Perfect Spot for Burns

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

A massive pot has just been won by Simon Burns, who found {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} with a stack worth 89,000, versus {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} with the three players all-in preflop.

{5-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} first fell on the flop, giving Burns's opponent some hopes, but the rest of the board went {a-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs}, sending one opponent into the rail and leaving the other one with crumbs.

Burns, who cashed the $1,000 No-Limit Hold'em Super Turbo BOUNTY last year, climbs now to 240,000 chips.

The flop was showing {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Clubs} with already around 110,000 already in the middle when Bart Lybaert tossed a large stack of 5,000 chips worth 100,000 in front of him, putting his opponent tournament at risk.

After a long tank, the latter reluctantly conceded the hand and Lybaert was able to grab the massive pot.

Weisner Out

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

According to the table, Melanie Weisner raised from under the gun and has been called by two players.

The flop brought {k-}{9-}{4-} and Weisner first checked. One of her opponent bet 7,500 and the action folded to Weisner who shoved all in. It was snap-called by her opponent, holding{9-}{9-} for a set of nines. Weisner, with {k-}{q-}, was drawing very slim and left the tournament after the turn and river bricked.

Dechant Back in the Game

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Dieter Dechant busted and reentered the tournament and has now a comfortable stack of 72,000. Dechant just split a big pot on the following action.

A first player raised and it folded to the player in the small blind who pushed all in for 37,000. After some thought, Dechant reshoved all in and the initial raiser made the call.

Dechant, holding {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}, was up against {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts} for the small blind and {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for the initial raiser who held the best hand. However, a board {5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} with two pair saved Dechant and the small blind player from losing chips.

Aoki Loses Some Chips

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Mikiyo Aoki raised from under the gun and a player moved all in for 14,500 chips. The action folded back to Aoki who made the call to create the following showdown:

Mikiyo Aoki: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Her opponent: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Aoki was in bad shape to win the hand, and the {7-Hearts}{9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{k-Spades} runout improved her opponent's hand into quad kings.
