Kings Full No Good

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Sylvain Loosli opened under the gun for 40,000, and Imad Derwiche gave him action in the big blind. Both checked the flop to see the turn: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Derwiche bet 50,000 and Loosli called. Derwiche fired another 100,000 on the {a-Clubs} river after some thought. Loosli called fairly quickly, and Derwiche showed {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for aces full. Loosli turned over two kings and then mucked.

Loosli First to Seven Figures

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Sylvain Loosli made it 40,000 on the button, and Ami Barer three-bet more than half of his stack to 136,000 in the small blind. Loosli called. The flop came {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Barer checked. Loosli moved all in and Barer opted to preserve his remaining chips.

Not Bluffing

Level 19 : 8,000/16,000, 0 ante

Minh Phuc Nguyen called a raise from Imad Derwiche and then checked out of the small blind on {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Derwiche checked back to see a {j-Hearts}. Nguyen bet 47,000 and Derwiche called. Nguyen bet another 98,000 on the {7-Diamonds} river.

"Bluffing?" Derwiche asked.

Nguyen didn't respond. Derwiche eventually called, and Nguyen showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a turned boat.

Bouloutsos Doubles Through Derwiche

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Konstantinos Bouloutsos potted the small blind and Imad Derwiche called. They checked down a {4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board until Bouloutsos put in his last 37,000 on the end. Derwiche sighed and called. Bouloutsos showed {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for the nut flush and took it down.

Barer Doubles Through Bouloutsos

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 0 ante

Ami Barer got his last 62,000 in from the cutoff on a board of {8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{7-Spades}. It was a little under a pot-sized bet by the looks of things, and big blind Konstantinos Bouloutsos decided on a call after some thought.

Bouloutsos: {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Barer: {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Barer's trips were ahead, and the {2-Hearts} river changed nothing. Bouloutsos is now the one in grave danger of elimination with just a few blinds left.
