Berenji-Nataj Gets Value from Quad Kings

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A player from early position opened for 15,000 and Mohammad Berenji-Nataj three-bet 40,000 from late position. The early-position player called.

The flop came {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and both players quickly checked.

On the {k-Diamonds} turn, the early-position player checked a second time and Berenji-Nataj put out a thin bet of 20,000. His opponent called.

On the {4-Clubs} river, Berenji-Nataj once again put out a bet of 20,000 and was quickly called.

Berenji-Nataj showed {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for quad kings, overwhelming his opponent's {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Greg Mueller
Greg Mueller

"I turned 50 last year, but this year was the first time I tried to play this event. I just loved it!"

Greg Mueller has been eliminated in the money in his first-ever Senior Event, but he looks like a happy man.

Two players went all in before the flop, and he called with {a-}{q-}. Unfortunately for him, he met two players with big hands, aces and kings!

Marc Cutter held aces and Mueller failed to create the sensation and with a few chips left, he was eliminated on the next hand.

Titeca Hits Runner-Runner Flush to Crack Aces, Survive

Level 15 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pierre Titeca opened from under the gun and the small blind three-bet. Titeca moved all in for 90,000 and was snap-called.

Pierre Titeca: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Small Blind: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Titeca had less than a 12% chance to win and barely improved on the {2-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs} flop.

However, the {6-Clubs} gave him a 25% chance to hit his flush or trip queens on the river.

To everyone's shock, the {2-Clubs} hit the river to crack the small blind's aces and leave the player with fewer than 30,000 chips.

Meanwhile, Titeca enjoyed a full double up and took his stack to nearly 200,000.

Underwood Burns Baker's Aces

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

A {9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop was on the table when action was caught, with Dennis Underwood all in from the blinds. Steve Baker had a decision and finally made a crying call, in late position.

Dennis Underwood: {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Steve Baker: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}

Baker received the bad news, Underwood made trip nines on the flop and cracked his aces. The turn {5-Hearts} and the river {k-Hearts} did not change anything, and Underwood took the pot.

Brunner Wins Huge Pot with Pocket Kings

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

Markus Brunner, in the cutoff, was involved in an all in preflop hand with the hijack worth nearly 225,000 chips.

Hijack: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Markus Brunner: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {5-Clubs}{9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts} and Brunner was able to avoid a bad beat and see his stack soar to over a quarter of a million chips.

Driggers Takes it Down

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

Stephen Driggers, in the small blind, called a raise to 10,000 by the cutoff. The big blind then moved all in for 18,000. The cutoff put in a four bet to 30,000, and Driggers called.

On the {3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop, Driggers led out for 30,000. His opponent thought for a moment or two, before making the laydown to let Driggers and the big blind have a heads-up showdown.

Big Blind: {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Stephen Driggers: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Driggers was well ahead with top pair and was able to fade his opponent's king as the runout came {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}. Driggers scooped the pot while his opponent departed for the rail.

Jungmann Stops Here

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

Now players are back in action, a lot of shortstack players are trying to do their best to come back in this tournament.

When everybody folded to him, Steven Jungmann tried to take the blinds from the button, announcing all in for 56,000. The player in the small blind folded, but not Michael Johnson in the big blind, who jumped on this occasion to try to double up, with almost the same stack.

Steven Jungmann: {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Michael Johnson: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran {4-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and Johnson's ace-king was enough to win.
