Houra Doubles with Kings

Level 18 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ondrej Houra saw Dominik Arnold bet 125,000 in a board on the turn and he immediately announced all in. Arnold asked for a count on Houra's stack and the dealer counted 255,000 chips.

Arnold tanked for about two minutes and made the call, with Houra opening quickly his on the table. Arnold looked disappointed as he opened for a smaller pair, looking for just a ten to send his opponent to the rail.

The on the river didn't help him and Houra built a big stack after this hand.

Vrakas Catapults with Massive Bluff

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Georgios Vrakas was found in a huge pot on the river, containing around 240,000 chips. He was all in from middle position for 150,000 with the board showing and Friedrich Raz on the button was his opponent, who was having a hard time thinking about to call or not. He spent a lot of minutes in the tank, putting out of his stack the required chips for the call and Vrakas asked for the clock.

The tournament director appeared on the table and started counting, with Raz finally folding his hand after 30 seconds into the clock. A loud "Yes" came out of Vrakas' mouth, who opened for a massive bluff that gave him a big pot. Raz said that he folded ace-king but none of his cards were shown.

Vrakas is up to 400,000 with this pot, getting him into the top ten biggest stacks in the field.
