Peters Hangs On

Shirley Ang

Level 10 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Peters seemed to have lost the majority of his stack earlier today as he shoved his last 102,000 in from the middle position after Jovan Kenjic had raised to 24,000 from under the gun. The action folded back to Kenjic who took some time, used a time bank and then called with the bigger stack.

David Peters: Q♥Q♣ All in
Jovan Kenjic: J♥9♥

The board ran out K♣4♦A♣K♠8♦ for Peters to hold with the queens for two pair and the double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Jovan Kenjic	660,000 40,000	40,000

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Wai Kiat Lee opened under the gun to 25,000, and when action folded to Cherish Andrews in middle position, she put in a three-bet to 65,000.

Lee wanted to play for more and four-bet to 155,000. This was enough to shut Andrews down as she returned her cards to the dealer.

Martin Kabrhel raised to 122,000 from the middle position and kept 1,000 behind. The action folded to Michael Moncek in the big blind, who made the call.

The flop came 4♥6♦K♠, Moncek bet, and Kabrhel put his last chip in.

Martin Kabrhel: Q♦J♦ All in
Michael Moncek: Q♣10♠

The rest of the board was completed with the 5♥ on the turn and the J♥ on the river for Kabrel to river the pair of jacks to double up with.

NOT LIKE THAT!

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised in middle position, and when action folded to Michael Moncek, he moved all in for 151,000.
Kabrhel was the only player to call, and the players were off to a runout.

Michael Moncek: A♥7♦ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♦J♦

The flop came 7♥5♥Q♠, prompting Kabrhel to exclaim his signature catchphrase, "Not like that!".

The runout was no help to Kabrhel, who asked his opponent to apologise when the board ran out A♠3♣. Moncek obliged, apologising as he pulled in the pot.

Michael Moncek	320,000 165,000	165,000

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Wai Kiat Lee in the big blind and Brad Owen in the hijack were heads up on a flop of 5♠6♥6♦. With 92,000 already in the pot, Owen bet 45,000, which Lee check-raised to 95,000.

Owen then put Lee all-in for 235,000, and Lee snap-called for his tournament life.

Wai Kiat Lee: 7♥6♣ All in
Brad Owen: Q♠Q♥

Owen's ladies were outflopped by Lee. The 3♥ turn and 5♣ river did not upgrade Owen's hand, and he paid Lee his double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Brad Owen	960,000 140,000	140,000

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Left short-stacked from a recent encounter, Martin Kabrhel raised to roughly 105,000, leaving a single 1,000 chip behind.
Richard Green moved all in from the big blind to commit Kabrhel's stack.

Kabrhel took a moment before putting his one remaining chip in the middle.

Martin Kabrhel: K♣J♠ All in
Richard Green: A♦J♦

The flop came 2♣A♣8♥, and it didn't look good for Kabrhel.

Sure enough, the turn 6♠ and river K♥ were no help, and Kabrhel headed to the exit.

Richard Green	340,000 190,000	190,000

Level 11 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Richard Green made it 32,000 from the button before Emilien Pitavy jammed from the big blind for 440,000. Green had slighlty fewer chips than Pitavy, so the raise was for the remainder of his stack. After standing up and doing some inventory, Green called

Richard Green: A♣9♥ All in
Emilien Pitavy: A♦5♦

Pitavy was in rough shape as Green had the better kicker to go with his ace. The flop came down 7♥8♠Q♠, helping neither player. The 6♥ turn provided Pitavy with a few extra outs, and the 4♣ river imprived him to a straight, Green hit the rail and Pitavy moved up to 840,000 in chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Emilien Pitavy	840,000 690,000	690,000
