Moolhuizen Climbing

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Mateusz Moolhuizen just won two pots which bumped his stack back up to right around the average. First he raised from the small blind and Grant Levy called from the big. The flop brought {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Levy called the 35,000-chip continuation bet.

On the turn the {10-Diamonds} hit and now Moolhuizen check-called 52,000. The river brought the {5-Diamonds} and both players checked. Levy showed {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and mucked when Moolhuizen turned over his {J-Spades}{4-Spades} for a pair of fours.

A few hands later it was Moolhuizen who raised to 20,000 and Team PokerStars Pro Jason Mercier three-bet to 48,000 from the cutoff. Moolhuizen four-bet to 105,000 and Mercier tank-folded.

More For Vandersmissen

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Noah Schwartz raised from the button to 22,000 and Kevin Vandersmissen defended his big blind. The flop brought out {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and both players checked.

On the turn the {J-Diamonds} hit and Schwartz called Vandersmissen's 21,000-chip bet. The river brought the {10-Clubs} and this time Schwartz called 72,000 only to see that the Belgian pro had made a running straight with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. Schwartz mucked and was knocked down to below average.

Dansker Done

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

German Dansker opened to 20,000 from under the gun, Grant Levy three-bet to 53,000 from the small blind, and Dansker moved all in for around 120,000. Levy quickly called.

Dansker: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Levy: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The flop fell {2-Spades}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}, giving Levy a set of jacks and Dansker a flush draw, but the turn ({q-Hearts}) and the river ({5-Hearts}) were both red. Dansker hit the rail, while Levy is up to 835,000 chips.

Noah Boeken (Day 3) - Eliminated
Noah Boeken (Day 3) - Eliminated

Kevin Vandersmissen opened to 22,000 from under the gun, Noah Boeken three-bet all in for 153,000 on the button, and the action folded back to Vandersmissen. The Belgian tanked for over a minute, then called.

Vandersmissen: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Boeken: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The dealer rapped the table, burned a card, then revealed the window card - the {10-Hearts}. She paused for a brief moment, then ripped the remainder of the flop across, revealing the {9-Clubs} and the {j-Spades}.

The turn and river came {8-Clubs}, {3-Hearts} respectively, eliminating Boeken in 26th place.

Clyde Tjauw Foe

Just before break, Steve O'Dwyer opened to 25,000 from under the gun. Clyde Tjauw Foe three-bet jammed for 195,000 from the small blind, and O'Dwyer called.

O'Dwyer: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Foe: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

O'Dwyer held on the flop ({6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}), and the turn ({4-Hearts}), but the {q-Hearts} spiked on the river, giving Foe a winning pair of queens. Neither player flinched at the sight of the card, and the chips were pushed towards the Dutchman.
