Kossew Claims Another Victim; Leblanc Chips Back Up

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On the river of a heads-up pot the board showed KJ104Q and Howard Lipman checked. Remy Leblanc pushed all-in and Lipman briefly glanced at his phone (no solvers involved, guaranteed) before he let go.

At the same time one table over, Werner Smit was spotted on his way to the rail. He had run the AK into Jedd Kossew, who looked him up with the AA and recorded another knockout.

Martin Busts Grove on the River

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Sheldon Grove jammed all-in the very first hand after his re-entry and was up against two opponents, a short stack and Clayton Martin.

Short stack: JJ All in
Sheldon Grove: 87 All in
Clayton Martin: AA

On the 852 flop, Grove said "I gonna need an eight or seven here" and received that wish with the 7 turn. A split pot was still possible since none of the trio had a spade in their hand. However, it was the A that fell on the river for Martin to score a double knockout.

Jono Hoal
Jono Hoal

Simon Solomon got his short stack in with the AK and had a classic flip against the QQ of Jonathan Hoal.

The board ran out 974J8 and that spelled the end for Solomon.

Soon after, Singh was flipping against Hoal in the following preflop contest.

Sugen Singh: AK All in
Jonathan Hoal: 1010

The J9523 board brought no help either and Hoal won the second flip in a row.

Grove Crashes Out After Tussle With Andritz

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Sheldon Grove
Sheldon Grove

Adrian Andritz check-called the 10876 turn for 6,900 against Sheldon Grove and then led the 3 river for 20,000. Grove called but mucked the 9 when Andritz revealed the KQ for the king-high flush.

Grove dropped to around 11,000 and lost those shortly after, though he will likely be back soon.

Poonhath First Casualty of the Day

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Rajeev Poonhath
Rajeev Poonhath

A raising war broke out on the J87K turn on which Rajeev Poonhath jammed all-in for 25,500 when facing a squeeze to 18,500. Lee Thaver was his opponent, who needed a few seconds before making the call.

Rajeev Poonhath: KJ All in
Lee Thaver: JJ

Poonhath was somewhat perplexed and another player pointed out it was a slow roll. The river was the Q and that spelled the end for Poonhath.
