Sammut Takes Haverkamp Out

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Clint Sammut
Clint Sammut

Francesco Cortorillo raised to 5,500 from mid-position and was called by Clint Sammut in the cutoff. Ronald Haverkamp shoved all in from the big blind and Cortorillo asked for a count. The dealer confirmed Haverkamp had 16,200 behind. Cortorillo grabbed his bet back and decided to four-bet to 35,000. Sammut took a few seconds before announcing he was also all-in. Cortorillo asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Sammut had 84,900 in total. Cortorillo took some time before deciding to give his hand up.

"You have pocket sixes?" Sammut asked Haverkamp.

"Off course!" Haverkamp replied before flipping over {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} indeed.

Sammut jumped up from his seat "I don't even care if I lose this now, I put you on sixes and I was right!"

Sammut himself held {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.

"I had fives," Cortorillo said with relief showing all over his face.

Some of the other players of the other tables came over to see what was happening on this table as the dealer ran out the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{a-Spades} on the flop.

"Split pot," Sammut said.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} which didn't change the situation as Sammut was still ahead.

The river completed the board with the {3-Hearts} and Haverkamp and Sammut wished each other good luck as Haverkamp left the table.

Leinberg Doubles Through Davey

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 4,000 ante

Raigo Leinberg shoved from the cutoff for 14,300 and was called by Daragh Davey in the big blind.

Raigo Leinberg: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Daragh Davey: {8-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The flop came {2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} to give Davey a pair of deuces but Leinberg was still ahead on the way to a double-up.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} to give them both two pair, Leinberg needed to avoid another deuce to secure the double-up and the {5-Spades} on the river didn't provide any danger for Leinberg.

Wilczynski Takes Jorstad Out

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 4,000 ante
Espen Uhlen Jorstad
Espen Uhlen Jorstad

Espen Uhlen Jorstad raised to 6,000 from under the gun and Michal Wilczynski three-bet to 16,500 from the hijack. Action folded back to Jorstad who counted out his stack and then decided to shove for 78,500 in total, Wilczynski called almost immediately.

Espen Uhlen Jorstad: {A-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Michal Wilczynski: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The flop came {k-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} for Wilczynski to hit a set of kings immediately. Jorstad needed to hit a runner-runner straight or flush to stay alive.

The turn was the {q-Diamonds} which meant that Jorstad was drawing dead and the {8-Diamonds} on the river was just a formality to complete the board. Jorstad might be back tomorrow for Day 1B.
