Kai Cocklin

Level 14 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Leon Sturm made it 40,000 to go from the cutoff and Samuel Mullur called out of the big blind.

The flop came J♥5♣K♦, where Mullur check-called a bet of 25,000 from Sturm to the 6♥ turn, which was checked around.

An A♣ hit the river and after Mullur checked, Sturm fired 115,000. Mullur thought for a while, but eventually let his cards go.

Pocket Aces Not Helping Punsri Today

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Pocket aces is the hand everybody dreams of being dealt, but they haven't been working out so well for Punnat Punsri so far today.

Punsri opened under the gun and then called the button shove of David Coleman, who had 350,000 in his stack.

David Coleman: J♠10♠ All in
Punnat Punsri: A♠A♣

Coleman was way, way behind, but had the kind of hand needed to crack an overpair. The flop of 5♥7♦9♥ did offer Coleman a way out with a gutshot, but it was Punsri who improved when the A♦ turn gave him top set.

Only an eight could save Coleman, and that's exactly what came as the 8♥ river gave him a straight.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

From under the gun, Espen Jorstad made it 30,000 before Punnat Punsri three-bet to 80,000 out of the cutoff. Jorstad called when the action folded to him.

Jorstad checked the monotone 3♠J♠5♠ flop, and Punsri bet 40,000. Jorstad gathered together the call.

Jorstad checked for a second time on the 6♥ turn, and Punsri fired again, this time for 90,000. Jorstad deliberated momentarily and then called with 295,000 remaining in his stack.

The 8♥ river got a final check from Jorstad. Punsri burned through a time bank and then jammed to put Jorstad all in. Jorstad took one look back at his cards, then immediately called.

Punsri had A♦A♣ for aces, but was trumped by Jorstad's A♠6♠ for the nut flush. Jorstad moved up to over a million, while Punsri was down to 1,200,000.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

From the button, Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 30,000 and Kayhan Mokri defended from the big blind.

Mokri check-called a bet of 20,000 from Ponakovs on the K♥9♠8♠ flop.

The J♣ turn checked through for the 4♥ to complete the board. Mokri checked, and after a little bit of time, Ponakovs bet 75,000. Mokri snap-called and was shown ace-high by Ponakovs with A♦6♦. Mokri tabled a pair of kings with K♠3♥ to win the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Leon Sturm raised to 35,000 from the hijack and Steve O'Dwyer three-bet the button to 85,000. When it got back to Sturm, he put in the call.

Sturm knuckled the action over to O'Dwyer on the 9♦A♣5♥ flop, and O'Dwyer threw out a bet of 45,000. Sturm continued with a call.

The 6♠ turn and 2♦ river checked through and Sturm turned over 7♦7♠ for a pair of sevens. O'Dwyer looked back at his cards, then returned them to the dealer, allowing the pot to be sent to Sturm.

Ponakovs' Jacks Good at Showdown Against Mokri

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 35,000 from under the gun and Aleksejs Ponakovs called from the small blind. Espen Jorstad was in the big blind and bumped it up to 140,000, which both Mokri and Ponakovs called.

The trio saw a flop of 8♠9♣9♥, where Ponakovs led out for 45,000. Both Jorstad and Mokri dropped in calling chips to see the 7♠ turn, where Ponakovs again fired, this time for 60,000. Jorstad had seen enough and elected to fold, but Mokri stuck around with a call.

A 7♣ double-paired the board and Ponakovs burned through two time banks before he checked, and Mokri knuckled back.

Ponakovs tabled a pair of jacks with J♦J♣, and that was good for the pot as Mokri mucked.
