Kolev Catches a Break

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Yuliyan Kolev
Yuliyan Kolev

Action for this hand was picked up on the flop, but details about preflop action were provided by a player at the table not involved in the hand.

Preflop, one of Yuliyan Kolev's cards were exposed. A player from across the table thought he had seen the {3-Spades}. It had actually been the {9-Spades}, but it had been exposed enough that he was dealt a new card, and play continued.

By the time the flop had hit the table, there was 28,000 in the pot and the board read {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{10-Clubs}. The button led out for 6,000. Kolev, in early position, made the call. Kolev called a bet of 12,000 on the {a-Diamonds} turn, before both players checked on the {2-Hearts} river. Kolev showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, and his opponent mucked his hand, awarding the pot to Kolev.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Scotty Nguyen
Scotty Nguyen

Scotty Nguyen has busted the main event. Details of his final hand were relayed by the table.

Nguyen opened to 9,000 from early position. Ken Le in the big blind tossed in the call.

The flop came out {2-}{6-}{q-} with a flush draw on board. Le checked to Nguyen who continued with a bet. Le went for the check-raise the flop. Nguyen and Le traded raises on the flop until all the chips were in the middle.

Scotty Nguyen: {a-}{a-}
Ken Le: {6-}{2-}

The turn and river didn't improve Nguyen who was left with no chips to be found and headed to the rail.

Kashihara Applies Maximum Pressure

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yuki Kashihara opened to 8,000 from early position and was called by a player in middle position as well as the big blind.

The big blind checked on the {2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop and Kashihara continued for 18,000. The middle position player called while the big blind folded to generate heads-up action heading to the turn.

The turn came {q-Diamonds} and Kashihara continued his aggression with a bet of 56,000. His opponent wasted little time in calling.

On the {10-Clubs} river Kashihara moved all in, covering his opponent. The middle position player went deep into the tank, standing up with his hands clasped together before moving them to his pockets. He then crossed his arms as he continued to ponder a decision for his tournament life. A sip of coffee came next in the routine before he sat back down, saying "all I can beat is aces with an ace of hearts". It was not long before the middle position player stood back up, this time holding his chips in both hands. Finally, he open folded {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} as Kashihara collected a large pot.

Polychronopoulos on the Rise

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Athanasios Polychronopoulos recalled a battle of the blinds in which Benjamin Hammann limped in and he checked with the {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}. The {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop was checked and the {k-Diamonds} fell on the turn. Hammann now bet 15,000 and Polychronopoulos called. After the {a-Spades} river, Hammann made it 52,000 to go and Polychronopoulos called to get shown the {j-Spades}{8-} for a busted draw.

The seat of Hammann is now open while Polychronopoulos only trails Lucia Navarro Martinez on the same table.

Vrabel Avoids the Showers

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Luke Vrabel
Luke Vrabel

Forrest Kollar opened to 8,000 from middle position before Luke Vrabel jammed for 138,000 from the big blind. Kollar quickly called.

Luke Vrabel : {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Forrest Kollar: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop was a safe one for the pocket jacks but the {6-Hearts} turn gave Kollar an open-ended straight draw. The {a-Spades} river paired the board and Vrabel picked up another Day 3 double.

Refaelowitz Chips up with Cowboys

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a flop of {2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades} opponents Moshe Refaelowitz and Ryan Ko were battling heads-up. Moshe led out for 27,000 and Ko quickly called.

The turn was the [4] and Moshe bet big again for 72,000 and Ko showed no fear as he called.

On the river {9-Diamonds}, Moshe seemed to look off in the distance as if deep in thought.

"How much do you have left?" he aksed of Ko.

"About 300,000," Ko replied.

Then Moshe placed out a huge bet of 190,000 and Ko quickly threw a chip in, only to see Moshe roll over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} for an overpair. Ko quickly mucked and counted out the chips to give to Moshe who now chipped up to over one million.

"I thought I was trapping you" Ko told Moshe.

"You have ace-queen?" someone at the table inquired.

"I mean yeah, what am I supposed to do?" Ko responded, deflated.
