Wilson Suffers Bad Beat as Skarparis Doubles Big

Frank Visser

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Georgios Skarparis got his 5,100,000 in from the button against Simon Wilson in the big blind and was at risk.

Georgios Skarparis: 4♥4♦ All in
Simon Wilson: J♠J♣

Skarparis floppen an open-ender on 5♦3♠6♦ for some extra hope. The 5♠ turn did nothing for him, but the 7♣ river did, making him a straight to crack the jacks of Wilson and double up.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Greg King opened from under the gun to 450,000. Matthew Hall moved all in for 2,150,000 from middle position. David Pollock called in the small blind. King called.

Pollock checked the 10♠2♦3♥ flop to King who announced a bet of 2,500,000. Pollock thought for around thirty seconds before folding and the two remaining players showed down.

Matthew Hall: 9♣9♥ All in
Greg King: 8♠8♣

"Yes!" exclaimed Hall as he found out he was ahead. Pollock asked for "no ace no queen" before the A♣ turn was dealt. "Fuck" said Hall, as he would have taken the lead in a massive pot.

However dejection became relief as the 8♥ rolled off on the river. Hall was left chipless and King raked in a sizeable chunk of chips.

Hall said "that one hurt" before departing the tournament area.

Joe O'Donaill opened to 425,000 from the hijack. Dale Hancock raised to 2,500,000. O'Donnaill called.

On the flop of 7♥K♣3♣ O'Donnaill put Hancock all in. Hancock had around 300,000 behind and he put in the remainder of his stack.

Dale Hancock: A♥J♦ All in
Joe O'Donaill: 8♣8♥

Hancock couldn't pair either of his two over cards on the 3♦ turn and the 4♠ confirmed his exit from the tournament.

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Greg King had raised under the gun, seeing Gabriel Rymar defend his big blind. Rymar check-called King's bet of 400,000 on the J♣6♦4♠ flop before both players checked the 5♥ turn.

Rymar led out for 300,000 on the 10♥ river, only to be raised to 1,300,000 by King. Rymar responded with a three-bet jam for 3,900,000, sending King into the tank.

After a couple of minutes, King let his hand go. Rymar jumped up and triumphantly tabled 7♣4♣ for a measly pair of fours as he raked in the chips.

Level 33 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Riku Koivurinne open-shoved from the cutoff for 2,325,000. Yuriy Boyko called in the small blind, and the players showed down heads-up.

Riku Koivurinne: 4♠4♥ All in
Yuriy Boyko: A♥K♦

Boyko paired up on the A♣Q♥9♣ flop for a big lead, but Koivurinne struck back on the 4♣ turn, locking up the pot with his set. The 9♦ river upgraded him to a meaningless full house, doubling him up to 20 big blinds.
