Kronwitter Takes a Big One Off Karakitukov

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

More than 300,000 was already in the pot when Jonas Kronwitter and Veselin Karakitukov saw the river on a board of {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Spades}. Karakitukov checked and action was on Kronwitter.

Kronwitter tanked for more than a minute, using up two of his time bank chips, before also checking behind. "You win," Karakitukov said as Kronwitter showed {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Hearts} for a flush.

Ben Lamb had a bet of 82,000 in front of him on a board showing {k-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Action was on Ian O'Hara, who used two time banks before putting in the chips to call.

Lamb turned over {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades} for the nut flush and O'Hara mucked.

"How did you like that flop," tablemate Eric Kurtzman said.

"What a luckbox," added Noah Schwartz.

Shaun Deeb opened to 9,000 from under the gun and Adam Hendrix flat-called on the button. The big blind also called.

All three players checked on the {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop and the big blind led out with a bet of 20,000 on the {5-Spades} turn. Deeb called and Hendrix folded.

The big blind fired a bet of 35,000 on the {k-Diamonds} river and Deeb shuffled around a trio of chips before putting them out for a call.

"Pair of fives," the opponent announced.

The fives were no good as Deeb turned over {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

Five players saw the flop on a board of {5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Eric Kurtzman in middle position bet 25,000 before Noah Schwartz in the hijack raised to 82,000.

Next to act, AP Garza announced pot to 310,000 and everyone else folded. With action back on Schwartz, he went into the tank for more than a minute, tossing two time banks into the middle.

He eventually folded, angrily throwing his cards back to the dealer as Garza raked in the pot.
