Pfutzenreuter busts to Lim

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

Aaron Lim just recently sat down and opened to 700 from under the gun. He found three callers including Timo Pfutzenreuter in the small blind and the latter got his remaining 10,000 chips all in after a betting war with Lim on a flop of {9-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {J-Clubs}. Lim looked him up with the {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} {9-Spades} and the German held {J-Diamonds} {Q-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}.

Pfutzenreuter picked up even more outs on the {10-Clubs} turn, but the {4-Diamonds} river was a brick.

One for Marcus

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

Brian Rast opened for 700 from the cutoff and received calls from Van Marcus and Richard Ashby on the button and small blind respectively. Ashby then checked the {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop, Rast continued for 1,500, and Marcus raised to 3,400. Ashby flatted, Rast folded, and it was heads-up action to the {K-Clubs} turn.

Ashby checked for a second time and then quickly folded his hand when Marcus bet 10,700, which was the size of the pot.

Bojang Cannot Bust the Toothpick

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

Ismael Bojang opened the action with a raise and got called one seat over before Tony Kambouroglou moved all in for his last 3,450 chips. Bojang isolated by raising the pot and the cold caller folded. "Well it's gonna be difficult to win this one," Bojang joked when he saw the {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {6-Spades} of his opponent and tabled his own {A-Spades} {7-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}.

There was no help on the {4-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {8-Clubs} flop nor the {K-Hearts} turn and "Tony Toothpick" made a flush with the {J-Hearts} on the river.

Ward Busts to Ashby

Level 5 : 150/300, 0 ante

Phil Ward raised to 600 and got one caller before Richard Ashby raised the pot to 2,700. Only ward called with about 8,000 behind and got the remainder of his stack in after a flop of {K-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {2-Clubs}. Ashby called with {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {3-Clubs} and Ward needed some help with {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {3-Hearts}.

The {5-Spades} on the turn bricked and the {K-Spades} on the river sent Ward to the rail.
