Khamis Eliminated by Ayoub

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante
Ossama Khamis
Ossama Khamis

Jonas Kronwitter won a pot against Michael Rohde to chip up and a four-way pot emerged shortly after with 4,000 invested by Jules Ayoub on his second entry, Ossama Khamis and Rohde were also involved. Rohde in the big blind bet 2,100 on the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop and Ayoub check-called to then check down the {5-Spades} turn and {q-Hearts} river.

Ayoub flashed a set of nines and Rohde had the best of it with {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a straight.

Moments later, Khamis was all-in for 9,900 on zhr {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} turn and Ayoub called.

Ossama Khamis: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Jules Ayoub: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

The {k-Diamonds} on the river was a blank as Khamis departed.

"Can I rebuy and stay in this seat please?" Khamis inquired with the floorman.

Jachtmann Felts Ayoub

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante
Jules Ayoub
Jules Ayoub

Jan-Peter Jachtmann and Jules Ayoub know each other from various PLO tournament and cash game sessions, and it came as no surprise to see both go at each other early on.

The short-handed table brought three-way action to the {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts} turn on which Predrag Vulovic checked and Jachtmann bet 5,000. Ayoub check-raised the pot for 16,400 and Jachtmann was the only caller.

After the {8-Diamonds} river, Ayoub jammed for 17,600 and Jachtmann inquired "can I still think while I show my cards?" while then addressing Ayoub with a "after all that is your specialty".

"Do whatever you want," Ayoub replied and indeed Jachtmann turned over his {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades} already. It took nearly one and a half minutes until he made the call and Ayoub shook his head, flashing {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for counterfeited two pair and a busted fludhdraw.

Jachtmann Joins; Ayoub Short

Level 2 : 100/300, 0 ante

Jules Ayoub lost a bigger pot without showdown to Jan-Peter Jachtmann who had just taken a seat and ensured four players on the second table. Jachtmann flashed one card only which was the {q-Hearts} and then raked in the pot.

The blinds went up and Predrag Vulovic min-raised to 600. Willm Engelke three-bet to 1,600 in the small blind and Ayoub called from the big blind, as did Vulovic. The trio checked the {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop and Ayoub bet the {k-Spades} turn for 2,200 in order to force two folds.

Vulovic Shows a Bluff

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a heads-up turn of {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, Predrag Vulovic checked from early position and called a bet of 3,000 by Ossama Khamis. The {2-Spades} fell on the river and Vulovic checked once more. Khamis now made it 8,700 to go and Vulovic wasted little time before check-raising to 27,000.

Khamis reluctantly folded while saying "guess I gonna have to re-enter soon" to a friend on the rail. Vulovic flashed the {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades} and grinned "you gotta play the player and not the cards".

Engelke Rivers a Boat

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

With four-way action to the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop and 700 each invested, the action checked all the way to Ossama Khamis in the cutoff and he bet the pot for 2,800. Willm Engelke called as recent addition to the field on the button and Jules Ayoub came along too while Predrag Vulovic folded.

On the {k-Clubs} turn, Ayoub bet the pot for 11,200 and picked up two calls. The {5-Hearts} on the river was checked and Ayoub flashed {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the straight. Khamis flipped over {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Spades} for two pair and a busted flushdraw but Engelke had the best of it with {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a full house.

Khamis Takes One

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

The table banter between Ossama Khamis and Jules Ayoub has already kicked off and both clashed in a minor pot with just 1,500 in the middle. Ayoug had turned the nut straight and mucked his {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} on the river while Khamis tabled {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} for a pair that had improved to running diamonds for a flush.

"I saved money then," Ayoub conceded as he took a small hit early on.

First Table in Action

Level 1 : 100/200, 0 ante

There are 12 players registered but only five showed up thus far and took a seat. Jules Ayoub already casually inquired about the re-entry option as did Ossama Khamis. The field is expected to grow in the hours to come and two sessions of 90 minutes are scheduled for today.
