Zinno Stacks Kempe on Day's First Hand

simkha

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Anthony Zinno raised to 5,500 from early position and Rainer Kempe, who had just reentered for the start of Day 2, shoved from the small blind. Zinno called to put Kempe at risk and the two players tabled their hands.

Kempe:

Kempe was racing for his stack and needed help from the deck to survive. Zinno extended his lead when he hit a set on the flop, the turn and river changed nothing, and Zinno took the pot to end Kempe's tournament.

Aces vs Kings

Adam Lamers

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Dimitar Danchev opened to 5,000 from the hijack and Christopher Kruk three-bet to 15,000 on the button. Javier Gomez Zapatero made a four-bet to 40,000 from the small blind and the action was back on Danchev. He announced a five-bet shove for 123,800 and it was now Kruk's turn to play a little Hollywood. After asking for a count, and then counting his own chips, Kruk pushed the last of his 104,700 chips into the middle as well. Zapatero folded with a shake of his head and the remaining two hands were tabled.

It was no surprise to see two big hands, Danchev with and Kruk with . The board ran out and Kruk's pocket aces held up to leave Danchev with just crumbs.

Within the next couple hands, Danchev was seen exiting the tournament area as his run has come to an end.

Greenberg Pushing Back

[user270022]

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Larry Greenberg opened to 5,100 from middle position only to see Isaac Haxton three-bet on the button, making it 15,300 to go. Greenberg took no time pumping it up with a four-bet to 50,000 and Haxton quickly released his cards to the muck.
