Kuhl Busts to Kyte; Houman Stays Alive

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Vera Kuhl
Vera Kuhl

Robert Blaauwgeers raised to 2,300 from the cutoff and Vera Kuhl shoved on the button for 16,600. Jon Kyte called in the big blind while Blaauwgeers folded.

Vera Kuhl: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Jon Kyte: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The flop came {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{q-Hearts} with the nine in the window and for both of them to flop a pair. Kyte was still ahead with the higher pair though. The rest of the board was completed with the {7-Diamonds} on the turn and the {k-Clubs} on the river for Kyte to send Kuhl to the rail.

The hand after, Philippe Houman was all-in for his last 100 from the early position. Hrvoje Magzan raised from the button and was called by William Mitchell in the big blind. Houman was playing a pot of 1,400 in total.

The flop came {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}, Mitchell bet 3,500 and that was enough to get Magzan out of the way for the cards to go on their backs.

Philippe Houman: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
William Mitchell: {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Houman was ahead with the higher hole cards.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} for Houman to hit top pair. He only needed to avoid a nine and he did as the {q-Hearts} completed the board on the river to stay alive.
