taisyo Earns the Next Knockout

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Hiroshi raised to 4,000 and the player to his right made it 14,000 to go. taisyo then four-bet to 36,000 and only the three-bettor called with some 29,000 behind to call all-in after the Q♠9♦6♣ flop. Their A♦K♣ had a mountain to climb versus A♠A♥ with taisyo on the verge of another knockout. The J♠ turn opened a gutshot but the J♦ river only paired the board.

taisyo	445,000 125,000	125,000

Hiroshi	175,000 175,000	175,000

Another Knockout for sixsense

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

He may have had the sixth sense to get the chips in when sixsense raised and called the shove of a shorter stack to flip with 3♣3♠ versus A♠Q♠. The Q♦J♣3♦ flop had him well out ahead but the J♥ turn provided an unlikely sweat, which never completed on the blank 5♦ river.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A big stack for some time, WAWAWA tried to knock out a shorter stack with 4♥4♦ versus A♠5♦ but both overcards came on the A♥10♥9♠5♥K♣ runout.

He then lost another showdown pot but made up for both hands when defending out of the big blind in three-way action. WAWAWA check-called the 10♥8♣7♦ flop for 5,000 and did so for 10,000 on the 5♠ turn. The 6♣ river was checked and the A♦10♠ of WAWAWA were good.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Over on table 404, kento19 arrived and immediately got the work when he had a shorter stack at risk with A♥K♥ versus A♣6♥. The superior kicker also appeared on the K♦7♠3♣ flop and the J♠ turn locked up the pot for him to make the 7♣ river a formality.

THE Q Has the Answer

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a preflop all-in, THE Q needed help with K♥J♥ against A♥K♦ and already prepared the chips to pay off a double when the flop came 8♥8♦5♦. However, the 2♥ turn and the 9♥ river brought running hearts for a flush and knockout.

THE Q	137,000 137,000	137,000

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Sheldon Wu jammed in his stack and only a severe short stack called out of the blinds with the 6♠2♦. That was crushed by the A♣K♦ of Wu and the K♠Q♣J♦4♠7♣ board confirmed the elimination. Next to Wu is Andrew Tomoya, who re-entered at the last minute.
