Hands #134-138: Skoldstedt Short

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #134: Andrew Egan moved all-in and Mike Kachan called. Egan had {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} but Kachan had the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}. The cards ran out {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Kachan doubled up to leave Egan short.

Hand #135: Jeff Blenkarn opened to 175,000 and Viktor Skoldstedt called. Egan moved all-in and there was a side pot. The two active players checked down the board of {4-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Egan tripled up with the winning {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}.

Hand #136: Egan moved all-in and Eric Shanks called with {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Egan had {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. The board ran out {5-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{k-Spades} for a chop.

Hand #137: Mike Kachan made it 210,000 and won the antes and blinds.

Hand #138: Viktor Skoldstedt raised to 160,000 and Kachan called and checked dark. The flop was {2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Skoldstedt checked to see the turn {3-Spades}. Kachan bet 95,000 and Skoldstedt called. The river was the {7-Hearts}. Kachan bet 435,000 and tried to talk him out of it, but Skoldstedt called.

Kachan showed {10-Clubs}{8-Spades} for the straight and Skoldstedt mucked.

Hands #139-143: Two All In Showdowns

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #139: The action folded to Mike Kachan and he asked Viktor Skoldstedt on how much stack he had behind in the big blind. He then moved all in and Skoldstedt called for his last 410,000 with {K-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

Kachan had {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and the split pot was already guaranteed after the {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{K-Spades} flop. The meaningless {5-Clubs} turn and {K-Diamonds} river completed the board and they chopped it up.

Hand #140: Eric Shanks raised to 160,000 and Kachan three-bet to 275,000. The action folded to Andrew Egan and he moved all in for 550,000. Shanks folded and Kachan called off.

Kachan: {A-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Egan: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

There was no help for the bigger stack on the {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Egan doubled up.

Hand #141: Kachan raised to 185,000 and won the blinds and antes.

Hand #142: Skoldstedt moved all in for 365,000 and got the blinds and antes.

Hand #143: Skoldstedt was all in for the second time in a row and nobody called.

Hand #144: Jeff Blenkarn opened for 160,000 on the button won the antes and blinds.

Hand #145:

Jeff Blenkarn opened again for 160,000 and Viktor Skoldstedt moved all in from the small blind for 595,000.

The big blind folded and Blenkarn called.

Skoldstedt had shoved with {a-Hearts}{4-Spades} and was dominated by the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} of Blenkarn.

The board ran out {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Skoldstedt’s run was at an end and he got a warm round of applause from the rail as he shook hands with his fellow players.

Hands #146-150: Two All Ins Uncalled

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #146: Jeff Blenkarn raised to 160,000, Mike Kachan three-bet to 335,000 and they both folded after Andrew Egan four-bet all in.

Hand #147: Egan raised to 160,000 and Klenbarn called to see the {10-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop. Blenkarn checked, Egan bet 225,000 and received a stare from his opponent. Blenkarn folded after giving it some fold. The rail still jokingly cheered for Victor (Skolmstedt).

Hand #148: Blenkarn limped from the small blind and Kachan checked his option in the big blind. After the {7-Spades}{A-Clubs}{5-Spades} flop, Blenkarn bet 160,000 and folded once his opponent raised to 400,000.

Hand #149: Eric Shanks raised to 165,000 and Kachan inquired about his stack behind, which would be 1.2 million in chips. Kachan then three-bet to 600,000 and that shut down all further action.

Hand #150: Blenkarn raised to 160,000 and Kachan called on the button. Egan folded his small blind and Shanks now moved all in out of the big blind. Both opponents quickly folded.

Hands #156-158: Kachan and Egan Clash

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #156: Eric Shanks raised to 205,000 from the button and Jeff Blenkarn called in the small blind to check in the dark. On the {J-Spades}{7-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} flop, Shanks bet 165,000 and was called. The {2-Clubs} turn was checked through and Blenkarn then won the pot with a bet of 225,000 after the {K-Spades} river completed the board.

Hand #157: Mike Kachan raised to 200,000 out of the small blind and Andrew Egan folded. Kachan showed his opponents the {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Hand #158: Kachan raised to 265,000 from the button, Egan announced all in and Kachan quickly called. Both players shook hands after they tabled their cards.

Kachan: {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}
Egan: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Both players were almost even in stack and the {10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{K-Spades} flop gave Kachan, who was the player at risk, the lead. Egan asked for a jack to get a sweat and sure enough the {J-Hearts} appeared on the turn. The {5-Clubs} river saw him reduced to less than five big blinds.
