Kolinkovskyi Doubles Through Lakemeier

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

After an early open to 2,200, Jens Lakemeier repopped to 5,800 in the next seat. The next player to act, Pavlo Kolinkovskyi, shoved all in for 18,400, and action folded back to Lakemeier. He called after getting a count.

Kolinkovskyi: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Lakemeier: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

Lakemeier outflopped his foe when {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{k-Hearts} hit. However, the {a-Spades} arrived on the turn. Kolinkovskyi wasn't out of the woods yet as the 2017 bracelet winner picked up a flush draw, but the {10-Diamonds} was a brick river.

Alex Foxen raised to 2,200 from the cutoff and Vojtech Ruzicka called on the button. Foxen then check-called 2,600 from Ruzicka on the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop and 4,800 on the {9-Clubs} turn.

Both players snap-checked the {J-Diamonds} on the river. Foxen showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for ace high, Ruzicka quickly showed {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for tens and sixes to win the hand.

Vieira Gets Big Value

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Joao Vieira bet 13,500 in the small blind on a board of {4-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, and an opponent in the cutoff called after using a time extension. On the {3-Hearts} river, Vieira had to pause when his foe piped up.

"I am not going for flush," the player said. "You think I'm on a flush draw, I'm not. I will pay you."

Vieira took up the challenge and fired 28,000. His opponent again used a time extension.

"You show me?"

"No."

Vieira tabled {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and his opponent pounded the table in submission.

"Good answer," he said. "I had the nine."
