Ponakovs Stacks Kaverman

Kai Cocklin

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jesse Lonis opened the hijack to 22,000 and Byron Kaverman called from the cutoff. Aleksejs Ponakovs was in the small blind and squeezed to an even 100,000, which got Lonis to fold. Kaverman then ripped in around 500,000, and Ponakovs quickly called.

Byron Kaverman: Q♠Q♣ All in
Aleksejs Ponakovs: K♦K♣

Kaverman had run into it, but there was still a runout to sweat with five cards to come. However, none of those five cards helped as the 2♣A♥7♣3♠3♣ runout sent Kaverman to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Pieter Aerts raised to 20,000 from the hijack before Espen Jorstad three-bet to 50,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to Aerts, he jammed for around 210,000, and Jorstad called.

Pieter Aerts: A♦Q♠ All in
Espen Jorstad: A♣K♦

Aerts had shoved right into Jorstad's big slick and needed a queen to survive. Neither player improved on the 9♠J♣4♠5♠10♦ runout, meaning Jorstad's ace-king high held up, and Aerts was out.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was an open before David Coleman shoved 212,000 from the small blind. Jean-Noel Thorel called from the big blind, and the initial raiser folded.

David Coleman: A♥Q♦ All in
Jean-Noel Thorel: J♥J♣

Coleman needed to win a flip to stay alive, but didn't find any assistance on the 2♦K♠K♦ flop. However, help arrived in the form of a Q♠ as Coleman paired his queen, which left him one card away from a double.

That double was confirmed when the 2♣ hit the river, and Thorel's stack took a hit.

David Coleman	450,000 283,000	283,000

Samuel Mullur raised from under the gun and got a call out of Nikita Kuznetsov on the button.

They went to a flop of 7♣2♦A♥, where Muller checked and Kuznetsov fired out 22,000. Mullur called to the 3♦ turn, where he check-called a bet of 100,000 from Kuznetsov.

A 6♠ fell on the river and both players decided to check it down, with the A♦Q♦ of Mullur being good for the pot with a pair of aces.

With Petrangelo all-in, Klein and Lonis checked a runout of 5♠8♦2♦3♥K♥ all the way to the river. Klein checked for the last time and then folded after Lonis bet 42,000.

Petrangelo turned up top pair with K♦9♠, but was out-kicked by the A♣K♠ of Lonis. The pot went to Lonis, and Petrangelo was out.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With the board showing 9♣8♥7♣7♥ and with a big pot having already amassed. Aleksejs Ponakovs fired out a bet of roughly 95,000 from the small blind. Jesse Lonis , who was sitting in the hijack, continued in the form of a call.

Ponakovs burned through a time bank before checking the Q♠ river, and Lonis quickly checked behind.

Ponakovs said, "You win," and tabled K♦10♥ for a bluff. Lonis turned over 2♦2♥ for just a pair of deuces to take down the pot.

The flop came J♠K♣8♦ and when it got to Elamawy, he fired 15,000. O'Dwyer called, and Muehloecker let his cards go.

Both players checked the 2♣ turn and when the 4♥ hit the river, Elamawy checked again. O'Dwyer then fired a bet of 55,000, and before his chips had even settled in the pot, Elamawy called.

O'Dwyer showed A♥10♥ for a bluff, and Elamawy took it down holding a pair of jacks with Q♥J♣.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With around 75,000 in the pot, three players saw the flop come down 4♥2♦Q♦. Punnat Punsri checked from the big blind, and Espen Jorstad checked from the hijack. Nick Petrangelo bet 20,000 from the button, which only Punsri called.

The 4♠ rolled off on the turn and Punsri check-called a bet of 50,000 by Petrangelo.

Punsri checked for the last time when the Q♥ completed the board, and Petrangelo bet 106,000, leaving just one T-1,000 chip behind. Punsri called, and Petrangelo instantly mucked his cards, meaning Punsri pulled in the pot without showing his holding.

Petrangelo had just 1,000 left after the hand, but has since won a few all-ins and is now sitting on 50,000.

Teun Mulder opened from middle position and Leon Sturm three-bet the hijack to 60,000. When it got back to Mulder, he called.

Both saw the flop of 8♣3♣7♥ hit the felt and after Mulder checked, Sturm bet 45,000. Mulder called to the A♣ turn, where both checked.

The 10♣ on the river put four clubs on board and Mulder tapped the table once again, then Sturm bet 165,000. Mulder burned through a few time banks before he flicked in a chip to call, then instantly mucked when Sturm showed the nuts with K♣9♣.
