Assorted Level 3 Entries and Eliminations

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Lisii Climbs Above Start; Jontulovic Calls Clock on Himself

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

On a 3J9J turn, Serghei Lisii bet 3,700 from the big blind. Hijack Fation Topalli then raised to 9,7000, and Lisii called. The 2 river was quickly checked to showdown, where Lisii tabled AJ for the winning hand.

Over at another table, Matthew Wantman, under the gun, had bet 14,400 into a pot of 16,000 on the K329J river. Bogdan Jontulovic in middle position went deep into the tank, eventually calling the clock on himself.

He was given a 30-second countdown but folded before the timer reached zero.

Quads for a Million! Player Turns $5 into $1M in PokerStars Spin & Go

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
PokerStars Spin & Go
PokerStars Spin & Go

More than 87% of the time, anyone who enters a $5 buy-in Spin & Go tournament online at PokerStars will be playing for a prize pool of either double or three times their buy-in. However, a recent $5 Spin & Go was special because the 240,000x jackpot multiplier was triggered, meaning the trio of entrants was playing for a gargantuan $1.2 million prize pool. The chances of that happening? 0.10 in a million!

PokerStars Spin & Go tournaments are a winner-takes-all when the prize pool multiplier is between 2x and 5x. The top two finishers win a slice of the pie when a 10x is hit, with anything 25x or larger paying out all three entrants.

When "KuCoH" of Belarus, Brazil's "malakaio300," and Denmark's "dillerfar19" bought into a $5 Spin & Go, the prize pool selector stopped on the ultra-rare 240,000x!

Kolev Makes Marin Fold Overpair

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

With 13,000 in the pot, Ivelin Kolev and Juan Marin arrived on the 64289 river. After some thought, Kolev dropped in 17,500 from under the gun, sending Marin into the tank.

Some minutes passed before Marin let go of his cards, showing as he mucked JJ.

Rodoplu Picks Off Crobu

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Andrea Crobu made it 600 from middle position, with Tayfun Rodoplu calling on the button and Barbara Fugivala defending from the big blind.

All three were happy to check the 6J10 flop, and the Q landed on the turn. Fugivala checked again, Crobu bet 900, and only Rodoplu called.

Crobu then fired out an overbet of 8,000 on the board-pairing 6 river, and Rodoplu quickly called.

Crobu sheepishly tabled an airball with K8, while Rodoplu showed K9 for a straight to take the pot.

Kamada Takes It on River

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Three-way to the 628J turn, Thomas Rauhe checked from the small blind to Dan Wilson under the gun. Wilson bet 2,300 into the pot of 7,200, which Shusuke Kamada called in the hijack after taking a second look at his cards.

Rauhe tossed in calling chips as well, prompting the dealer to place the 5 on the river. This time, it checked to Kamada. After some thought, he bet 5,500, garnering two quick folds to rake in the chips uncontested.

Zhou Flushes Out Moreira

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Quan Zhou
Quan Zhou

In a three-way pot, Quan Zhou checked first from the big blind on the 495 flop, and Andre Moreira checked behind in middle position. Thomas M'bodj fired for 1,700 on the button, which Zhou called before Moreira check-raised to 6,700. M'bodj got out of the way, but Zhou responded by jamming, covering Moreira.

Moreira had about 14,000 left in his stack and went deep into the tank. Repeatedly counting his stack and visibly torn on how to proceed, he eventually stacked up his chips and slammed them into the middle.

Andre Moreira: A8 All in
Quan Zhou: 75

Zhou was ahead with a pair and a flush draw, and although Moreira paired up on the 8 turn, the same card improved Zhou to an unbeatable flush, sealing Moreira's fate.

The 4 river was a formality, sending Moreira to the rail while Zhou climbed to almost two starting stacks.

De Arruda Catches Santichio Speeding

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Antonio Santichio raised to 700 in middle position. Jorge De Arruda then three-bet to 2,200 in the cutoff, which Santichio called. Santichio promptly led out with a bet of 1,500 on the 6QJ flop. De Arruda called, after which the 4 turn was checked through.

Santichio re-engaged on the 3 river with a bet of 5,000. De Arruda called to showdown, where Santichio announced "nothing" and tabled K9. De Arruda had a pair with AJ, taking down the pot.

Lin Flips His Way to Survival

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Coming back from the break, Keer Lin was eager to get his 10,900 into the middle preflop, with Romain Locquet looking to send him to the rail.

Keer Lin: 1010 All in
Romain Locquet: AK

It was a coin flip, but Lin took a commanding lead after flopping a boat on the 9910 flop.

The 5 turn sealed Lin's double-up, leaving the 3 river as a mere formality.
