Linton Trapped

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Pete Linton raised to 325,000 with {K-Spades} {4-Spades}, his favourite hand. Jakub Michalak called from the big blind with {a-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}.

The flop was {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} and Michalak checked it over to the aggressive Linton who obliged with a bet of 1,150,000. Michalak just called

The turn was {8-Clubs} and again Michalak checked. Linton bet again, 1,750,000 and Michalak called.

The river was {4-Clubs}. Perhaps Linton would have triple barrel bluffed but now he had showdown value and when Michalak checked for the final time Linton checked. They turned their cards over and Linton saw the bad news.

Linton Finds Jacks

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Pete Linton has been on a rush of cards so far today and has seen pocket kings and queens already. Moments ago he found a pair of jacks in the hole and won a sizeable pot from it.

Gwendoline Janot opened to 240,000 only to Xavier El Fassy three-bet to 655,000. Linton then four-bet with {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} which saw Janot release her {A-Clubs}{7-Spades} but El Fassy called with the {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

The {5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Spades} flop was as good as Linton could have hoped for and when El Fassy checked Linton bet 770,000. El Fassy wasted little time in mucking his hand.

Juan Alban raised to 255,000 with {A-Spades}{J-Spades} preflop and Xavier El Fassy flat-called with {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} before Pete Linton made it 820,000 with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Both called to see a {5-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} but folded when Linton led for 970,000.

More Final Table Hands

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Jakub Michalak raised 250,000 with {k-Spades} {j-Diamonds} Alban called with {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} as did Xavier El Fassey with {7-Hearts} {7-Clubs}

Flop of {q-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {a-Clubs}

Michalak bet 350,000. Alban called and El Fassey folded.

{2-Spades} on the turn. Michalak checks and Alban wins with a bet of 450,000

Michalak has a lot of chips now and it looks like he plans on using them. He opened to 250,000 on the button with {2-Hearts} {5-Spades}.

Alban Juen in the small blind held {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} and raised to 685,000. No one wanted to play and the pot was his.

Nick Hicks raised to 250,000 with {a-Hearts} {q-Clubs} and Juen Alban called on the button with {2-Clubs} {2-Spades}. The blinds folded.

The flop was {q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}

Hicks bet 325,000 and Alban folded.

Linton Gets Kings Cracked

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

We have already seen pocket aces cracked and now we have seen pocket kings smashed to pieces.

Jakub Michalak opened to 250,000 with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and Alban Juen three-bet to 595,000 with {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. Pete Linton then woke up with {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and four-bet to 1,300,000! The pot was already huge when Michalak moved all in for 4,750,000 and grew larger still when Linton called!

The {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop gave Michalak outs to a Broadway straight, meaning Linton had to avoid improving to a set otherwise he would double Michalak up. The {3-Spades} on the turn was as safe as a card Linton could have hoped for, but the {K-Hearts} was the river card, completing a straight for Michalak and gifting the Pole a huge pot.

Janok 3-bets Linton

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Pete Linton opened for 250,000 with {A-Spades} {2-Hearts} and it folded around to Gwendoline Janok in the small blind.

Janok had {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} and 3-bet to 575,000. El Fassey folded his big blind and Linton snap folded giving her maximum respect.

Be Careful With Your Chips

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 15,000 ante

Gwendoline Janok min-raised to 240,000 and was called by Xavier El Fassey and Jakub Michalak in the big blind.

The flop was {10-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

Michalak checked and Janok took a stab at the pot with a bet of 350,000. El Fassey called and Michalak folded.

The turn was {8-Diamonds}

Janok checked and with the action on El Fassey he accidentally knocked some of his chips over and a few crossed the line. The tournament director ruled that he must make the minimum bet.

“Are you serious?” El Fassey asked, but accepted the ruling and the bet stood at 120,000. Janok couldn’t fold for that so we went to the river.

The {J-Clubs} came and El Fassey took the pot with a bet of 650,000
