Loeffler Goes For "All Of It"

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to Kane Kalas in the small blind who raised to 115,000. Kilian Loeffler called in the big blind as they went heads-up to the K♣7♠8♦ flop.

Kalas continued for 90,000 and Loeffler munched down on his fruit cup before moving all in. "All of it," he said, pushing the rest of his 400,000 in the middle.

Kalas quickly mucked as Loeffler took the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dash Dudley min-raised the button and earned a call from Eelis Pärssinen out of the big blind. They checked the K♠J♥5♣ flop and Pärssinen then bet the 7♠ turn for 220,000, picking up a call from Dudley.

Pärssinen also bet the 8♠ river for 425,000 and Dudley immediately sighed, then murmured to himself. The reluctant call by Dudley followed and Pärssinen tabled the A♠8♦6♦4♠ for the nut flush.

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Tyler Smith, who is sitting on a huge stack, opened the action with a raise to 100,000 from the hijack. Kane Kalas was in the next seat over and three-bet all in for a total of 360,000. Smith made the call and the eight cards were revealed.

Kane Kalas: A♠A♥5♠2♠
Tyler Smith: Q♥Q♦5♣4♣

With just 41 players left in the field and 30 of them getting paid, the bubble is already nearing. Kalas would still have hope of making the money, however, when his aces held on K♦8♠K♣K♥5♦.

In a battle of the blinds, the flop showed K♠9♠4♣ and James Obst bet 45,000. [Removed:422] raised to 155,000 and Obst called.

The 3♠ turn slowed down the action and both checked, which also repeated on the 5♥ river.

Bogdan Capitan: A♠9♠5♦4♣
Krasimir Yankov: Q♥J♥8♦3♦

Yankov had two pair and the lead, while Capitan was on a straight draw. The K♥ turn was no help, but Capitan caught the 4♠ on the river as he let out a loud "Yes" and doubled up.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Chance Kornuth raised the pot to 105,000 with 55,000 behind and Ky Nguyen then three-bet the pot. Joao Vieira called all-in out of the big blind and Kornuth did so, too.

Chance Kornuth: A♠Q♠9♠9♦
Joao Vieira: Q♥Q♣10♦7♣
Ky Nguyen: 9♣8♣7♥6♠

The board ran out A♥5♥4♥10♥K♣ and Kornuth asked "I think I won?" with a smirk on the face. He indeed tripled for 160,000 while Vieira doubled the 85,000 he had behind against Nguyen.

In the meanwhile, Freddy Deeb has been eliminated from one table over as 45 hopefuls remain.
