Everyone Loves a Chop Pot

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

John Dibella raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and Rodrigo Cordoba defended from the big blind to see the {9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop.

Cordoba check-called a bet of 85,000 and the check-called a bet of 135,000 on the {Q-Diamonds} turn. Action then went check-check on the {K-Spades} river and Cordoba showed the {a-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, which was good enough to chop with Dibella's {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Glæsel Gets There

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Aleksei Opalikhin and Rasmus Glæsel have been getting involved in plenty of situations at the outer table in the Main Event, and clashed again just now.

Glæsel made it 75,000 to go from the small blind and Opalikhin called in the big blind. The flop of {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} provoked a repeat bet and call, before a check from Glæsel on the {4-Clubs} turn saw Opalikhin bet 130,000. Glæsel called.

The river of {K-Hearts} saw both players check and Glæsel said 'Sorry' as he showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and took the pot.

Allon Allison: {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}
Aleksei Opalikhin: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {3-Spades}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Allison doubled up.

Pocket Rockets for Christian Harder... Again!

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Rodrigo Cordoba raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and then called when Christian Harder three-bet to 180,000 from the button.

Cordoba proceeded to check-call bets of 140,000 and 265,000 on the {2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop and {5-Hearts} turn respectively, and then checked for a third time on the {7-Clubs} river.

Harder kept the pressure on with a big bet of 530,000, ad Cordoba hit the tank before making the call. Harder rolled over the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, and Cordoba sent his hand to the muck.

Allison and Vela

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Vela made it 50,000 on a flop of {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and saw Allon Allison raise all-in for 800,000.

"Only 750 to me, then? Flush draw? ? asked Vela, before eventually folding. It was his last hand before being moved to the feature table to balance things up with just ten players remaining.

Michael Bartholomew

After Michael Gentili raised to 65,000 under the gun, Michael Bartholomew three-bet all in for 915,000 from the cutoff. Christian Harder then four-bet all in over the top from the small blind, and Gentili got out of the way.

Harder: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}
Bartholomew: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Harder woke up with pocket rockets, and they sent Bartholomew to the rail after the board ran out a clean {3-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Marcin Kapkowski

Marcin Kapkowski raised to 65,000 under the gun and action folded to Michael Gentili in the big blind. The chip leader pushed back with a three-bet to 210,000, and Kapkowski called to see the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop.

Gentili led out for 240,000, Kapkowski moved all in for 835,000, and Gentili called.

Kapkowski: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
Gentili: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Kapkowski was in desperate need of a five, but he was left wanting as the {3-Clubs} blanked on the turn followed by the {9-Clubs} on the river.
