Held's Bullying Earns Nickname "Donald Trump"

Chris Bean
Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Niklas Held bet 16,000 from the button and was met with a raise from Ali Fazeli in the small bind for 41,000.

Held responded by moving all in and comfortably covered Fazeli. The American asked "Can I still rebuy?" and used two time bank chips after it was confirmed he could.

Fazeli was tempted to call but, decided against it and Held added to his massive stack. Fazeli nicknamed Held "Donald Trump" as he just kept getting richer. One of the table mates pointed to Held's four huge columns of chips and said "Trump Towers!"

Action was on the turn on a board of 9♥K♥K♠3♦ and Akin Tuna's opponent across the table pushed out a large bet of 200,000, which Tuna called.

On the 10♠ river, the other player moved all in and Tuna called for 178,000. His opponent showed A♠Q♥ for a bluff. Tuna had K♦9♦ for a flopped full house to scoop in the massive double up.

Charbel Salloum had his opponent all in preflop. Salloum had the covering stack as players flipped their cards.

Charbel Salloum: A♠K♠ All in
Opponent: A♣A♥

Salloum had run into aces, and the 9♥Q♠5♠ flop gave him little to work with. The 6♠ gave Salloum a flush draw and the 8♠ completed the flush. Charbel Salloum cracked aces and sent his opponent to the exit.

"I LOVE THIS GAME!" Salloum shouted at the top of his voice, and the room rang out with laughter. Some players even cheered.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

"Aysar Aysar" had a huge bet of 240,000 in the middle preflop after players had raised and reraised. The small and big blind folded, then the under the gun player called.

The flop came 5♥7♠6♥ and the under the gun player checked. Aysar pushed all in for his remaining 320,000 chips. His opponent called. Aysar had Q♠Q♥ for an overpair. The under the gun player had 3♥3♠ and was badly behind.

The turn came the 3♦ and the under the gun player made a set of threes, much to Aysar's dismay. The river, however, was the 4♦, putting a straight on the board for the chop.

"Why did you call with threes?" asked Aysar loudly. "You have big balls!"

Action was on the river on a board of A♠6♠4♠Q♥4♦ and Anton Wigg had shoved nearly all in for around 260,000, leaving himself a single chip behind. Xuan Liu was deep in the tank facing the bet, which was worth around 2x the pot. She eventually folded and Wigg pulled in the pot.
