Mulder Wins Two in a Row

Kai Cocklin

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Espen Jorstad, Teun Mulder, and Sameh Elamawy just played back-to-back pots with each other.

First, Jorstad raised from under the gun to 8,000 and got a call from Mulder in the next seat. Elamawy also called from the big blind.

The flop came 2♣K♦3♠ and all three checked to the 4♦ turn. When it checked to Jorstad, he fired 6,500, and Mulder made it 28,000 to go. Elamawy and Jorstad both folded.

In the next hand, Mulder raised from under the gun and got called by Elamawy in the small blind and Jorstad in the big blind.

Mulder took it down with a continuation-bet on the Q♣8♦10♠ flop.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three players saw the flop come down 5♠3♥9♦, and Punnat Punsri started with a check from the big blind. Byron Kaverman bet 15,000 from under the gun, which only got called by Kayhan Mokri on the button.

Both players checked when they saw the 2♠ turn, and the same happened on the A♦ river. Kaverman flipped up a pair of nines with 9♠8♠, and Mokri returned his cards to the dealer.

Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel made it 10,000 from the cutoff, and only Nikita Kuznetsov defended from the big blind.

The 10♥4♣5♣ flop came down, and Kuznetsov check-called a bet of 10,000 by Thorel.

The A♥ hit the turn, and Kuznetsov check-called another bet from Thorel, this time for 20,000.

Two checks came after the K♥ river, and Thorel's A♦3♦ for a pair of aces earned him the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Enrico Camosci made it 8,000 to go from the hijack and Leon Sturm three-bet the small blind to 26,000. Camosci called.

They went to the flop of K♦9♦6♦, where Sturm made a continuation-bet of 12,000, which Camosci called to see the 6♣ on the turn. Sturm slowed down with a check, then called a 22,000-chip bet from Camosci.

A 5♦ filled out the board on the river and after Sturm checked, Camosci went into the tank. After burning through a time bank, Camosci bet 88,000. Sturm didn't need to think for too long before he folded.

Tim Baker

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Niklas Astedt made it 9,000 from the button and Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 22,000 out of the big blind. Astedt made the call.

Thorel made a continuation-bet of 35,000 on the A♣8♣6♣ flop, and Astedt stuck around with a call.

The 10♠ on the turn caused Thorel to toss out one green chip, which was worth a bet of 25,000. Astedt raised to 95,000, and Thorel instantly called.

Both players checked the 5♥ river and Thorel turned over 10♣10♦ for a turned set of tens to win the pot.

At a nearby table, Morten Klein was seen leaving his seat and has been eliminated from the tournament.

Muehloecker Can't Beat Mulder's Jacks

Kai Cocklin

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Sameh Elamawy opened from middle position to 8,000 and Teun Mulder three-bet the cutoff to 25,000. Thomas Muehloecker was in the big blind and ripped in his stack of around 150,000. Elamawy folded, and Mulder called.

Thomas Muehloecker: A♠J♠ All in
Teun Mulder: J♦J♣

Muehloecker needed to find some spades or an ace, but didn't find much to work with on the 8♣5♣5♠ flop. A 2♣ on the turn left Muehloecker with just one shot at three outs, and he couldn't find any of them as the K♣ on the river cemented his elimination.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 9,000 from the hijack and Jason Koon jammed for 34,500 out of the cutoff. David Coleman announced a min-raise from the big blind, and Lonis tossed his cards away.

Jason Koon: 7♣7♠ All in
David Coleman: A♦J♠

Koon was one of the shortest stacks in the tournament and needed to win this race to begin his spin-up.

Koon found a more than favorable flop in the form of 7♦2♥Q♣ as he improved to a set. The remainder of the runout came 9♣8♠ and Koon doubled through Coleman.
