Bamford Bluffs Into Aces

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Matteo Zanardi checked the 5♠4♥Q♠9♠ turn from the small blind to Jordan Bamford in late position, who added 10,500 to the pot of 30,000 with a bet.

Zanardi took some time before calling, after which the 6♥ river completed the board. Zanardi checked again, prompting Bamford to put his opponent all-in for 27,000.

Zanardi quickly called. Bamford could only show ace-high with his A♦J♦, leaving Zanardi to take the pot with A♠A♥.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was joined as James Alexander was all-in at risk, and standing over the table, watching the board run out. It was Rebecca Yip who had him on the ropes.

James Alexander: 10♥10♣ All in
Rebecca Yip: J♠J♦

The 7♦10♦J♣ flop had seen both players flop a set, and, unfortunately for Alexander, the 6♣ turn and 8♦ river were unable to save him.

Valerio Secchiaroli opened to 2,000 preflop, and saw two players call. Jamie Walden from the button, and the player in the big blind.

When the dealer spread a 4♥Q♠5♣ flop, Secchiaroli moved all in for 13,100. Both Walden and the big blind promptly folded.

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a small pot, Frederico Morais had put in 15,000 from early position on the 4♦5♣Q♣ flop. Richard Frey then moved all in for 30,000 on the button, and Iani Tulica reshoved in the big blind, covering Morais' stack of about 100,000.

Morais went deep into the tank, but eventually relinquished his cards to force a showdown.

Richard Frey: A♥Q♠ All in
Iani Tulica: 7♣3♣

Tulica completed his flush on the K♣ turn, leaving Frey drawing dead. The 5♥ river was rendered meaningless as Frey headed towards the exit.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In the final hand before the blinds were raised, Tobias Hoellerer made it 2,300 from the button. Only Szymon Koper called, defending his big blind.

The dealer spread a 8♠2♠4♥ flop, on which Koper check-called a continuation bet of 3,300.

Both the J♠ turn and the 8♦ river checked through, and when Hoellerer flipped over his 6♦4♦, Koper revealed he had him out-kicked with his K♣4♣.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mats Viking opened under the gun to 3,000. Edwin Roycroft made it 9,000 to go in the next seat over, after which the action folded to PokerStars ambassador Guillermo Sanz in the big blind.

Sanz thought for a moment before moving all in for 42,500. Viking quickly folded, but Roycroft snap-called with the covering stack.

Guillermo Sanz: A♥K♦ All in
Edwin Roycroft: Q♦Q♣

Sanz increased his outs on the 7♦6♦10♦ flop, but Roycroft's queen reigned supreme on the 6♣ turn and 9♣ runout to set Sanz's fate in stone.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Andrew MacKenzie opened to 2,500 from early position, with only Thijs Dirkzwager calling in the big blind.

Both players checked on the A♠7♦7♣ flop, and when MacKenzie opted for the delayed continuation bet, his 3,000 wager was enough to shake Dirkzwager off the pot.
