Mittal's Spin-Up Begins

Tim Baker

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Rahul Mittal has doubled twice in consecutive hands, increasing his stack to around a third of what he started with.

First, he jammed for a few big blinds under the gun and found a call from Umberto Vitagliano in the hijack.

Rahul Mittal: K♦Q♥ All in
Umberto Vitagliano: 3♥3♠

It was a flip, and Mittal managed to navigate his way to the win after pairing his queen on the 8♥6♣Q♦J♦4♦ runout.

On the very next hand, Marcin Puczylowski raised to 1,300 from early position, and Thomas Hueber called from the next seat. Mittal ripped it in for about 4,800 from the big blind, which Hueber called.

Rahul Mittal: 7♥6♦ All in
Thomas Hueber: K♦10♦

Mittal was behind, but that didn't matter as the J♠6♣8♣5♦9♦ runout gave him a straight, completing back-to-back doubles and taking his stack up to five figures.

Seeing the K♣2♠8♣A♥ appear as the turn, Michael Dwyer bet 15,000 into a pot of 18,000 from the big blind. Felipe Germano sat in middle position, giving it some thought before moving all in for 26,900.

Dwyer spent a minute or so in the tank before he committed the required chips for a call.

Felipe Germano: A♣9♣ All in
Michael Dwyer: K♥2♥

Germano had plenty of outs against Dwyer's two pair, but the 10♦ river was not one of them. Both players tapped the table before Germano departed the tournament area.

Brandon Sheils raised to 1,400 from the cutoff and Daniel Jackson defended from the big blind.

After Jackson checked the J♥4♥6♠ flop, Sheils bet 1,500. Jackson check-raised to 5,500, which Sheils called.

Two checks followed on the 5♥ turn before the J♦ landed on the river. Jackson bet 15,500, and after taking a little while to think, Sheils called.

Jackson revealed J♣5♠ for a full house to win the pot, sending Sheils below the starting stack.

Preflop, Benjamin Spragg got his remaining 18,400 in the middle from the cutoff against Rahul Mittal in the hijack.

Benjamin Spragg: J♠J♣ All in
Rahul Mittal: A♦3♥

Spragg flopped a set on A♥K♥J♦, securing the pot after the 9♦ hit the felt on the turn. The meaningless 8♥ river rolled off as Spragg raked in the pot.

Eric Rabut raised to 1,100 from early position and Tolga Alibeyoglu called from the hijack. Jacques Der Megreditchian squeezed to 3,700 from the cutoff, and both opponents called.

When the action checked to Der Megreditchian on the 2♦4♦3♠ flop, he bet 3,000, and only Alibeyoglu continued with a call.

Alibeyoglu check-called a second bet from Der Megreditchian on the 9♠ turn, this time for 7,000.

Both players checked the A♦ river and Alibeyoglu took down the pot with 5♥4♥, having rivered a wheel.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Arriving on the 5♥10♦2♥Q♦ turn, Paul Klann got his stack of 25,000 into the middle from the hijack against Manuel Rossi on the button, being the player at risk.

Paul Klann: 2♠2♦ All in
Manuel Rossi: 10♠10♣

Klann was left with one out in the deck after running into a higher set, and he did not find it on the K♥ river.

Yen Spikes a Queen to Bust Steen

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Ryoji Kusumoto raised to 1,000 from the cutoff and Alexander Yen three-bet the button to 3,000. Yngve Steen cold four-bet jammed the small blind for 10,800, which was called only by Yen.

Yngve Steen: A♦K♥ All in
Alexander Yen: A♠Q♦

Steen's big slick had him way out in front, but that all changed when the Q♥4♥5♣ flop gave Yen top pair.

The 2♦ turn and 5♠ river provided no help to Steen, making him another casualty of Day 1a.
