A Big One for Carr

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
Paul Carr
Paul Carr

After a three-bet out of the small blind, Paul Carr continued for 135,000 on the {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop and his sole remaining opponent Matous Houzivek called. The {6-Clubs} fell on the turn and Carr checked, Houzivek bet 180,000 and was called.

The duo checked again the {4-Spades} river and Carr turned over {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds} to claim the pot. Carr has almost two times the average and the other bigger stack at the table is Joris Ruys.

Just an Ordinary Table

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

Christian Nilles became a big stack on his table when flat-calling a shove for 270,000 before another player behind him reshoved for 550,000. Nilles snapped it off with aces and bested the two opponents, who held pocket nines and pocket tens.

What followed was rather unfortunate for the German, who already faced Stephen Chidwick, Stefan Schillhabel and Tamer Kamel on that table. Martin Kabrhel took the first vacated seat, and the other was filled by Igor Kurganov.

Kurganov and Kabrhel got into a hand and the latter started his usual table talk, while Kurganov played the game. "Nice hair like usual Igor. How do you want to play this heads up?" Kabrhel asked after he raised to 45,000 and was called by Kurganov on the button.

"I want to win a big pot," the Russian replied and the flop fell {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Kabrhel checked, Kurganov bet 42,000 and Kabrhel folded with the words "you got it." Kurganov smiled and said "I got half of what I wanted" and this table will likely provide plenty of fireworks.

Someone Got Lucky

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
Will Kassouf and Kevin Killeen
Will Kassouf and Kevin Killeen

With 325,000 in the pot Will Kassouf faced a 230,000 bet from opponent Michael Cummings on a {10-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board. Kassouf was unusually quiet while thinking but started talking about a minute into his decision.

"Do you have the eight? Did you really hit your gutshot? I think you got lucky on the turn", Kassouf said and folded his hand.
"No, you got lucky on the turn", Cummings replied while flashing the {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the flopped straight.
"Ya, I really wanted to call down with nine-high like a boss", Kassouf shot back, which got a few laughs around the table though nobody really seemed to understand what he was talking about.

Kassouf is still doing fine, though, with his stack close to two million.

Becker Sniffs Out the Bluff

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
Boris Becker
Boris Becker

Vahid Amirzahari bet out 45,000 on a {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop and Partypoker Ambassador Boris Becker made the call. Both players checked the {4-Hearts} turn before Amirzahari went for an overbet on the {10-Clubs} river. With around 165,000 in the pot Amirzahari went with a bet of a cool quarter of a million, but didn't get quite the reaction he was hoping for as Becker relatively quickly made the call.

Amirzahari slowly turned over the {A-Spades} prompting Becker to flash {10-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for a rivered top pair. That was enough to drag the pot, and the former number one tennis player in the world chipped up to almost 1,5 million chips.

Egan Preserves Stack

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante

Peter Ryder raised and picked up the call by Lee Egan from one seat over in the cutoff. On the {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, both players checked and Ryder then bet the {A-Diamonds} turn for 42,000. Egan called and then faced a second bet worth 75,000 after the {J-Hearts} river. That proved to be too much, and the Irishman folded.

Ryder boosted his stack to around 1.1m, while Egan is well above average.

That's Not What "Show One, Show All" Means

Level 25 : 8,000/16,000, 1,500 ante
Dominik Nitsche
Dominik Nitsche

Dominik Nitsche raised it up to 35,000, Sebastian Skurzynski made the call and Michal Danka made it 125,000 to go two seats behind him. Back on Nitsche he four-bet to 280,000, Skurzynski folded and soon after Danka's hand found the muck as well.

Nitsche took one last peak at his hand before letting it go, prompting a comment from Phil Mighall.

"Why do you only show yourself? Show one, show all", he said with a grin, but the dealer didn't quite agree on that interpretation of the rule, and Nitsche's hand remained a mystery.
