Zanette Sends Richards Packing

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of Q♣8♣5♠, Jehan Richards as well as Giovanni Zanette got near identical stacks into the middle with Richards as the player at risk.

Jehan Richards: A♣6♣ All in
Giovanni Zanette: 5♣5♥

The K♠ turn was a blank, as was the J♦ river. Richards asked if he was covered and Zanette was pretty sure that wasn't the case. However, when the stacks were counted, Zanette had 98,000 and that covered his opponent by a few blinds.

"Sorry, I am colour blind. I thought you had three blue chips," Zanette apologised from the other side of the table.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Joey Weissman had apparently knocked out Huawei Sun and leaped well above the average. He then called a raise to 6,000 by Darren Kramer and Hennie Appel jammed a short stack behind. Kramer folded but Weissman called.

Hennie Appel: 4♦4♣ All in
Joey Weissman: A♣9♣

The 10♥7♥2♦J♣3♥ board put a minor dent into the stack of Weissman.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In three-way action to the 7♦6♦4♥ flop, the action checked to Martin Diggle and he bet 15,000. Saurabh Gulati folded and Werner Smit came to the same conclusion. "I had a big hand, just look at that," Diggle said and exposed the A♦5♦ for the open-ended straight draw and nut flush draw.

Following an open raise to 6,000 and two callers, the 10♦6♥6♣b flop was checked. On the 10♥ turn, Teren Ramnundlall bet 5,000 and David Ng folded, Matthew Whitelaw called. They checked the 3♣ river and Whitelaw announced an ace, showed the A♠3♥. It won the pot, and Sugen Singh declared "all your draws bricked".

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Matthew Whitelaw was building a castle of sorts after many chips had been pushed to him, with two opponents hitting the rail. The chips were a mess and Sugen Singh told him to make it more neatly in twenties, which Whitelaw then prepared on doing.

On a board of A♠A♦7♦K♣J♦, the K♦K♠ of Whitelaw had turned kings full of jacks and it was good enough to knock out Mariette Language with the 6♣6♥ and Harold Brooks, who still had K♥Q♣ exposed.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Stephen Courtney bet the K♠4♣3♣ flop for 10,000 and the Q♥ turn for 15,000, both of which Huawei Sun called. They checked the A♥ on the river and Courtney announced a queen, flashed Q♠9♠. Sun had that beat with the A♣6♣ for a missed nut flush draw that hit a pair of aces.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Maxwell Young was among the late entrants and got his chips in with the 9♣9♥. Unfortunately for the American, he ran into the Q♦Q♠ of Darren Kramer and found no escape on the 6♥4♠2♦3♥6♦ runout.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joey Weissman defended his big blind against Jean Souprayenmestry and checked the 10♥7♠3♦ flop. Souprayenmestry continued for 6,000 and received a call for Weissman to check the 6♥ on the turn. Souprayenmestry pushed all-in and Weissman snap-called.

Joey Weissman: 9♥8♣ All in
Jean Souprayenmestry: J♠10♦

The 2♦ on the river changed nothing anymore, as Weissman already had the check mark. He doubled for 27,000 to leave Souprayenmestry short, who then busted to Hennie Appel soon after.
