Mihajlovski Takes From Janas

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Manuel Janas
Manuel Janas

Around 20,000 was in the middle on a flop of A53, in a hand between Oliver Mihajlovski under the gun and Manuel Janas in the big blind.

Janas led out with a bet of 9,500, and Mihajlovski called.

The 9 hit on the turn, and Janas, sporting a fetching 1970s retro Werder Bremen top, took at least 90 seconds to think before checking.

Mihajlovski quickly fired out a bet of 23,000. Janas went into the tank, but ultimately let it go.

"Queens?" enquired Janas, and Mihajlovski smiled and nodded.

Nicola Dilluvio was all-in for 28,000 and at risk versus Sami Elamawy.

Nicola Dilluvio: AQ All in
Sameh Elamawy: J9

Dilluvio was in good shape, and the KQ7 flop gave him second pair, and Elamawy a gutshot and backdoors.

However the 58 turn and river were bricks, and Dilluvio scooped the double-up.

Briscoe-White Recounts Brutal Cooler

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jonathan Briscoe-White
Jonathan Briscoe-White

Jonathan Briscoe-White recounted to PokerNews how he amassed his stack.

In the last hand before the break, Briscoe-White opened to 1,500 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 4,700 from Dominik Holzmuller. Briscoe-White pumped it up to 19,000 and Holzmuller called.

On the A43 flop, Briscoe-White continued with a bet of 15,000, and Holzmuller jammed for around 45,000, with Briscoe-White making the call.

Dominik Holzmuller: AK All in
Jonathan Briscoe-White: AK

It looked to be a chop, but the poker gods were shining on Briscoe-White as he went runner-runner for the flush with the 105 runout.
