Krela Gets One Sixth as Zack and Hansen Split the Rest

Level 15

Big O

Action was picked up on the K87 flop in hand between Gus Hansen from under the gun, who had limp-called preflop, Jonathan Krela from the hijack, and Daniel Zack from the button.

Krela led for 35,000 into a pot of around 75,000 and both Zack and Hansen called.

On the 5 turn, Hansen led for 178,000, Krela jammed for 290,000, Zack called off for 204,000, and Hansen called off his 221,000 stack.

Daniel Zack: AQ842 All in
Gus Hansen: A9832 All in
Jonathan Krela: AJQ32

All three players had the nut low while Zack and Hansen held the same high with a pair of eights with an ace kicker. Krela held the nut flush draw.

The river was the 5 as Hansen and Zack split the high and all three players chopped the low. Hansen quartered Krela in the small side pot.

"Old Faithful" Helps Friedman Bust Claassen

Level 15

Seven Card Stud

Christopher Claassen got his last 42,000 in the middle with the K showing and was up against Adam Friedman with 8.

Claassen turned over K5 for a pair of kings, but Friedman had AA in the hole. Friedman ended up improving to two pair on his 7744Q board, while Claassen had 32J5 and squeezed his last card, throwing the Q into the muck on his way to the exit.

"Old faithful has never let me down," Friedman said about the Stud round.

"Just get aces in the hole against kings," Andrew Kelsall added.
