Team Shin On Top; Kerber's Flop Bets Works

Kai Cocklin

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Team Shin continue to chip up as Hyomo Kang got a few raises through without any pushback.

Quirin Heinz of Team Heinz then raised to 240,000 from middle position and Kelvin Kerber of Team Kerber called on the button. Dominic Coombe of Team Mccartney also called from the small blind.

The spirit of Las Vegas came out on the 7♠7♣7♦ flop, which checked around to Kerber. He fired out a small bet, which was enough to win the pot as both of his opponents folded.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Dominic Coombe of Team Mccartney opened up the action with a raise to 250,000 in the cutoff. His only caller was big blind Quirin Heinz of Team Heinz.

On a flop of 2♥J♥10♣ Coombe went for a continuation bet of 125,000 after being checked to, and Heinz called. He then folded to Coombe's 600,000 turn bet, as the dealer put out the J♣ Coombe's chip stack has now grown higher than his German opponent's.

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Hicham Mahmouki and Kelvin Kerber just had their stacks in the middle preflop, but it ended in a chop as both held Big Slick.

Shortly after Mahmouki limped from the small blind and Kerber checked his option in the big blind.

The action checked to the river on the 9♥2♣4♠7♣10♦ board, where Mahmouki checked and Kerber bet 180,000. Mahmouki thought for a short time and called.

Kerber then showed Q♥10♥ for a rivered pair of tens, and Mahmouki mucked.

Eliot Thomas

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Daniel Negreanu will not defend his $50,000 Poker Players Championship crown after being knocked out of the event by none other than Phil Hellmuth.

Negreanu, who ended a decade-long bracelet drought when he won last year's event for $1,178,703, would see his tournament end on Day 3 this year, after the seventeen-time bracelet winner Hellmuth made a Queen-high flush to send Kid Poker to the rail.

Level 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Zhou Lin of Team Qian raised to 200,000 and Hicham Mamouki of Team Boujmala called from the big blind. Both players checked the 9♠9♦6♥ flop. Mamouki checked the 2♠ turn, Lin bet 200,000, and Mamouki called. Two checks followed on the 4♠ river.

Mamouki opened up A♣8♠ and Lin mucked, much to the delight of the French rail. After the hand, Mamouki tagged himself out for Samy Boujmala, who joined the table with the crowd singing his name.
