Tamas Gets Squeeze Through

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Conor Beresford raised to 1,000 from middle position and received calls from Mark Tamas on the button, Eduard Fechita in the small blind, and Symeon Alexandridis in the big blind.

The subsequent flop of 3♠K♦2♣ was checked by all four players before Alexandridis made a bet of 2,200 on the 4♣ turn. Beresford called but Tamas had other plans and shoved in his stack of 16,000 chips.

Fechita quickly got out of the way and Alexandridis deemed the amount to much as well. Beresford eventually also relinquished his cards and the pot was shipped to Tamas without showdown.

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With several thousand chips already in the middle, Klas Krueger's final 26,000 went in on a flop of 4♠6♦8♠ against Samuel Klocker.

Klas Kreuger: 5♣3♣ All in
Samuel Klocker: 10♥10♣

The 3♦ turn gave Kreuger some extra outs, but the 10♦ river saw Klocker hit a set to lock up the elimination.

"What a gift," someone else at the table commented while Klocker's chipped up to more than five starting stacks.

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Dabiel Tordjman raised to 1,000 from the cutoff before Sokratis Linaras three-bet to 3,000 on the button. Tordjman came along with a call and both players checked through the 7♣A♠J♠ flop.

Trodjman then bet 4,000 on the 6♠ turn, which Linaras called. On the 2♠ river, Tordjman slowed down and checked, leading to a 14,2000 bet from Linaras.

Trodjman took some time but eventually found a fold, and the pot was shipped to the Greek bracelet winner.

Level 6 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Ian Drake pushed all in for 14,800 on a completed board of K♥J♥3♣4♦10♣. With 19,000 already in the pot prior to that, Ravi Sheth was sent into the tank.

Eventually, he slammed in a call and Drake tabled A♥Q♦ for Broadway. Sheth was forced to show his K♦Q♣ for top pair as he frustratedly forfeited his chips to his opponent.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Thomas Kitt and Gabriel Rymar were heads up on a completed board of 3♦K♥4♦A♠6♣, with 16,000 chips in the middle. Rymar had checked out of the small blind before Kitt jammed all in from the hijack, covering the 20,000 chips Rymar had left in his stack.

Rymar thought about it for a good while but eventually made the call, showing down A♦J♠ for top pair. Kitt flashed his A♥ for the same pair but with a worse kicker, and Rymar raked in a double-up.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Tam Ho jammed all in for 2,800 from the cutoff and was called by Salvatore Di Frisco on the button.

Tam Ho: 7♣6♣ All in
Salvatore Di Frisco: 3♥3♦

The 3♠8♣9♣ flop gave Di Frisco a set, but the 5♣ turn locked up the pot for Ho as he made a straight flush. The table was in awe as the 2♠ river rolled off, and Ho took in his new chips with a smile.
