Richard Hayes

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Plant has not had a good end to the level, although this double-up was at least to a short-stack.

Plant opened to 300,000 and Jakub Sterba three-bet jammed for 480,000. Action folded back to Plant who called.

Jakub Sterba: A♣10♥ All in
Ryan Plant: 7♥6♥

Sterba was ahead and ace-high was good enough for the double-up on the Q♦4♠2♠9♦3♣ flop.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Martijn Kiers opened to 425,000 from the hijack and Theodoros Ampelikiotis shoved for 3,400,000 total on the button. It folded back around to Kiers, who snap-called to put Ampelikiotis at risk.

Theodoros Ampelikiotis: A♠4♠ All in
Martijn Kiers: A♦A♥

Ampelikiotis found himself against the worst-possible hand, but the 4♣4♥2♦ flop bailed him out after improving him to trip fours.

The Q♠ turn and 2♥ river kept Ampelikiotis best and he was awarded the unlikely double up.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Vaclav Drbal opened to 400,000 under the gun, and was called by Jack Sinclair in the next seat and Tim van Kemenade in the big blind.

On the A♠8♠8♣ flop, Drbal continued with a bet of 400,000 and Sinclair called. Van Kemenade then produced a check-raise to 1,400,000, before Drbal three-bet jammed for 5,350,000.

Sinclair took some time to think before getting his stack of around 4,000,000 into the middle, and, unbelievably, Van Kemenade moved his stack forward, creating a three-way all-in.

Vaclav Drbal: A♣Q♥ All in
Jack Sinclair: 8♦8♥ All in
Tim van Kemenade: A♥K♥

Sinclair was in dreamland with flopped quads leaving both of his opponents drawing dead. The K♣Q♣ runout completed the board, sending a small side pot to Van Kemenade, and a massive triple up to Sinclair.
