Le Spikes River to Crack Aces in Cooler

Richard Hayes

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

Cristian Visoiu opened to 8,500 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 20,000 by Tan Le in the next seat. Action folded to Darko Percic in the small blind, who took some time for thought before producing a four-bet to 53,500.

Visoiu got out of the way, but Le moved all-in pretty promptly for around 138,000 total, and was snapped by Percic with the slightly covering stack.

Tan Le: K♥K♦ All in
Darko Percic: A♣A♠

Le had run into aces in a cooler, and was suitably disgusted with the scenario. His mood darkened further after the A♦7♦6♣ flop gave Percic top set.

A ray of hope appeared after the 4♦ turn gave him a diamond draw, and sure enough the 5♦ hit on the river to send him the double-up with the king-high flush.

Le slammed the table in celebration as the river hit, while Percic couldn't believe what had just transpired, shaking his head and muttering to himself for quite some time after.

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

Rubens Sellam opened to 6,500 under the gun, and received calls from Nakul Sharma in middle position and Juho Suutari in the big blind.

On the A♣6♠3♣ flop, Sellam continued with a bet of 8,000 and received a call from both of his opponents.

The 8♥ hit on the turn, and Suutari checked once more. Sellam fired out a bet of 17,000, and Sharma again called. Suutari then check-jammed for 38,000. Sellam called, but then folded to a three-bet jam from Sharma for 83,000.

Juho Suutari: A♥J♦ All in
Nakul Sharma: A♠8♠

Sharma had top two pair versus Suutari's pair of aces, and Suutari could not find the jack he required on the 3♠ river.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Toni Kaukua moved all in for 28,000 and was looked up by Birger Larsen in the big blind.

Toni Kaukua: A♥8♠ All in
Birger Larsen: A♦9♦

Kaukua's ace was pipped but the K♠Q♠5♠ flop was a good one, giving him a spade draw. His flush completed on the 6♠ turn with the 7♠ river completing the board and Kaukua's double.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kristian Dahl raised to 10,000 from under the gun and Victor Pinna shoved from the next seat for 76,000. When the action got back to Dahl, he took his time before he dropped in the call with a stack of around 100,000.

Victor Pinna: 9♦9♠ All in
Kristian Dahl: A♥Q♣

It was a fair flip where Pinna kept his advantage through the 5♠K♠8♣ flop and even picked up a flush draw on the J♠ turn. Dahl needed to connect with the river, but instead Pinna improved to a set when the 9♣ completed the board, which earned him a double-up.

On the same table is Arik Filstein, who was down to just one big blind not too long ago, but has gone on a major spin-up and now has around 200,000 in front of him.

Player	Chips	Progress
Arik Filstein	200,000 19,000	19,000
Victor Pinna	160,000 160,000	160,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Daniel Koloszar was all in for 100,000 and at risk versus Daniel Abrahamsson.

Daniel Koloszar: K♣K♦ All in
Daniel Abrahamsson: J♣10♣

Koloszar looked in great shape, but was in trouble after the 8♣5♣3♣ flop gave his opponent a flush.

Koloszar still had outs to a higher flush. The K♥ turn gave him extra outs with top set if he filled up, but the Q♥ river was a brick, sending the unfortunate Koloszar to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of A♥7♣8♣10♦7♦, there were around 40,000 chips in the middle when Nicolas Bokowski checked from the big blind and Aleksey Cherkasov bet 20,000 from middle position. Bokowski then shoved, which put Cherkasov to the test for his remaining stack of 40,000. Some time went by while Cherkasov tried to piece together the puzzle, and eventually he called.

Bokowski then showed a straight with J♣9♦, and Cherkasov was forced to show A♠9♠ before he departed, which left Bokowski with a stack of almost 450,000!

Nicolas Bokowski	450,000 275,000	275,000

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Around 75,000 was in the middle on a board of J♣9♠4♣10♥ in a battle of the blinds between Thore Boedefeld and Ben Miller, with Boedefeld check-calling a bet of 46,000 from Miller.

The 6♥ river completed the board, and Boedefeld took quite a bit of time before checking. Miller slid out a bet of 120,000, leaving himself about 100,000 behind.

Boedefeld, who was playing 270,000, decided to send his hand to the dealer and the pot to Miller.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Milos Dzakic was all in for 65,000 from middle position. Gregory Telman also moved all in from the cutoff for 61,000. Sebastian Kobos went into the tank for around a minute before moving all in in the small blind. The big blind folded and the players showed down.

Gregory Telman: J♠J♣ All in
Milos Dzakic: A♥10♣ All in
Sebastian Kobos: A♦K♠

Telman kept the lead on the J♦K♦3♦ flop. However, Kobos had the nut flush draw and Dzakic held a Broadway draw. The Q♥ completed Dzakic's straight, but he still needed to fade the board pairing and any diamond.

The 7♦ gave Kobos the nut flush and secured a 130,000 chip pot in the process. He celebrated his big win as the table lamented the sick runout.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Szymon Bujok opened under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet by Katie Swift in the small blind to 46,000. Kimberly Jones moved all in from the big blind for almost exactly the same amount, and Bujok called.

On the 7♠6♣2♦ flop, Swift continued with a bet of 30,000, and was faced with a prompt jam from Bujok for 131,500.

Swift had 86,000 behind and took a couple of minutes before making the call.

Kimberly Jones: A♥J♦ All in
Katie Swift: Q♠Q♣ All in
Szymon Bujok: 10♦10♠

Swift was in great shape with the better overpair, and the K♥5♦ turn and river confirmed the pot was Swift's, with Jones heading for the rail and Bujok being left with crumbs.
