Tjauw-Foe Takes One Out

Level 11 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The player in early position raised to 115,000 and Clyde Tjauw-Foe was next to act. Tjauw-Foe three-bet to 425,000 and action folded back to his only opponent left. He decided to call.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, Tjauw-Foe's opponent bet 250,000 and Tjauw-Foe called.

The turn brought them the {2-Clubs}, now his opponent bet 575,000 and Tjauw-Foe called again.

The river completed the board with the {9-Spades}, the initial raiser now shoved for about 700,000 and Tjauw-Foe snap-called. Tjauw-Foe tabled {q-Clubs}{q-Spades} for two pair, queens and nines. His opponent had to show the {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the failed bluff and was sent to the rail.

Damico and Burstein Split

Level 11 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Honglin Jiang raised to 90,000 from the button and was called by Vladimir Burstein in the small blind. Luciano Damico, sitting in the big blind, three-bet to 255,000. Jiang considered his options but then decided to fold. Burstein called.

The flop came {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, Burstein check-called the 500,000 bet of Damico.

The turn brought them the {J-Clubs} on which they both checked. The river completed the board with the {K-Hearts}, Burstein unhappily checked once more as the board completed the straight draw. So did Damico. Burstein tabled {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for the flopped straight even though it didn't really matter any more. Damico showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for the flopped two pair.

Metaal Wins a Big One

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

Govert Metaal is sitting at the same table as Patrick Clarke who has already managed to collect over 5,000,000 in chips. Seated on his direct left is Russell Thomas who has a bit of a smaller stack than he started with.

Metaal said he had won a hand earlier with eight-ten offsuit in the small blind in which he had limped in.

The flop came {10-}{10-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, Metaal bet 30,000 and his opponent called.

They both checked through the {4-Clubs} on the turn which completed the flush-draw. The river completed the board with a blank. Metaal checked once more, his opponent bet 75,000. Metaal raised to 225,000 and his opponent responded with a shove of 725,000 in total. Metaal didn't believe his opponent and called. Metaal's trip tens was more than enough to beat the {k-}{j-} of his opponent.
