Billard Sends Kaverman to Reentry Desk

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We found Byron Kaverman sticking his last 14,000 or so in from the big blind against Francois Billard, who was on the button.

Billard: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Kaverman: {a-Spades}{4-Clubs}

Kaverman found no help on the {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} board and headed back to registration to use his allotted reentry.

Meijer van Putten Knocks Out Saout

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jasper Meijer van Putten
Jasper Meijer van Putten

After a raise and several callers, Antoine Saout shoved all in for 15,600. Jasper Meijer van Putten called to his direct left, and Jake Cody called a few seats over as well.

The two active players checked the {3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. On the {7-Clubs} turn, Meijer van Putten bet 22,000 and Cody called. On the {K-Spades} river, the EPT13 Prague winner bet 48,000, and the Team PokerStars Pro folded.

Meijer van Putten showed {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for top set, Saout briefly flashed an unknown hand and headed for the rail.

Cody Has the Hand Mandic Hopes For

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jake Cody was in early position and bet 16,500 into a pot of 23,000 on {9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Goran Mandic called from the button. On the {5-Clubs} river, Cody mashed in the rest, enough to put Mandic at risk for 66,400. The Croatian player used a time extension.

"I can beat ace-queen," he mused.

After another five second, he called.

Cody smiled slightly and showed {a-}{q-}, mucking when Mandic turned over {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

Mandic won the €10,300 Single Reentry event that was one of the openers of PokerStars Championship Barcelona and is looking to bag an ever bigger score here.
