Moolhuizen Loses One

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

The acton was picked up on a flop {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} with more than 12,500 in the middle. Mateusz Moolhuizen was facing a decision, his opponent being all in for 11,800 chips. After some time, Moolhuizen eventually called.

Mateusz Moolhuizen: {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Opponent: {6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Moolhuizen had some outs to bust his opponent, but didn't find any on the {3-Clubs} turn and {j-Diamonds} and the pot was sent to his opponent.

Mantin Check-Raises with the (Not So) Goods

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a three-way flop of {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, the first two players checked to the button, who bet 3,400. The middle position player thought for a second and called, but then Mitchell Mantin check-raised to 9,300 from the cutoff.

The original raiser on the button went into the tank but eventually decided on a fold, and then the action was to the middle position player. After a few moments of seemingly questioning life itself, he grudgingly folded his hand.

Mantin slapped his {a-Spades}{8-Spades} on the table for a whole lot of nothing and the table erupted in laughter.

"I've got a bullseye on me now," Mantin laughed as he raked in the pot.

Hallaert Cracks Kings

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Kenny Hallaert
Kenny Hallaert

Kenny Hallaert was caught all in on the button for his last 2,300 chips, and was facing a call from the small blind for the following showdown:

Kenny Hallaert: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The finalist of the 2016 World Series of Poker Main Event was in bad shape for a double up, but found a board {8-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} to give him a straight and the needed double up.

Kromes Nearly KOs Kings

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up with cards on the felt and the pot being awarded, however here is the hand as reported to us by a player at the table.

Preflop, Edward Welch opened from under the gun, with Sven Kromes calling from middle position, and the small blind calling also..

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}, and this saw the small blind shove with both players covered.

Welch then re-shoved, and Kromes called off.

Sven Kromes: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Edward Welch: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Small Blind: {j-Spades}{q-Clubs}

With the hands tabled and chips all in, the board finished {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Kromes picked up a full triple up.

Welch had him covered, and won a small side pot, keeping him still in the tournament.

Action Table

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Following on from the last hand involving Welch and Kromes, the very next hand saw another three-way all in!

This time the money all went in preflop. Early Position raised and Tom Knepp from the cutoff shoved for 8,600. The small blind reshoved for 11,800 and the original raiser called.

Tom Knepp: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Small Blind: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Early Position: {10-Spades}{j-Spades}

With everyone sharing each other's outs, Small Blind was a large favorite to triple up and eliminate Knepp.

The board had other ideas as it ran out {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs} though, giving Knepp the nuts and earing him a full triple up.

Both of the other players survived, with the Ace King winning the side pot for around 3,000.
