Kabbaj Undecided

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Shortly after the field returned from dinner, John Kabbaj entered the tournament area and looked around as if trying to make up his mind whether to play or not. Usually the Brit and two times WSOP bracelet winner primarily focused on cash games as mixed specialist, but may consider to jump into the action

Banicevic Folds to Shove

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Arriving on the {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} turn, the player in the small blind led for what looked like 4,500 and Vlado Banicevic raised to 11,700 from middle position. His opponent wasted little time in moving all in with the superior stack and Banicevic eventually mucked to leave himself just below starting stack.

Vos Folds

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

On the three-way flop of {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}, a Dutch regular known as Vladimir bet 1,700 and Pascal Vos as well as a third player call to see the {9-Spades} on the turn. Vladimir's next bet was worth 3,600 and Vos called that before the short stack shoved for 12,000. Vladimir only flat-called with pocket aces and Vos folded, the all in player had the {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a set.

The river was a blank and Vladimir was cut down by half throughout the hand.

The Standard Continuation Bet

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Cheng-Wei Yin and Matas Cimbolas called a raise to 750 and then gave up the flop {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} flop to a continuation bet.

Timothy Adams had the very same idea and raised to 750 the next hand, picking up two callers including Michiel Brummelhuis in the blinds. The flop came {5-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and again the initial raiser got through with a simple continuation bet.

Finger Above Starting Stack

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Before the dinner break, Martin Finger was down to less than half the starting stack and that has since changed for the better. On the {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} board he fired all three streets and was called for 2,700 on the turn and 6,800 on the river. The German flipped over {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} for trips kings and that won the pot.

At the same table is also Micha Hoedemaker with an above-average stack as well.

Watts and Miller on Track

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Matthew Miller raised to 700 and was called by the player from one seat over before Yuguang Li squeezed to 2,700. Miller and the third player both called and headed to the flop {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{2-Spades}. Li's continuation bet for 2,700 was called by Miller only before both checked down the {10-Clubs} turn and the {K-Hearts} river.

"Come on man," Miller complained and flashed his {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a set of tens. Li claimed to have had ace-king, but Miller clearly said he didn't believe that story. The American is back on track in terms of the stack size and the same applies for Steve Watts as well. Tom Hall just entered again after busting Day 1a and took the nine seat on the table.
