Kanit Chipping Up

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was caught on the turn with 17,600 in the pot on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board. Pascal Hartmann checked in the hijack and Mustapha Kanit did the same on his direct left.

Hartmann checked again when the {q-Hearts} river hit the felt. Kanit then bet 18,500 to put Hartmann to the test as he had around 18,700 in his stack. Hartmann gave it up and Kanit scooped in the pot.

Early Exit for Zinno on Day 1a

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Anthony Zinno was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and a quick look at his former table confirmed the elimination of the multiple WSOP bracelet and WPT Main Event winner. According to Zinno, he had opened to 800 and Kitty Kuo three-bet to 4,000. The shove by Zinno for almost the starting stack was called by Kuo as they were flipping with the {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for Zinno and {a-}{k-} for Kuo.

A jack-high flop with three clubs kept Zinno marginally ahead but Kuo hit an ace on turn and river.

Eliot Hudon
Eliot Hudon

Eliot Hudon was already all-in with side action happening on a {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop between Alberto Meran and Joao Simao. Meran bet 4,000 and Simao reluctantly called.

After the {3-Clubs} turn, Meran bet another 10,000 and Simao tank-folded.

Eliot Hudon: {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Alberto Meran: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

The {7-Clubs} river didn't matter anymore as Hudon had locked up the triple up with trips.

Action was three ways to a flop. Michael Gathy was in the hijack against Erik Seidel on the button and Artur Martirosian in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} and action checked to Gathy who bet 1,600. Seidel called before Martirosian raised to 7,000. Only Seidel stuck around with a call.

The turn came the {2-Hearts} and Martirosian bet 9,000. Seidel thought for a bit before folding.

Coleman Calls for Tournament Life

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was 17,600 in the pot on the {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts} board in a hand between David Coleman and Jonathan Proudfoot.

Coleman checked for the small blind before Proudfoot put in a small bet of 1,600. Coleman called.

On the {2-Clubs} river, Proudfoot put Coleman all-in for his tournament life. Coleman called off his last 15,000 and the players tabled their hands.

Proudfoot had the {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} while Coleman had the {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} which meant the pot was shared.

Sitbon Wins A Pot; Loses a Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Johan Guilbert raised to 1,000 and was called by Kannapong Thanarattrakul. Julien Sitbon three-bet to 3,100 in the cutoff and Guilbert reluctantly folded after nearly three minutes while Thanarattrakul called instantly. On the {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Thanarattrakul check-called a bet worth 2,100 and then checked the {2-Spades} turn with a short stack behind.

Sitbon bet 7,000, exactly as many chips as Thanarattrakul had behind, and the Thai folded.

In the next hand, Chris Oliver opened and called a three-bet to 2,200 by Sitbon. Heading to the {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, Oliver check-jammed into a bet worth 2,100 and Sitbon let go.
