No Love for Foxen

Adam Lamers

Level 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On the first hand of the day, Kristen Foxen found herself all in and at risk for 245,000. She was called by Sam Soverel with a bigger stack and Foxen was in need of some help.

Kristen Foxen: A♥4♥ All in
Sam Soverel: K♠K♥

The flop came 8♥8♣5♠ and Soverel was still out front with his pair of kings. The J♥ on the turn gave Foxen a flush draw but she couldn't find a heart on the 7♦ river.

Level 9 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Viktor Blom opened to 32,000 from under the gun and Biao Ding flat-called in middle position. Brock Wilson three-bet to 140,000 in the big blind and Blom just called. Ding four-bet all in for 338,000 and Wilson called, sending Blom's cards into the muck.

Biao Ding: A♠J♣ All in
Brock Wilson: A♦Q♥

Wilson was in a dominating position and the flop of Q♠7♠5♦ put him even further ahead with a pair of queens. Ding turned some hope on the J♥ but the 3♠ on the river sent Ding to the rail.

Adam Lamers

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Kathy Lehne shoved all in for a little over 200,000 in the hijack and Oliver Weis called from the small blind. The two hands were tabled and they were off to the races.

Kathy Lehne: 7♥7♣ All in
Oliver Weis: A♣Q♦

The flop of 10♠6♣3♦ favored Lehne with the pocket pair. The 8♦ on the turn was also safe but the Q♥ on the river gave Weis a pair of queens, eliminating Lehne from the tournament.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After arriving at the table, three players had all of their chips in the middle preflop and none of them had a pair. Philip Sternheimer was the short stack with around 190,000, Aliaksei Boika was next in line at risk for 572,000, and Orpen Kisacikoglu had both players covered.

Philip Sternheimer: A♠8♦ All in
Aliaksei Boika: A♦Q♦ All in
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♣J♥

The flop came Q♥Q♣2♥ and Boika took a commanding lead with trip queens. The 9♠ on the turn gave Kisacikoglu a straight draw but the 3♣ bricked out on the river.

Aliaksei Boika	1,350,000 670,000	670,000
Orpen Kisacikoglu	132,000 527,000	527,000

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and Orpen Kisacikoglu called out of his short stack from the big blind. Kisacikoglu check-folded to a bet of 25,000 on the K♦10♦2♦ flop.

On the next deal, Gregory Jensen opened to 40,000 from the button and called when Kisacikoglu moved all in for 73,000.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♦3♠ All in
Gregory Jensen: 10♥9♦

Kisacikoglu found an ace on the A♠10♦10♣ flop but was drawing to two outs as Jensen made trips. The K♥2♠ runout gave Jensen the winner for the bust out.

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sean Perry was down to around 200,000 chips and pushed all in from the hijack. Seth Davies was in the blinds and made the call to put Perry at risk.

Sean Perry: A♣2♣ All in
Seth Davies: 6♥6♦

The flop came Q♥J♦2♦ and Davies was still able to avoid the dreaded ace that Perry was looking for. The 5♦ on the turn narrowed the outs even more and the J♥ on the river locked up the win for Davies.
