Fletcher's Kicker No Good

Level 6 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Arran Fletcher
Arran Fletcher

Arran Fletcher has just been eliminated by Orpen Kisacikoglu and Kisacikoglu was kind enough to relate to the PokerNews team what had happened:

"I raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and he called in the big blind.

The flop was {9-}{x-}{x-}, he checked, I c-bet, he called.

The turn was the {k-Spades}, we both checked.

The river was another {9-}. He checked, I made it 70,000, he raised to 210,000 and I put him all-in. He called. I showed {a-}{9-}, he only showed the {9-} and mucked the other card."Flecter

Atkins Turns a Flush

Level 6 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
James Atkins
James Atkins

Ben Dobson raised to 35,000 from the early position and was called by Tolga Istek in the hijack and James Atkins in the cutoff.

The flop came {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{j-Spades}, Dobson check-folded to Istek's bet of 82,000 and Atkins called.

The turn brought them the {a-Spades}, Istek barreled another 132,000 over the line. Atkins took a few seconds and then made the call.

The {k-Hearts} on the river completed the board. Istek continued with another bet, but now for 118,000. Atkins looked at his stack and decided to raise to 445,000. Istek called but mucked his hand immediately when Atkins turned {k-Spades}{q-Spades} around for the turned nut-flush.

Level 7 : 9,000/18,000, 18,000 ante
Erik Friberg
Erik Friberg

Erik Friberg couldn't be found in his seat anymore and Yani Yanev was kind enough to tell the PokerNews live reporting team that it went all-in pre-flop.

Serkan Ersoy held {a-}{q-} and Friberg had {q-}{q-}. Ersoy hit the ace on the turn to eliminate Friberg. Yanev also said that Ersoy only had two outs as he had folded an ace already.
