Wolters Busts on One of the Last Hands of the Day

Tim Baker

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With a full board of 6♠K♥Q♥10♣6♦ showing, Nicolaas Wolters was in the tank after Michal Kil shoved the river to put him to the test for the rest of his stack, which amounted to around 80,000.

After a long deliberation, Wolters made the call and was shown a rivered full house by Kil holding Q♠Q♣. Wolters tabled A♣J♠ for Broadway as he headed to the exit just a few hands before the end of the day.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Takashi Yagura opened the button to 6,500 and Thales De Figuereido called from the small blind. Ren Lin was in the big blind and shoved 65,500, and Yagura didn't need to think for too long before he moved all in. Figuereido quickly folded.

Ren Lin: A♥3♠ All in
Takashi Yagura: 10♥10♦

Lin rolled the dice with his ace, but ran into the pocket tens of Yagura. There was still a runout to come, but Lin didn't find much to work with on the K♠5♦5♠ flop. A J♥ on the turn put Lin one step closer to the door, and the 10♣ river sent him there as Yagura improved to an unneeded set.

After Lin had left, the pot was pushed to Yagura, who noticed a "No Gamble, No Future" patch mixed in with his newfound chips.

"Is this mine? Did I win a bounty?" he joked.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ran Shahar had opened from the button and then called the shove of Alessandro Pichierri, who moved all in from the small blind for around 45,000.

Alessandro Pichierri: A♦J♠ All in
Ran Shahar: 6♠6♣

Pichierri had to win a flip to stay alive, but found no help on the 4♥Q♠8♣ flop. A 6♦ on the turn sealed Pichierri's fate as he was drawing dead, with the meaningless K♠ filling out the board on the river.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Igor Pihela Jr., on the button, was all in and at risk for a bit more than 200,000 against Tim van de Riet, who had a bigger stack in the big blind.

Igor Pihela Jr.: A♥K♦ All in
Tim van de Riet: K♥K♠

Van de Riet, with kings, kept the lead all the way through the board of 3♦9♠9♥6♥7♦ to eliminate Pihela and reach 455,000.

Bich Holds With Jacks; Dukic Busts

Tim Baker

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Pablo Redrado raised to 5,500 from the hijack before Nenad Dukic jammed for around 20,000 out of the small blind. Marco Bich moved all in over the top from the big blind for roughly 30,000, and Redrado called, covering both players.

Nenad Dukic: A♣7♥ All in
Marco Bich: J♠J♥ All in
Pablo Redrado: 5♦5♣

Dukic needed an ace, Redrado was looking for a five, and Bich required a clean runout.

The dealer produced a favorable board for Bich's pocket jacks as he improved to a straight on the 10♥3♥Q♥9♦8♠ runout. Dukic was out, and Bich virtually tripled up.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Siebe den Hartog moved all in for 23,000 from early position and was called by Vidur Sethi in the big blind.

Siebe den Hartog: A♦9♦ All in
Vidur Sethi: A♠K♣

Den Hartog smiled, with Marle Spragg to his right, when he flopped top pair and the nut flush draw on a dream-flop of 8♦9♣3♦. But after the 6♠ turn, the K♠ river landed on the felt to give the best pair to Sethi and send Den Hartog to the rail.

Tim Baker

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

From the cutoff, David Belaich just over min-raised to 5,500 before Rafik Chelihi shoved for 17,500 from the button. Belaich called when the action got back to him.

Rafik Chelihi: A♠9♥ All in
David Belaich: A♣J♣

Chelihi was in rough shape against he superior ace of Belaich. The runout of A♥10♠8♥6♦10♥, didn't help Chelihi enough to win him the pot, and he was out of the Main Event.
