Two for Kampanatsanyakorn

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Chane Kampanatsanyakorn
Chane Kampanatsanyakorn

From early position, Fabian Quoss opened the action with a raise to 800. Dylan Honeyman called from the hijack seat, and Chance Kampanatsanyakorn called out of he small blind before the dealer spread the {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. Kampanatsanyakorn checked, and Quoss bet 1,500. Honeyman called, and then Kampanatsanyakorn check-raised to 4,500. Quoss folded, and Honeyman called.

The turn card was the {6-Clubs}, and Kampanatsanyakorn led with a bet of 8,000. Honeyman opted to fold, and Kampanatsanyakorn picked up the pot.

On the next hand at the table, Quoss was back to his raising ways with an open from the under-the-gun position to 800. The player in the cutoff seat called, Kampanatsanyakorn called on the button, Jaime Kaplan called from the small blind, and Nicolas Cardyn called out of the big blind.

On the {A-Hearts}{J-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Kaplan, Cardyn, Quoss, and the player in the cutoff seat all checked. That put the action on Kampanatsanyakorn, and he fired a bet of 2,500. On the player in the cutoff seat made the call to see the {2-Hearts} land on the turn. After action was checked to him, Kampanatsanyakorn bet 5,000. His opponent folded, and Kampanatsanyakorn won the pot.

Glazier Pushes Leah Off the Hand

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Three players put in 2,000 preflop and saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}. A player in middle position checked, Mike Leah did the same from late position, and Jackie Glazier bet 3,300 from the hijack. The middle-position player folded, Leah called and it was heads-up action to the {Q-Clubs} turn.

Both players checked, the {K-Hearts} completed the board on the river, and Leah fired out 7,300. Glazier opted to pop it to 17,000, and it did the trick as Leah released his hand.

Just Do It

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a preflop raising war, Patrick Donker had a short stack at risk for 9,525 chips and it was the classic coin flip with {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} versus {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}. While Donker could not connect with the {Q-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} flop, the {A-Clubs} on the turn saw him improve to a pair of aces. The {10-Hearts} on the river blanked and Donker is well above average right now.

Israelashvili Takes One Down

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With around 12,000 in the pot and a board reading {10-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades}, Roland Israelashvili bet a modest 3,200 from middle position and action was on Xuan Liu. She thought for about 30 seconds before conceding the hand.

Not a game-changing hand by any means, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on both their counts.

Karamalikis Doubles Through Cheong

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jonathan Karamalikis raised to 725 and called the 1,400 three-bet of Kyle Cheong on the button. Karamalikis then check-called 1,300 on a flop of {J-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {2-Hearts} and the {A-Hearts} on the turn was checked through. Karamalikis jammed the {6-Spades} river for what looked like approximately 8,000 in chips and Cheong called.

The Australian revealed {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} for top two pair and that was good enough, Cheong folded his cards and they already hit the muck to avoid being retrieved.

Curly Spiked the River

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

"All in and a call Table 29," a dealer bellowed. We made our way over to discover Emanuel "Curly" Seal had gotten his stack all in holding the {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts} on a {q-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs} flop. Unfortunately for him, his opponent held the {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flopped flush.

Seal stood after the {10-Spades} turn failed to help him, but then sat back down when the {9-Clubs} spiked on the river to give him a bigger flush.

Salter Has Too Many Outs to Fold

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a raise, Jack Salter and two further players called to see the flop of {8-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. The initial raiser made a continuation bet and Salter raised big to scare off the other two opponents. He then called the all in of the initial raiser for 15,600 chips with {9-Clubs} {7-Clubs} for a double gutshot and flush draw to face {A-Hearts} {J-Hearts} for top pair.

While the {2-Hearts} on the turn was no good, the {6-Hearts} on the river gave Salter a straight and he claimed yet another elimination. The opponent that had just busted asked if "he got it in good" and Salter nodded. "Yeah you did, I gambled."

Little Halts Addamo's Momentum

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jonathan Little opened for 800 from the hijack only to have Michael Addamo three-bet to 2,750 from the small blind. Little made the call and then called a bet of 3,100 from Addamo on the {6-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Spades} flop.

When the {J-Spades} appeared on the turn, Addamo checked but called when Little bet 5,300. Addamo checked for a second time on the {7-Hearts} river and Little kept the pressure on with a bet of 10,700. Addamo thought long and hard and eventually found a fold.
