Wunscher Starts His Spin Up

Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Phillip Wunscher had lost a few big pots and was left with just 25,000. He ended up getting all-in preflop with Tom Vogelsang trying to finish him off from the blinds just before the dinner break.

Phillip Wunscher: K♣10♦7♠6♣ All in
Tom Vogelsang: J♥5♦3♦3♠

Wunscher managed to end up with the best hand on the 4♥7♥2♣Q♣9♣ runout by improving to a flush.

Wunscher was up to around 50,000 and perhaps this was the start of his spin-up in the Main Event.

On a completed board of A♥10♠6♣10♣5♣, Vincent Khoueiry was deep in the tank and burning through all of his time banks while standing up from the table.

Khoueiry had checked from the blinds and Luuk van den Belt had bet 190,000 from the button, for roughly the size of the pot. After around two minutes of tanking and having exhausted all of his time banks, Khoueiry slammed in the call for the majority of his stack.

Van den Belt turned over K♠Q♠10♦8♥ for trip tens and lost the pot to Khoueiry's J♣J♥10♥2♣ for a backdoor flush.

On a flop of 4♦J♣3♥,and with about 150,000 in the pot, Basem Abudavas jammed from the small blind for just under pot. Lautaro Guerra moved in over the top from middle position, and Espen Myrmo called both all-ins with the covering stack from the button.

Basem Abudavas: A♠A♦Q♠3♣ All in
Lautaro Guerra: J♠9♠8♥7♣ All in
Espen Myrmo: K♣6♥4♣4♠

Myrmo was ahead with a set of fours, but a lot could change with two cards to come.

The 6♣ came on the turn and the A♣ arrived on the river. Abudavas improved to a higher set, but it was still second best to Myrmo's nut flush.

Abudavas and Guerra headed to the rail, while Myrmo's stack grew to almost two million. Guerra has reentered and is sitting with a fresh starting stack of 250,000.

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 20,000 from the hijack with Quan Zhou calling on the button, and Aku Joentausta defending from the big blind.

All three checked the Q♣10♣Q♦ flop to see a 4♥ roll out on the turn. After two more checks, Zhou bet 29,000, which only Bujtas called.

Check, check came after the 5♦ river and Bujtas showed J♦10♦9♣7♣ or a pair of tens. Zhou tabled K♠K♣6♠2♥ for a pair of kings and he was awarded the pot.

On a flop of 7♣3♠J♦, all of Dafishh's chips of roughly 80,000 got into the middle with Jelle de Kroon trying to win them.

Dafishh:Q♥Q♦10♣8♦ All in
Jelle de Kroon: J♣10♥9♣5♣

Dafishh was already up and out of his seat, perhaps anticipating defeat. But the dealer had other ideas, putting out the K♥ on the turn and the A♦ to complete the board, giving Dafishh the nut straight.

Dafishh survived and doubled to around 200,000, while De Kroon still had approximately 350,000 remaining.
