Kolev Administers the Cooler

Ryan Gray

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

A late position player got it in preflop for 92,000 against Boris Kolev. The late position player had A♣K♠ but found himself up against Kolev's A♥A♦.

The late position player caught a king on the flop to make it a little bit of a sweat for Kolev, but blanks on the turn and river kept his aces out front, and Kolev continued his day's work accumulating chips.

"Didn't he know you always have it?" a tablemate asked Kolev.

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

Ramiro Petrone was in the cutoff and facing an opponent in middle position. The board had already been completed with 5♥7♠6♦5♣A♣ in the middle. The player in middle position checked before Petrone put his opponent all-in for 40,500 effective.

With 48,500 already in the pot, there was a lot to think about for the player in middle position. However, after a few minutes, he let his hand go and Petrone shipped a significant pot without showdown.

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

A player from early position opened to 3,500 before Guy Taylor moved all in for his last 32,000 from middle position. Nishant Sharma made the call on the button and the original raiser called as well.

The flop came 7♦A♠Q♣. The original raiser checked and Sharma made it 20,000, receiving a call from his opponent.

On the 10♦ turn action checked to Sharma who bet 53,000, forcing a fold from the original raiser and leaving Sharma heads up against Taylor who was at risk.

Guy Taylor: A♣K♣
Nishant Sharma: A♦Q♠

Despite having the best hand preflop, Sharma had flopped two pair leaving Taylor drawing thin. The river improved neither player and Taylor was sent to the rail while Sharma scooped in a sizable pot.

The turn was the Q♥ and Rezaei thought about his move and bet 12,000. Martini called once again.

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

After the button raised to 3,000, Kyle Miholich, his trademark Jack in the Box clown head perched on his head, asked the dealer, "At this stage in the tournament, what is the maximum bet?"

With a knowing smile on her face the dealer replied, "All in?" and Miholich placed the remaining 20,500 of his dwindling stack in the middle. But it was still too much to eat for the button, and he tossed his cards away.

Goltz Gets Paid in Full

Christian Zetzsche

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

With some 71,000 in the middle to the J♠J♥3♥10♠3♦ river, the player in the big blind bet 50,000 with as many chips behind. Shem Goltz in the cutoff then pushed all-in and his opponent was seemingly struck. It took some 30 seconds for the big blind to call with A♥J♣ for jacks full of treys but Goltz had that beat with the J♦10♥.

"I was afraid of that ... I almost folded," the defeated opponent said while another player chimed in with "it is a cursed seat", indicating that several players had already been eliminated from there.

They walked through the hand for several minutes and Wesley Fei concluded that a check-call would have been better and it was overplayed.
