Good Call Goes Unrewarded for Ivens

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Tom Koral raised to 3,400 from middle position, and Todd Ivens called on the button. Kevin Andriamahefa three-bet shoved for 17,200 in the small blind, and Koral folded. Ivens tanked for a bit before making the call.

Kevin Andriamahefa: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Todd Ivens: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Andriamahefa pulled far ahead after the {4-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{k-Hearts} flop gave him top pair and a flush draw, and Ivens couldn't catch back up on the {9-Clubs} turn or {6-Hearts} river.

Dewindt's Aces Cracked by Koral

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Brian Dewindt
Brian Dewindt

Todd Ivens raised to 4,000 from under the gun, and Brian Dewindt three-bet shoved for 40,000 from the hijack. Tom Koral four-bet jammed for 50,000 on the button, chasing out the blinds and Ivens.

Brian Dewindt: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Tom Koral: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Dewindt's aces held on the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop, but the {k-Diamonds} turn gave Koral top set, leaving Dewindt searching for an ace to survive. The {4-Spades} river bricked off, and Koral took the last of Dewindt's chips.

Todd Ivens raised to 3,500 from middle position, and Andrew Rosskamm three-bet to 10,000, leaving himself just 2,000 behind. Brian Dewindt four-bet shoved for 35,500 on the button, and action folded back to Rosskamm, who called off his last few chips.

Andrew Rosskamm: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Brian Dewindt: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

Rosskamm picked up a gutshot on the {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop, but improved no further on the {3-Hearts} turn or {k-Clubs} river to bust.

Four Duckies are Lucky For VanderWoude

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

"All in, call!" the dealer at Table 2 said, and Michael VanderWoude had called off his last 38,900 from middle position after being put to the test by Andrew Rosskamm on the button, with the current {2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board on the felt.

Michael VanderWoude: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Andrew Rosskamm: {a-Clubs}{3-}

VanderWoude's set needed to fade a five to earn the double, and he doubled up in style after the {2-Clubs} river gave him quad deuces.

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On an {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} board, Niel Mittelman got into a raising war that saw his last 78,100 chips go in the middle from middle position, and his under-the-gun opponent had him at risk.

Niel Mittelman: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Mittelman's Big Slick did the trick after the {5-Hearts} river failed to provide his opponent with a queen, sending Mittelman the double.
