Karlic Done For the Day

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Walking up the escalators we noticed Gerald Karlic eating a sandwich along with Tom Hall and Ami Barer, though it was still 10 minutes until the next break. Karlic must have had busted as he was previously short-stacked when his {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} got cracked by the {Q-Spades} {10-Spades} of an opponent. The opponent's flush draw turned into the runner runner nut straight and Karlic paid off an overbet on the river to fall down to 16,000.

The remainder of the stack went in with {A-} {K-} against pocket sevens and the Austrian didn't improve anymore.

Troyanovskiy vs. Kaj Smit

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy opened for 3,500 from middle position and was met by a three-bet to 8,800 from Dennis Kaj Smit on the button. Both blinds folded, Troyanovskiy called, and it was heads-up action to the flop, which came down {7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. Troyanovskiy check-called a bet of 10,200, and then check-folded to one of 18,600 on the {K-Hearts} turn.

Despite losing that hand, it's been a good day thus far for Troyanovskiy; in fact, both he and Kaj Smit have chipped up on Day 2.

Ami Barer
Ami Barer

Rasmus Agerskov opened from under the gun and Ami Barer moved all but his last 2,000 chips into the middle of the table out of the small blind. Agerskov called the bet of 45,000 and Barer then shoved the remainder of his stack on a flop of {2-} {5-} {8-}. Agerskov called with pocket kings and Barer failed to improve with {A-} {K-} as two blanks completed the board.

Wrang Takes from Bilokur

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Jannick Wrang opened to 3,800 and was called by the player in the small blind before Alex Bilokur raised to 9,600 in the big blind. Only Wrang called and they saw the flop of {6-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}.

A continuation bet of Bilokur for 7,500 was called by Wrang and the Russian then check-called a bet of 11,800 on the {A-Diamonds} turn. With the {6-Spades} as final community card, Bilokur checked again and eventually paid off the 16,000-bet of Wrang to muck when the Dane flipped over {A-Spades} {8-Spades} for a full house.

Lundgren Works on a Miracle

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Not long ago Bjoern Olof Lundgren was down to his last 3,900 but was saved by the isolation of Rasmus Agerskov to more than quadruple up. Now, the Swede was all in and at risk for 47,600 with {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} and faced the {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} of Francis-Nicolas Bouchard. The board ran out {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} and Lundgren jumped up, excited, and pumped his fists.
