Patel Bets for Max Value

LisaY

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

All the cards were out with on show. Jai Patel was first to act and he moved all in for 50,500, which was a pot-sized bet. Getnet Kassa was the only player in with him and a call would be for his all in. He used a time-bank card to give himself an extra 30 seconds of thinking time before deciding to let his hand go.

Jai Patel turned over for a straight flush, to the amusement of his tablemates. When Mark Barlow asked Kassa what he folded, he told him .

Yong in the Field

LisaY

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Christopher Yong has just taken a seat. A regular face on the UK poker scene and with $366,934 in cashes to his name, Yong will certainly be one to watch, even if he only started with a 19 big blind stack.

Avila Chip Leader

LisaY

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

It is a tale of opposing fortunes for Juan Avila and Jai Patel. Since getting moved Table 2, Patel has been on a downward trajectory, while things are going from strength to strength for tablemate Avila.

Just now Avila added more to his already impressive stack. He had opened the action on the cutoff and Patel three-bet to 15,800. After Avila called, they saw a flop. Patel continued for 15,000 but elected to fold when Avila set him all in.

Hegedus, Kassa and Miro in Three-Handed All In

LisaY

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

PokerNews was alerted to a big hand brewing over on Table 1. High-tailing it over to the back of the room in time to see three players all in and the dealer busily separating the pots.

What had unfolded was that Gabor Hegedus had opened to 4,000 and was flat called by Sami Miro. Getnet Kassa three-bet all in for 16,000. After Hegedus flat called, Miro went over the top again and Hegedus overcalled.

Gabor Hegedus:
Getnet Kassa:
Sami Miro:

There were only two live cards between them but Hegedus and Kassa found one on the flop. The turn brought a gutshot for Kassa but the river didn't oblige him. He is down to fumes, whilst Kassa and Hegedus both profit from the main and side pots respectively.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gabor Hegedus	72,000 30,000	30,000
Getnet Kassa	54,000 7,000	7,000
Sami Miro	7,200 7,200	7,200

Miro Out

LisaY

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After losing most of his chips last hand, Sami Miro moved all in over a raise and a flat call. The big blind came along before the two early position players joined them, giving Miro the chance to quadruple his stack.

On the flop, Leendert Van De Geer moved all in when checked to and the other two players stepped asided.

Leendert Van De Geer:
Sami Miro:

Miro was a long way behind and couldn't recover on the turn or river. Taking it all in his stride, he left the table smiling as he headed towards the door.
