Amamou Building Higher

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On a flop reading {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, Rachid Amamou checked from the big blind along with Daniel Strelitz under the gun and the player on the button.

The dealer burned and turned the {a-Diamonds} and Amamou checked again. Strelitz bet 5,000 and the button called. Amamou check-raised to 15,000. Strelitz folded and the button called.

The {3-Spades} completed the board and Amamou fired a bet of 35,000. His opponent went deep into the tank, then gave up his hand.

"Good fold," muttered Amamou turning over {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for tens full of aces.

Karakousis Makes a Flush

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A player in the big blind bet 6,000 facing a {3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board, and Georgios Karakousis quickly called from under the gun.

The {9-Clubs} fell on the river, and the big blind bet 6,000 once more, and Karakousis almost beat the big blind in the pot with a call.

The big blind tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for top pair, but Karakousis had rivered a flush with his {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs} to take the pot.

Mcalpin Four-Bets Preflop

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Maria Mcalpin raised in early position to 4,600, the table folded around to the button who three-bet to 12,000, the blinds folded and Mcalpin four-bet to 25,000 and the button called.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Mcalpin fired out a bet of 25,000 and that was good enough to take down the pot as the button mucked his cards.

Bottom Pair Enough for Markholt

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Lee Markholt raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and got action from the small blind. The flop came {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} and the small blind check-called 3,500 more. Both players checked the {4-Spades} and the {7-Spades}, and Markholt's {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, good for a pair of fours, was the winner.

A Pot For Kapalas

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The flop appeared {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and Georgios Kapalas checked from the small blind. Romain Lewis also checked from middle position before the player on the button passed the action through to the {4-Diamonds} turn.

Kapalas bet 5,600 and Lewis sat on his decision for 30 seconds before folding, and Kapalas took down the pot after the button player also passed.

Kebe Back on Track

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

With the completed board showing {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, Jimmy Kebe in the big blind made it 26,000 to go into a pot of 48,000 and his sole remaining opponent Tom Gross eventually called on the button. Kebe flipped over the {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a queen-high flush and that won the pot.

Mori Scores a Knockout

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Kento Mori opened for 3,500 in the hijack and called the shove of an opponent on the button, who had about 15,000. Mori was in a dominating spot with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} against {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. After three diamonds flopped, another hit on the turn to lock it up for Mori and he celebrated loudly.

Vanbruggen Flops the Straight

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Igor Kurganov
Igor Kurganov

The board read {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Clubs} with around 24,000 in the middle already.

Rick Vanbruggen checked in the big blind and Igor Kurganov made it 17,500 from the late position. Dustin Lee was sitting in the hijack, contemplating his options, but ended up folding while Vanbruggen made the call.

The river completed the board with the {q-Diamonds}, Vanbruggen checked and so did Kurganov. Vanbruggen showed he held {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for the flopped straight and that was enough for Kurganov to push his cards over the line for the muck.
