Grise Wins in Epic Battle

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was opened with a raise to 3,500 from the player under the gun before Matthew Moss three-bet to 10,500 from middle position. Igor Kurganov four-bet to 28,000 from the hijack and saw Ben Grise call from the small blind.

The initial raiser folded but Moss called to see a {q-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop. Moss checked before Kurganov bet 22,000 and Grise went into the tank sat with 90,000 behind. After close to 90 seconds passed, Grise called, and Moss folded.

The {j-Spades} was revealed on the turn, and Grise checked after another 90 seconds of thought. Kurganov checked behind, and after the {j-Hearts} hit the river, Grise bet 25,000.

"Just that little one chip," said Kurganov with a smile on his face. "You have ace-king?" question Kurganov, but Grise gave no response.

"Bad read" replied Grise as Kurganov tried to work out Grise's exact holding.

"I hope you would have jammed if you had quads" said Kurganov.

"I'm not giving you any more information" laughed Grise, and Kurganov agreed.

The clock was then called by another player at the table and when Kurganov had 15 seconds left to act, he folded.

Gris revealed {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} for two pair, and won an epic pot after the dinner break.

"Pair the board! One time!" Randall Emmett demanded as he had {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for a set of sevens. However, the {3-Diamonds} river was a blank and Emmett was knocked back below the starting stack.

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The flop came {7-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, Borg check-called the 3,000 continuation-bet of Adeniya.

They both checked through the {9-Hearts} on the turn to the {7-Spades} on the river. Borg checked for the last time and Adeniya fired a bet of 10,000 over the line. Borg took a few seconds and then folded.

The hand after, Borg proudly announced he had won something after three-betting from the small blind and getting the rest of the table to fold.

"If I'm Gonna Lose I Wanna Lose to a Superstar"

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Freddy Deeb
Freddy Deeb

A player in middle position moved all in for 42,800 and action folded to Freddy Deeb on the button.

"All right," he said before pushing in a call. Both blinds folded and the hands were turned up.

Deeb: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

"It's a race," someone at the table said just before the flop came down {6-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

"Race my ass," Deeb's opponent said half-jokingly. Neither the {4-Spades} turn nor {6-Hearts} river changed a thing and Deeb scored the elimination.

"If I'm gonna lose I wanna lose to a superstar," the player said before exiting the Amazon Purple section.

Tony Blanchandin: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Little Victory

Level 10 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The flop fell {4-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and Jonathan Little checked from the small blind, which allowed the player in the big blind to bet 2,200. The third player in the pot folded before Little raised to 5,200, which received a call.

The {2-Hearts} hit the turn and Little bet 12,000, which was enough to win the pot.

"Queen-jack of hearts" questioned Litte's opponent.

"Not this time" laughed Little, "I did have a six, though."

The river was the {7-Spades}, Mcalpin eyed up her chips and decided to check, Richey bet out 35,000 and Mcalpin mucked her hand.
