Yoon Wins From Rann

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Table #53: There was about 1,100 in the middle already and the flop read {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades} after which both James Rann in the small blind and Brian Yoon in mid-position checked.

The turn brought them the {8-Clubs}, and Rann check-folded when Yoon put in a bet.

Ott Over Gerrits

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

Connor Berkowitz joined Ihar Soika on Table #52.

On Table #48, Dillon Ott and Martijn Gerrits are sitting right next to each other with Gerrits joining the field late. Over there Gerrits recently raised to 325 from the under-the-gun position and action folded all the way to Ott in the big blind who called.

The flop came {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, and Ott check-called a 300 bet of Gerrits. They both checked through the {k-Clubs} on the turn to the {5-Hearts} on the river. Ott bet 225 this time and Gerrits called. Ott tabled {a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for the flopped pair of aces and that was enough to make Gerrits muck.

"Did you have the king?" Ott asked Gerrits.

"The king? No, but definitely something I couldn't fold," Gerrits replied.

Table #46 Update

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Timur Margolin and Scott Clements have just joined the table of Joe McKeehen and Aristeidis Moschonas. Margolin came second in the WSOP International Circuit Main Event in October last year in Rozvadov. The King's Casino in Rozvadov will be hosting this year's World Series of Europe in October again.

Just now Moschonas raised to 300 from the button and was called by Clements in the big blind. The flop came {K-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{A-Clubs}, and Clements check-called the 300 bet of Moschonas. The turn brought the {5-Diamonds}, and once again Clements check-called the 700 bet of Moschonas.

The river completed the board with the {3-Spades}, Clements checked for a final time. Moschonas continued with a bet of 1,100 and Clements threw in a chip for a call. Moschonas tabled {J-Clubs}{6-Hearts} for the failed bluff and Clements had caught him with {a-Spades}{7-Hearts} for the flopped top pair turned two pair on the river.

Lybaert Climbing

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

Bart Lybaert has been chipping up.

Most recently he was in a hand on the flop in which the board read {8-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Hearts}. He led for 700 and his opponent called behind.

On the {7-Hearts} turn, Lybaert elected to check and it was checked back. Finally, the river was a {3-Diamonds}. Lybaert put 2,100 across the line and he got a call. Turning over {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} Lybaert's top pair was good enough and he scooped the chips.
