Watson Four-Bet Jams; Action is Monitored

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The speed of play on both tables is being monitored to ensure that a similar amount of hands is being played.

Over on table one, Daniel Dvoress raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Fedor Holz three-bet to 200,000 on the button. Mike Watson in the big blind let his clock run down to just three seconds before moving all in. Dvoress quickly folded, but Holz asked for a count. Watson was all in for 530,000 and Holz eventually folded.

Kanit Finds a Double Against Holz

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit defended his small blind against a raise by Fedor Holz and check-shoved the {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop. Holz had bet 115,000 and asked for a count, and Kanit's all in was for 420,000. Holz called to put Kanit at risk and the cards were turned over.

Mustapha Kanit: {J-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Fedor Holz: {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {9-Spades} turn took some outs away from Holz, and he failed to sent Kanit to the rail after a blank {10-Spades} on the river, that even gave Kanit a full house.

Kisacikoglu Busts to Mateos

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Nick Petrangelo was mentioning a strategy to shove three times and as such double the stack without any showdown, causing plenty of laughter on the table. "Adrian does that without knowing," Isaac Haxton said, referring to Adrian Mateos. And it was the Spaniard who was involved in an all in showdown just now.

Orpen Kisacikoglu shoved for his last 255,000 from the cutoff and Mateos eventually called out of the big blind.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Adrian Mateos: {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop left Kisacikoglu in bad shape, and the {2-Clubs} turn and {6-Diamonds} river failed to provide a miracle to send Kisacikoglu to the rail.

Daniel Dvoress: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}
Rainer Kempe: {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}

The board ran out {9-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Kempe hit the rail.

Dan Smith

Dan Smith shoved under the gun for 465,000. His neighbor, Isaac Haxton, reshoved and the other players got out of the way.

Isaac Haxton: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Dan Smith: {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and Smith said his goodbyes.

Not much later, Haxton (big blind) got it in against Mateos (cutoff) for 510,000 each.

Adrian Mateos: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Isaac Haxton: {K-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} so Haxton lost back what he had just won.

Carrel Finds a Double

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Isaac Haxton raised to 80,000 and Charlie Carrel shoved for his last 150,000 from two seats over, which Haxton called.

Charlie Carrel: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Isaac Haxton: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board came {K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the kicker played to let Carrel keep his hopes alive.

Carrel Doubles Seidel

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Charlie Carrel in the small blind and he pushed all in. Big blind Erik Seidel called for 670,000 with {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Carrel showed {A-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

The {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop was already scary for Carrel, and the {4-Diamonds} on the turn wasn't too good either. The {7-Spades} on the river helped Seidel making a straight and Carrel parted ways with the majority of his stack.

Holz Does Holz Things

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Sergio Aido raised to 85,000 from early position and Fedor Holz took his time before moving all in from two seats over for 710,000. Aido quickly called when the action had folded to him and it was a big flip to get Holz back into contention.

Sergio Aido: {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}
Fedor Holz: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

A board of {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Spades} paired up Holz on the turn and he spiked a double to 1.5M.
