Brewer Wins Three Pots in Quick Succession

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chris Brewer
Chris Brewer

On the tail end of a heads-up duel between Laszlo Bujtas and Chris Brewer, the latter had a bet of 100,000 paid off on the {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Hearts} when his {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for aces and fours were the best hand.

Brewer then opened to 25,000 from under the gun and Giuseppe Iadisernia called out of the big blind. The {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop was checked by Iadisernia and he folded to a bet. "I keep getting good hands," Brewer shrugged and exposed his cards to the table neighbour before the rest of the table was shown the {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}.

Last but not least, a battle of the blinds between Iadisernia and Brewer emerged. With some 100,000 in the middle to the {6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop, Iadisernia checked and Brewer bet 30,000. Iadisernia then check-raised to 120,000 only for Brewer to jam and force a fold.

Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

Jesse Lonis raised to 25,000 from early position and Tinay Aksoy called for less from the small blind, putting at risk his last 20,000. Michel Dattani also called from the big blind.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Dattani check-called a bet of 19,000 from Lonis.

The turn brought the {4-Spades} and was checked through to the {q-Hearts} river. Dattani checked again but Lonis fired a bet of 52,000 to which Dattani folded. Aksoy turned over {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a queen-high straight but that wasn't good enough at Lonis revealed {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for the king-high straight to scoop the main and side pot, ending Aksoy's tournament life.

Amiri Leaves Colillas Short

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Heads-up to the {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} turn, Ehsan Amiri checked his option and then faced a bet worth 60,000 by Ramon Colillas. The Spaniard had invested around one third of his remaining stack and then faced the all-in move by Amiri, which sent Colillas into a brief tank before folding.

Justin Zaki
Justin Zaki

Justin Zaki raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and Elias Gutierrez called from the button. The blinds got out of the way and action was heads up.

The flop was {2-Spades}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Zaki checked before Gutierrez shoved with more. Zaki looked at the clock to check for pay jumps, and then he used two time banks before he committed the last of his chips.

Justin Zaki: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Elias Gutierrez: {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board finished up {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}, with no help for Zaki, and he was out of the tournament.

Rocco Beaten Twice by Kolonias

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Alexandros Kolonias
Alexandros Kolonias

Alexandros Kolonias raised to 25,000 on the button and Michael Rocco came along out of the big blind. On a {q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop, Rocco checked and Kolonias was about to bet what appeared to be 45,000 but Rocco had already snap-folded.

One hand later, Kolonias made it 25,000 to go in the cutoff and Rocco came along in the small blind. The {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop was checked by Rocco, who subsequently check-raised from 25,000 to 79,000. Kolonias was undeterred and stuck around as both opted to check the {7-Hearts} turn.

Rocco then bet just 18,000 on the {3-Clubs} river and Kolonias instantly called to get shown {a-Spades}{7-Spades} for a busted nut flush draw and pair of sevens by Rocco. That was no good, however, as Kolonias claimed the pot with {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for top pair.
