The Turn Scares Off Kruk

Level 10 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The action was limped around to Darren Elias in the big blind who raised it up to 200,000. Christopher Kruk was the only player to call from the hijack as the dealer fanned the flop of {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}.

Elias led out for 150,000 and Kruk stuck around to see the {a-Spades} on the turn. Elias reached back for a bet of 450,000 and Kruk tossed his cards to the muck as he mumbled about the poor turn card for his hand.

Meanwhile, on the other outer table, Chance Kornuth and Roberto Romanello got all of their chips in the middle preflop with Romanello being the one at risk. Kornuth tabled ace-king against Romanello's ace-queen. The board ran out clean for Kornuth and Romanello was sent to the rail.

MacDonnell Goes to Value Town

Level 10 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Marc MacDonnell opened to 85,000 from early position and Chance Kornuth defended his big blind. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Kornuth check-called a bet of 70,000 from MacDonnell.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {j-Spades} on the river. Kornuth checked for the third time and MacDonnell tossed out a small bet of 155,000. Kornuth paid him off and MacDonnell tabled {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the bottom end of a straight to scoop the pot.

Romanello Flops Quads to Double Up

Level 9 : 15,000/35,000, 35,000 ante

Roberto Romanello was under the gun and pushed all in for 460,000. He was called by Bartlomiej Machon on the button and the two players were coin flipping for stacks.

Roberto Romanello: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Bartlomiej Machon: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{5-Spades} giving Romanello quad jacks and Machon was already drawing dead. The {10-Clubs} and {8-Hearts} completed the board and Romanello earned himself a full double up.

Blom Triples Up

Level 8 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Viktor Blom burned through his first bullet earlier in the day and wasn't having much luck with second entry either. The online phenom was down to just 330,000 and pushed all in from middle position. Manig Loeser was in the hijack and shipped all in over the top for 480,000. Alex Foxen called from the small blind and the three hands were tabled.

Viktor Blom: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Manig Loeser: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Alex Foxen: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} and although Loeser was still out front with a pair of kings, Blom picked up an open-ended straight draw. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} locking up the main pot for Blom. The {j-Clubs} on the river allowed Loeser to win the small side pot of just 300,000.

Alex Foxen opened with a raise to 65,000 and Pascal Lefrancois three-bet in position to 180,000. The action folded back around to Foxen who shipped all in for 915,000. Lefrancois made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Alex Foxen: {6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Pascal Lefrancois: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} and Foxen spiked a six on the river to double up and stay alive on his second bullet of the day.
