Knight Pips Dvoress to the Rail

Adam Lamers

Level 9 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vadzim Lipauka opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Daniel Dvoress called in middle position. Curtis Knight three-bet to 175,000 from the big blind and only Dvoress called.

The flop came 6♣3♥2♥ and Knight continued with a bet of 150,000. Dvoress jammed all in for 645,000 and Knight flicked in a chip to call.

Daniel Dvoress: 9♠9♥ All in
Curtis Knight: 10♠10♦

Knight had Dvoress pipped but the 10♥ on the turn made things interesting as Dvoress picked up a flush draw. It was the 5♣ on the river and Knight held on to eliminate Dvoress late in the night.

Level 8 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Biao Ding opened to 32,000 in early position with A♣Q♦ and Tony Parker woke up with the goods with K♦K♠ before min-three-betting to 64,000. Ding four-bet jammed a stack of 513,000 but was not met with a snap-call from the NBA legend.

Instead, Parker went in the tank behind a pair of dark sunglasses, folding his arms and leaning over the table before eventually sliding the premium holding into the muck.

Level 8 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Thomas Muehloecker raised it up from the hijack and Florian Gaugusch ripped in the last of his 283,000 chips from the big blind. Muehloecker asked for a quick count and then called to put his countrymate at risk.

Florian Gaugusch: A♠8♠ All in
Thomas Muehloecker: K♥Q♣

The flop of 7♥5♣4♣ left Gaugusch in the lead with his ace-high. The 5♠ on the turn changed nothing but it was the Q♥ on the river that gave Muehloecker two pair and eliminated Gaugusch.
