Sassen Unlucky

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

With a disappointed look on his face, Michael Sassen walked up to the payout desk. We still dared to ask him what had happened, and he was friendly enough to fill us in.

The cutoff had opened and Sassen had defended his big blind with {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}. The flop came a beautiful {2-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Sassen checked. His opponent bet 12,000 and Sassen check-raised to 35,000. His opponent shoved and Sassen called for 200,000 total.

Sassen, with his flopped flush, was up against {A-Clubs}{K-}. The turn brought a {X-Clubs} to the board and Sassen was instantly drawing dead he told us.

"Nothing really worked out today" Sassen told us, "This hand could've brought me back in, but it wasn't meant to be."

Another Huge Pot Between Zoufri and Brosky

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Yesterday, Michiel Brosky and Abdelhakim Zoufri played a huge pot with Zoufri six-betting and Brosky folding in a battle of the blinds. This time, it went the other way around.

Zoufri opened and Artur Koren, from the cutoff, three-bet to 40,000. Michiel Brosky four-bet from the button to 106,000 and both blinds folded. Zoufri five-bet to 191,000 and Koren folded. Brosky moved all in for 387,000 and Zoufri folded after some time in the tank.

Carrel Value Bets His Flush

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

From the hijack, Charlie Carrel opened to 20,000. Jonathan Rozema called from the cutoff and Dennis Bijen called from the big blind.

Bijen checked on {K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{5-Spades} and Carrel made a 27,000-continuation bet. Rozema folded, Bijen called.

Both checked the {K-Spades} on the turn before the {10-Spades} completed the board. Bijen checked and Carrel bet 55,000. Bijen called by tossing in a single chip, but soon had to add the rest. Carrel, with a hopeful but unsure look on his face, showed {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades} and Bijen flashed the {7-Spades} before mucking.

Bendik Doubles Coulier

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

Action folded to Arne Coulier in the small blind and he pushed for a little under 140,000. Big blind Jan Bendik called with {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Coulier needed to hit to stay alive with {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Coulier did exactly that; hit! The board ran out {Q-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Bendik moved some chips over to his right.
