"I'm All Out"

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

John Vella raised to 1,300 from the early position and Steven Watts three-bet to 3,000 in the cutoff. Vella called before Lasse Ovre had made a decision in the big blind. This was pointed out to Vella and Ovre took some time to consider his options before folding.

Vella then checked in the dark as the {5-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop was dealt.

"I'm all in," Watts responded.

"I'm all out," Vella replied and then folded.

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.

Mantas Petrauskas: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Ina Pavlova: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades} for Pavlova to hold with the pocket sixes and make a full house to eliminate Petrauskas.

One Win, One Loss for Soulier

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Fabrice Soulier raised to 2,600 from under the gun and was called by Kyle Pullicino on the button and Dante Peykar and Dan Olin in the blinds.

They all checked through the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop to the {k-Spades} on the turn. Peykar and Olin checked again, Soulier bet 3,000 and only Pullicino made the call in the end. The river completed the board with the {4-Spades}, Soulier bet 7,000 and Pullicino called after taking some time to go through his options. Soulier tabled {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and that was enough to take down the pot.

The hand after, Peykar raised to 4,000 from the button and Soulier defended his big blind.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}, Soulier check-called the 4,000 continuation-bet but check-folded to the 10,000 bet of Peykar on the {7-Clubs} on the turn.
