Kara Applies Pressure Preflop

Patrick Cole

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Apostolos Chantzis opened from under the gun to 2,000. Michel Karim then three-bet to 6,500 from early position. Action folded around to Halim Kara in the small blind.

He opted to four-bet to 17,500. Chantzis folded fairly quickly before Karim tanked for around a minute. He ultimately decided to muck his hand and forfeit the pot to Kara.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Luis Moreira limped from the cutoff and Felix Van Beuningen shoved the button for 13,500. Bo Hoebe was in the big blind and shoved his stack into the middle, and Moreira folded with around 25,000 behind.

Felix Van Beuningen: J♠10♠ All in
Bo Hoebe: A♣9♣

Hoebe had made the right shove, but wasn't rewarded for it as Van Beuningen paired his ten on the 10♦K♦K♠8♠6♥ runout to double up.

"We need chips!" said Alexander Donev, "Everybody at this table is short-stacked" he added. Donev was right, everybody seated at the table had less than 30 big blinds in their stack.

Bo Hoebe	40,000 40,000	40,000

Richard Hayes

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jan Streicher opened to 3,500 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 12,000 from Alessandro Adinolfo in the small blind. Action folded back to Streicher, who called.

On the 9♠7♠3♦ flop, Adinolfo jammed with the covering stack, and Streicher quickly got his last 19,500 in the middle.

Jan Streicher: 9♦8♦ All in
Alessandro Adinolfo: A♠10♠

Streicher had top pair nines, but had outs to dodge versus Adinolfo's flush draw and overcards, and he did just that on the 9♥Q♣ runout, as Streicher improved to trip nines.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Lasse Lauritsen was all-in preflop with two other players still in the hand.

Carsten Meyer-Nordhorn and Sorin Ionut Morariu checked the K♣J♥10♣ flop and Q♣ turn and the river was the 4♦. With 44,000 in the middle already, Meyer-Nordhorn bet 12,000 and Morariu quickly folded.

Lauritsen tabled Q♦10♥ for two pair, but the A♣K♥ for Meyer-Nordhorn took down the pot and eliminated Lauritsen.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After Michael Adam bet from middle position, Martyn Frey on the button raised to 6,000. Aarne Haaranen in the small blind moved all in for 8,000, and he was called by the big blind.

Adam shoved for 18,500, Frey called and the big blind folded.

Aarne Haaranen: 9♦9♠ All in
Michael Adam: A♦A♥ All in
Martyn Frey: Q♠Q♦

Both Frey and Haaranen flopped a set on Q♥7♦9♥, with Frey on his way to score a double elimination. But after the 4♦ turn, Adam hit the A♣ river to save himself and triple up while Haaranen was eliminated.

The table broke after this hand.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Marian Virlanuta was seen raking in a pot with Germany's Oliver Heidel cutting out the chips from his stack to send them across the table.

The full board read 6♠6♥J♥2♠J♣ and Heidel's cards were already mucked at showdown. Virlanuta had A♥9♥ flipped over for just ace-high, which was good for the pot and a full double-up of his stack.
