SM Goes on Roller Coaster Ride

Christian Zetzsche

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

Gavin Sardini check-called the A♣9♠5♥8♦ turn for 22,000 in a larger pot versus SM and then checked the 10♣ river. SM loaded up a bet of 52,000 and Sardini folded.

Soon after, SM built another big pot and bet the Q♦J♣5♥K♦ turn. Wesley Blom moved all-in and SM sigh-called with the words "well done". Blom had spiked his gutshot with the A♠10♦ and SM could only chop with a ten, as his A♥A♣ were suddenly crushed.

The river was the 3♣ and Blom doubled.

In the meanwhile, Hafiz Juma told Muzamil Gothey about his exit on a nearby table.

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

Ahmed Karrim was all-in preflop for the last 19,000 and looked up by High Roller champion Costa Giannakopoulos.

"I am ahead of you," Karrim said as he rolled over the 7♣7♦.

"But I have king kong and flush," Giannakopoulos replied as he flipped over the K♥5♥.

The suited king got there on the 8♥6♠6♥5♣4♥ board to knock out Karrim.

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

On a three-way flop of K♥Q♥10♦, Gerrit van der Spoel bet 15,000 and then called the all-ins of two shorter stacks.

One of them revealed the Q♠10♠ for bottom two pair, while Hennie Appel had the J♠9♣ for the made straight. Van der Spoel had outs with Q♣Q♦ but didn't get there on the 8♠ turn and J♥ river runout.

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

Zash Ebrahim jammed for the last 16,100 and was called by Cliton Taliwanth in the next seat.

"This is for the dust spin," Ebrahim declared and was behind with K♠9♠ versus A♠8♠.

The 5♠2♠2♣ flop left Ebrahim in rough shape but he caught running kings with the K♥ turn and K♣ river.

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

One of the local players by the name of Ash got it in after the J♥10♠5♣ flop only to get looked up by SM. They had the Q♠J♦ for top pair and were also in the ongoing flip for another seat at the same time. SM was way out in front with K♣K♥ and nothing changed with the 10♥ turn or 9♦ river.

The flip was not a success either as Harold Brooks was the winner in that.

Jarred Solomon had been eliminated, too, and couldn't bink the flip for a bargain entry either.

On the J♦6♦4♦3♣ turn, Gordon Padayachee had not acted yet when Brad Simpson bet 16,200 out of turn. Padayachee then pushed all-in and the floor was called to clarify the action. Simpson forfeited his bet and folded to the shove, as the rich got richer.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On the heads-up flop oif A♥8♠4♦, David Ng bet 2,800 and was called by Huawei Sun. They got another 4,000 in after the 4♥ turn before the 3♦ river was checked. Ng showed the A♠J♦ and won the pot.

One table over, Ricky Toker was talking to his dad Brett Toker who had come from a severe short stack above the average. In the meanwhile, his monster stack was gone after he lost them all in two big hands. The final hand saw his superior pocket pair cracked by pocket sevens with one player mentioning they had folded a seven.
