Antti Halme Loses Some and Then the Rest

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Antti Halme
Antti Halme

With about 22,000 already in the pot and the completed board reading {K-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}, Antti Halme bet 10,000 from the big blind and Yuto Watanabe called from under the gun. Wanatabe tabled {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for top pair, top kicker and Halme mucked.

The next hand, it looked like he jammed from the small blind over a raise from the cutoff and got a call from his opponent. Halme had {5-}{5-} and his opponent held {K-}{K-}. The board was no help to Halme and he has been eliminated.

Players are now on a 15-minute break.

Watanabe Picks Off a Bluff

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

In a three-bet pot, Yuto Watanabe bet 6,200 from the button on a {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop, and his opponent in the cutoff called. Watanabe checked back the {2-Diamonds} turn, and the {9-Spades} river put trips on board. The player in the cutoff bet 8,000, and Watanabe thought about 15 seconds before putting in a call. The cutoff showed {a-}{q-}, but Watanabe had {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} and took the pot.

This time, the big blind came out betting with 4,500. Lew tossed in a call, and both players checked after the {6-Clubs} hit.

Chung Holds Off a Jack and a Chop

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

A player under the gun moved all in for 16,900, and action folded to Lawrence Chung in the small blind. He put in a call, and the big blind folded.

Chung: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Under the gun: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} flop improved neither player, but the {2-Diamonds} turn brought a chance for a chop if another diamond hit. However, the river was a {10-Hearts}, and Chung scored the knockout after previously getting unlucky with kings against ace-king in a preflop all in.
