Mizzi Scores Massive Doubles Through Koon

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Sorel Mizzi
Sorel Mizzi

Sorel Mizzi (cutoff) was in the tank with 60,000 committed. He was facing a three-bet from Jason Koon in the small blind to about 250,000. After a few moments, Mizzi called to see a {Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop.

After asking how much Mizzi had behind (958,000), Koon continued for 255,000. Mizzi tanked for a bit before he raised all in. Koon called.

Mizzi: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Koon: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

MIzzi was ahead with a set of queens and held up through the {6-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river to score the sizable double up.

Vogelsang Over Seiver

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

On a board of {2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, Christoph Vogelsang checked over to Scott Seiver. Seiver reached for chips and moved 180,000 into the center of the table. Vogelsang called and the {4-Hearts} hit the river. Both players quickly checked and Vogelsang rolled over {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for fours and deuces with an ace. Seiver mucked his cards and Vogelsang was pushed the pot.

With this win, Vogelsang's stack is up to about 1.5 million while Seiver's has dropped to around 780,000.

A short-stacked Zach Hyman raised all in for about 130,000 from the hijack and a short-stacked Mike McDonald isolated with a shove of his own from the small blind.

Hyman held {A-}{Q-} against the pocket sevens of McDonald. A third seven hit the board and Hyman failed to catch up, securing the pot for McDonald.

Shakerchi Falls to Holz

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Talal Shakerchi
Talal Shakerchi

Fedor Holz raised to 50,000 from early position and it folded around to Talal Shakerchi on the button. He three-bet all in for what looked to be 231,000 and the blinds got out of the way. Holz called and the hands were turned up.

Holz: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Shakerchi: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

A {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} run out spelled disaster for Shakerchi, as he was unable to improve to best Holz's ace-queen high. Shakerchi made his way to the rail while Holz boosted his stack to about 1.25 million.

The Beautiful Views of the West Side

Level 15 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

During the 2015 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure we took some time to explore the Bahamas and ended up on the West side. The beautiful Compass Point was kind enough to let us in as we explored their beach-side restaurant with the fitting ocean view.

Koon Eliminated by Mizzi

Level 16 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Jason Koon - Eliminated
Jason Koon - Eliminated

Sorel Mizzi opened the action with a raise to 60,000 from under the gun. Jason Koon moved all in for 181,000 from two seats over and action folded all of the way back to the original opener. Mizzi instantly called and rolled over {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}. Koon tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and was in dire need of improvement to stay alive.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Mizzi's rockets remained in the lead. The {Q-Hearts} paired the board on fourth street, but it was the ever-elusive third ten that Koon was looking for to stay alive. Unfortunately for Koon, the {4-Diamonds} completed the board and he was eliminated from play. Mizzi increased his chip lead to about 2.8 million.
