Chun's Queens Cracked

Kai Cocklin

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

Philip Chun's stack was eradicated at the hands of Loi Phan as play approaches the dinner break.

The chips were already in the middle and the full board of 9♠10♠K♠4♦5♦ was showing. Chun had tabled Q♣Q♥ but Phan flopped a set with 9♦9♥ which earned him the pot.

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

Adam Hendrix opened to 8,500 from middle position and was called by Lucas Greenwood on the button and the player in the big blind.

The flop came 8♠8♥Q♣ and it was checked to Greenwood, who bet 8,000. The big blind folded and Hendrix called.

Both players checked on the 6♥ turn and Hendrix took the initiative with an 11,500 bet on the 5♦ river.

Greenwood laid his hand down after verifying the amount of the bet and Hendrix collected the pot without showing.

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

Action folded around to Oliver Bithell who moved all in on the button for 39,000. Fabiano Kovalski called in the small blind and the two opponents were flipping.

Oliver Bithell: 2♠2♦ All in
Fabiano Kovalski: A♣J♠

Right in the window was the 2♣, followed by J♥8♦6♣Q♦ and Bithell dragged in a pot worth nearly 90,000 to get himself going in the right direction.

Fabiano Kovalski	464,000 54,500	54,500
Oliver Bithell	89,200 42,800	42,800

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

Matthias Eibinger had raised from early position and the player in the big blind defended. Eibinger then continued for 7,500 chips on the J♣9♠4♥ flop and the big blind check-called.

On the 3♦ turn, Eibinger sized up to 18,000 chips, which the big blind check-raised to 50,000.

Eibinger took some time before he found a fold and was left with just over 30 big blinds.

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

Josh Atkinson raised to 9,000 from early position and Anuj Kwatra called next to act. Jesse Capps, who won his way into the 2024 WSOP Main Event by winning a Charity Series of Poker (CSOP) tournament earlier this year, came along from the cutoff and the player on the button called as well.

Both blinds folded and it was four-way action to a flop of 8♠10♠8♦. Atkinson checked, Kwatra bet 15,000, and both Capps and the button folded. Atkinson then grabbed a stack of green T25,000 chips and put them into the middle. Kwatra had 99,000 behind and thought long and hard before calling off.

Anuj Kwatra: Q♥Q♣ All in
Josh Atkinson: A♣A♦

Kwatra was behind with pocket queens and watched helplessly as the 7♦ appeared on the turn followed by the J♣ on the river.

Joshua Atkinson	750,000 492,000	492,000
Jesse Capps	340,000 13,000	13,000

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

Bojan Gledovic opened under the gun to 8,500 and was three-bet by Ardit Kurshumi from the next seat to 20,500. When it got back to Gledovic, he made the call.

The flop came Q♥J♣9♦ where Gledovic check-called a bet of 14,000 from Kurshumi.

On the 3♥ turn, Gledovic checked, Kurshumi bet 28,000, and Gledovic called.

A J♠ completed the runout and both players elected to check. Gledovic tabled K♣K♥ for an overpair to the board, and Kurshumi mucked.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bojan Gledovic	340,000 130,000	130,000
Ardit Kurshumi	200,000 98,000	98,000

Mark Klecan: 7♠7♦ All in
Ronnie Akrawi: K♣Q♣

The dealer put out a J♠K♠A♠4♣10♠ board and Klecan got there on the river with a seven-high flush to extend his tournament run.
