October's Run Bad Culminates in Aces Cracked

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Caleb October made it 40,000 to go with the A♠A♦ from an early position and was called by Edgar Antezana on the button with the 7♦6♥. On the 10♦7♠7♥ flop, October made it 30,000 to go for Antezana to call and then turn a full house with the 6♠. Another bet of 75,000 by October followed and Antezana called.

That led them to the 5♠ on the river on which October jammed for the rest of it to get snapped off by Antezana.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

James Rann was all-in preflop with the A♣J♠ and up against Damon Fine who had the 9♠9♥. The J♥6♥3♠7♦2♠ board delivered the suckout on the flop right away. Fine recorded the hand for his vlog and it went straight into Instagram with the caption "crazy how these euro pros get it in with ace-high".

The next player to get it in with ace-high against Fine was Andrew Holland with a short stack and the A♥7♦. Fine had the Q♠Q♥ and the A♠A♦5♣2♠J♦ board provided the next sucker punch.

Two Double Ups in a Row

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Robin Kayalsum flopped trips with 10♣5♣ on the 10♠10♦4♦ flop and called the shove by Nico Wiechers, who had the Q♦Q♥. The J♠ turn and 3♠ river were both blanks and Kayalsum doubled.

Jehan Richards jammed for 245,000 preflop and was looked up by Gustav Louw with a small pocket pair.

Jehan Richards: A♥2♥ All in
Gustav Louw: 4♦4♣

The J♥8♣3♣A♦8♦ board improved Richards on the turn and he told Louw "good call".

"Of course it was a good call, you doubled," a somewhat sour Louw responded.

In the meanwhile, Simon Solomon hit the rail to reduce the field to the last 40 hopefuls.

Player	Chips	Progress
Robin Kayalsum	960,000 440,000	440,000
Jehan Richards	530,000 145,000	145,000

The next big blind also made some moves as Naven Naicker led the J♠9♥5♣6♥ turn for 100,000 and the 5♦ river for 140,000. Alexandre Blanc called and Naicker showed the K♦4♠ for king-high, Blanc won the pot with his Q♠Q♥.

On the outer tables, Karol was down to 110,000 before going into the big blind and got it in with the 10♥5♦ against Sascha Manns, who had him crushed with the A♦10♠.

"It is possible. Maybe there are two fives on the flop," Manns smiled. But there was no escape on the 8♠3♣2♣7♥6♥ board for Karol to bow out in 42nd place.
