Adam Lamers

Level 15 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Mustapha Kanit made it 100,000 to go on the button and Galen Hall called from the big blind. The flop came 7♠7♥5♣ and Kanit continued with a bet of 65,000. Hall check-raised to 200,000 and Kanit was forced to give up his hand.

Despite the small setback in the hand, Kanit is still holding a comfortable chip lead with just 29 players remaining.

Matthias Eibinger raised from under the gun and Ognyan Dimov moved all in next to act. Action folded around to Eibinger, and he made the call.

Ognyan Dimov: A♥Q♥ All in
Matthias Eibinger: A♦10♥

The 10♠3♠2♥ flop was trouble for Dimov, but the Q♦ turn was a life saver for him. The 4♣ was safe and Dimov doubled up.

Level 15 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Coleman had gotten down to a very short stack, and shoved all in from under the gun. He was called by Brian Rast on the button.

David Coleman: K♠7♥ All in
Brian Rast: A♥Q♠

The A♠Q♦J♥ flop didn't look good for Coleman nor did the 6♠, but the 10♣ staved off elimination for him.

In the very next hand, Rast raised in the cutoff and Coleman went all in again. Rast made the call and the cards were revealed.

David Coleman: 7♠7♦ All in
Brian Rast: 4♥4♦

The board of Q♦8♦3♣A♦2♥ gave Coleman another double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Brian Rast	2,100,000 280,000	280,000

David Coleman	790,000 110,000	110,000

Level 15 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jared Bleznick raised from the cutoff to 65,000 and saw calls from Pavels Spirins in the small blind and David Peters in the big blind.

The flop came 9♦8♥K♥, Spirins and Peters both checked, and Bleznick continued for 125,000. Spirins called and Peters folded.

The turn brought the A♥ and again Spirins checked. This time, Bleznick bet out for 225,000, and Spirins folded. Bleznick was pushed the pot uncontested and has built his stack back up after taking a couple of hits.

David Peters	1,800,000 1,090,000	1,090,000

Level 15 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paulius Vaitiekunas raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Aram Oganyan defended from the big blind. The flop came 9♠9♣7♦ and both players checked to the 7♠ on the turn. Two more checks and the 10♠ landed on the river.

Oganyan finally took a shot at the pot with a bet of 250,000 but Vaitiekunas looked him up. Oganyan tabled 6♠6♦ for a counterfeit pair while Vaitiekunas held A♦10♣ for a better two pair.

Moorman Ramps Up Preflop Aggression

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Nick Vazquez

Level 14 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Just after putting in a four-bet against Jared Bleznick, Chris Moorman was at it again in the very next hand. He started with a raise to 60,000. He then faced a reraise from Kristen Foxen in the small blind to 240,000. Moorman responded with a four-bet to 440,000, which got a fold from Foxen.

Another player at the table commented on Moorman's aggression, to which Moorman said "It's my era". This of course references Moorman's era of online dominance, where he was one of the best online tournament players in the world and preflop aggression was more typical than we see in today's game.
