Howes Avoids the Kane

Kai Cocklin

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Brandon Harris opened to 2,200 from under the gun and got called by Adam Howes & Kelvin Cheng before Michael Kane made a healthy squeeze from the big blind. Harris folded, Howes called off his stack of 16,000, and Cheng folded.

Adam Howes: K♠Q♠ All in
Michael Kane: A♦Q♣

Howes was hesitant to reveal his cards and was met with a "What happened, did you change your mind?" from one of his tablemates.

Not much changed on the 4♠8♥6♥ flop, but the J♠ turn did give Howes some more outs as he picked up a flush draw. It wasn't the flush that Howes spiked on the river, but instead the K♦ gave him a pair and earned him a double-up.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were around 20,000 chips in the pot on a full board of 2♣K♠J♦4♦10♣ when Andrew Hulme checked it over to Jay O'Leary, who bet 20,000. Hulme only had around 15,000 left in his stack and was in the tank for a considerable amount of time before he eventually put himself at risk.

O'Leary then showed A♣A♥, then Hulme mucked his cards and walked away from his seat.

On the same table, Florian Duta has a healthy stack of around 90,000 as the next break looms closer.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A full board of K♣Q♠9♣2♣J♣ was showing when Michael Kane got the last of his chips into the middle on the river, and was put at risk by Paul Trotter.

Kane showed a set with J♠J♥, but that was no good as Trotter held Q♦10♦ for a rivered straight to earn the pot and the knockout.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Keith Cummins opened from early position to 2,500 and got a call from George Demetriou in the small blind.

They went to a flop of J♦Q♣8♣ where Demetriou check-called a bet of 2,000 from Cummins to see the 9♥ drop on the turn. Demetriou checked again, Cummins bet 5,600, and Demetriou called.

When the A♣ landed on the river, Demetriou led out with a bet of 10,000, and after a while thinking, Cummins folded.

Demetriou showed 10♦9♦ for a straight as he scooped in the pot.
