,000 and Vogelsang showed 3♥3♣ for a full house. Lonis, though, had A♦9♣ for a flopped full house to win the pot and earn a massive double up to jump into contention for the chip lead.

"I knew I shouldn't have asked for a three. I should've kept quiet," Vogelsang said with a laugh after the hand.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of 4♠8♠10♣, Daniel Neilson bet 18,000 from middle position and Sonny Franco called in the hijack, as did big blind Aliaksandr Hirs.

The turn was the 9♦ as action checked to Franco who bet 59,000. Only Neilson called and both players checked down the A♦ river.

Neilson turned over K♠10♠ for a pair of tens, but Franco had J♠J♣ to win the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Around 200,000 was already in the pot on 9♦J♥9♣ and Lukas Hafner had put out a bet of 75,000 from the small blind versus his opponent in middle position, Tom Vogelsang. After some thought Vogelsang called.

On the 4♠ turn Hafner continued to fire, sliding out a bet of 165,000. Vogelsang again called.

On the 2♠ river Hafner, who covered Vogelsang, emptied the clip and moved all in. Hafner looked dismayed when Vogelsang made the snap-call and actually mucked his hand before it was turned over given it was an all-in situation.

Hafner had K♦8♥ for the king-high triple barrel bluff and his timing was unfortunate as Vogelsang had Q♠9♠ for the flopped trip nines.

Vogelsang scooped the monster pot and moves amongst the tournament chip leaders.

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Around 180,000 was in the middle as Vlad Darie and Gerard Rubiralta went heads-up to a flop of 3♦8♥4♦. Darie then bet 42,000 from the hijack before Rubiralta raised to 102,000 under the gun.

Darie tanked for several minutes until another player at the table called the clock. Darie then moved all in for 520,000 and Rubiralta quickly folded.

"Ace-king," Rubiralta asked him.

"I have a deuce," Darie replied as he dragged in the massive pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and Ken Oberliessen was at risk, being all-in for around 175,000 versus the bigger stack of Elvis Petcu.

Ken Oberliessen: A♠K♥
Elvis Petcu: A♦A♥

In a cooler Oberliessen's ace-king had come up against Petcu's aces and the 5♠Q♠6♣6♥9♦ runout did not provide him with an unlikely escape.

Uk Huh Seong: J♥J♣
Mehdi Merai: A♠A♥

Seong could only laugh when he found out the predicament he was in and watched as the 5♥7♦A♦ flop gave Merai top set. "Oh, f**k," Seong said as he began filming the hand. The board ran out 4♦10♠ and Merai sent him to the rail.
