Mawick Cracks Kirschblum

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With around 30,000 in the middle on a board of 6♣2♥2♦7♦, Carsten Mawick had fired out an overbet of 50,000, covering Nir Kirschblum's remaining stack of around 45,000.

Kirschblum had his hand to his head, and was in the blender, looking pained. After around another 40 seconds of thought, Kirschblum called.

Nir Kirschblum: A♦Q♣ All in
Carsten Mawick: A♠6♠

Kirschblum had went for the hero-call with only the board pair of deuces, and only had three outs versus Mawick's two pair.

The J♦ river was a brick, and Mawick scooped a monster pot.

Richard Hayes

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Carsten Mawick was runner-up in this event last year, and he's back hoping to go one better this time around.

Nir Kirschblum opened to 1,500 from the hijack, and received a call from Keith Smith in the cutoff, before Mawick produced a three-bet to 4,100 from the button.

Both of his opponents called, and both promptly check-folded on the A♦Q♥9♠ flop in the face of a bet of 7,000 from Mawick.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Lan Ly was getting up out of her chair with a look of shock on her face, and her stack was being passed to Jack Dyminski.

Ly had 10♦10♠ against Dyminski's 6♣5♣, who flopped a huge combo draw on 9♥3♣2♣.

All the money went in, and despite missing his draws, the pot still went to Dyminski after he went runner-runner for two pair on the 5♥6♥ runout.
