Marcin Horecki
Marcin Horecki

Alex Foxen raised preflop and got action from small blind Marcin Horecki. Horecki check-called a {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} flop and check-called 48,000 on the {a-Diamonds} turn. Horecki led out for 128,000 when the {q-Clubs} put a four-straight on board, and Foxen folded in fairly short order.

Mooney Doubles

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From the hijack, John Mooney shoved for 112,000. Omid Mojaverian called from the small blind and the big blind went deep into the tank. After some minutes, Louis Salter asked for the clock but the dealer didn't oblige as he found the big blind hadn't taken too long just yet. The big blind folded shortly after.

John Mooney: {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Omid Mojaverian: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

Mooney got up from the table and didn't sit back down just yet when the flop came {2-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The {K-Diamonds} on the turn was the wrong kind of red card but the {9-Hearts} on the river did help. Mooney took his seat again, Mojaverian just sighed.

The Last 1,000

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Daniel Barriocanal opened for 21,000 and Alexandr Resko put in 48,000 on the button, all but his last 1,000. They each checked the flop — Barriocanal dark.

"Careful, there's a pay jump soon," he warned.

The board read {q-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds} on the turn and Barriocanal flicked in the last 1,000 after having told Resko he had ace-queen.

"Ace-queen, really?" Resko said. "I am dead. I have ace-nine."

"You have to call, then."

Indeed, Resko did call and show {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Barriocanal had {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} for a gutter. He missed on the {8-Clubs} river.

"Why do you lie?" Resko said. "This is not nice."

Golan: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Michaelis: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Clubs} and Golan collected the double at the expense of Michaelis.

Yuliyan Kolev: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Aleksandr Orlov: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}
Jason Wheeler: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

Soshnikov More Than Doubles

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of {4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}, Ivan Soshnikov in the small blind, and the player in the big blind checked. The hijack bet 38,000 and Kalidou Sow in the cutoff called. Soshnikov shoved all in for 145,000 and the big blind and initial bettor both folded. Sow called.

Kalidou Sow: {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Ivan Soshnikov: {6-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Then {J-Spades} on the turn and {8-Clubs} on the river were good cards for Soshnikov and he doubled.
