Moron Risks It All

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick in the small blind and Ignacio Moron in middle position were heads up on a turn of Q♥J♦7♦3♠. Chidwick checked to Moron, who fired a pot-sized bet of 150,000 chips.

Chidwick then checked again on the 7♥ river, after which Moron put in his stack of 418,000 chips. Chidwick spent some time in the tank but eventually found a fold, shipping the pot to Moron without showdown.

Ben Tollerene raised to 27,000 before Alex Foxen made it 108,000 to go in the cutoff. Tollerene put in a call before the 3♠K♦5♥ flop was dealt.

Foxen continued for 48,000 and Tollerene called. Foxen then check-called 68,000 on the 6♠ turn before the 5♦ river completed the board.

Foxen checked again and Tollerene went all in for his final 268,000 chips. Foxen found a fold, leaving himself with roughly a starting stack.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Coleman opened from the cutoff, then called a three-bet to 85,000 by Jeremy Ausmus in the small blind.

Ausumus led out for 50,000 following the 5♥9♠A♣ flop. Coleman made the call.

The J♠ turn saw both players check to the 7♠ river where Ausmus bet 500,000, enough to force his opponent all in. Coleman was not willing to wager his remaining stack in that particular spot, instead folding to fight in another pot.

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Leon Sturm and Ben Heath had arrived on a completed board of Q♦K♣9♥J♦8♣. Sturm checked out of the small blind, after which Heath put him all in for his final 250,000 or so chips.

Sturm slammed in a call and opened K♥Q♥ for two pair, but it was no good against the K♠10♠ of Heath, who had turned a straight.

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Giuseppe Iadisernia limped from under the gun and Mikita Badziakouski raised to 60,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Iadisernia who moved all in. Badziakouski snapped off for his remaining 155,000 to put himself at risk.

Mikita Badziakouski: A♦K♣ All in
Giuseppe Iadisernia: 8♥8♦

It was a coin flip, that is until the flop came 3♠4♣K♦ to vault Badziakouski into a commanding lead. It was a lead that would not last long, however, as Iadisernia drilled the 8♠ turn to wrap up the hand prior to the inconsequential A♥ river. Iadisernia continued to build on his impressive start while Badziakouski was left heading to the exits.

Alex Kulev raised to 22,000 in the hijack before Yang Wang made it 80,000 to go in the small blind. Kulev asked about Wang's stack before calling to see the 2♠J♥6♠ flop.

Wang continued for 60,000 chips. Kulev tanked a bit before announcing his all-in, covering Wang's stack of 230,000 chips.

Wang spent some thinking time of his own before deciding to fold, being left with 17 big blinds.
