Schwartz's Kicker is Better

Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andjelko Andrejevic limped from the cutoff, and Noah Schwartz called from the button. Stephen Chidwick completed from the small blind before Joni Jouhkimainen made it 20,000 out of the big blind. Andrejevic and Schwartz called, but Chidwick folded.

The A♣8♣9♠ flop and 9♣ turn checked through for the A♦ to come on the river. Jouhkimainen bet 6,000, which only Schwartz called. Jouhkimainen showed just A♥7♦, causing Schwartz to flip over A♠Q♣4♦3♠ for trip aces with a queen kicker to win the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Isaac Haxton made it 14,000 from middle position with Nick Schulman calling from the small blind, and Ben Tollerene calling from the big blind.

The three players checked the 4♠Q♠9♥ flop to see the 5♦ appear on the turn. Schulman led out for 35,000, which was only called by Tollerene.

The K♠ landed on the river and Schulman bet 40,000. Tollerene raised the pot, prompting Schulman to let go of his hand.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three ways to the 8♥6♣5♣ flop, Tomer Daniel from under the gun had 15,000 chips out in front and Robert Cowen then bumped it up to 88,000 on the button. Gabriel Andrade called from the big blind and Daniel folded.

After the 3♠ turn, Andrade checked and Cowen pushed all in to get snap called.

Robert Cowen: 10♣9♣8♠5♦ All in
Gabriel Andrade: 10♦9♥7♠4♣

Andrade had flopped the nut straight in the big blind while Cowen had two pair, a gutshot straight draw and a flush draw. The river paired the board but the 3♥ was of no help for Cowen, who became the first casualty.

Gabriel Andrade	850,000 250,000	250,000
Tomer Daniel	570,000 30,000	30,000

Manuel Stojanovic raised to 12,000 from the hijack. Isaac Haxton called next to act. Jesse Lonis and Gruffudd Pugh-Jones called from the blinds.

All players checked the Q♥7♣2♦ flop. On the 5♠ turn, Lonis led out for 38,000. Only Haxton made the call.

The river was the 2♣, and both players checked. Lonis turned over J♣8♠8♦6♠, and that won him the pot.

Noah Boeken raised to 14,000 on the button and Andjelko Andrejevic called from the big blind, then check-called the A♣10♠8♦ flop for 12,000. They checked down the 3♣ turn and 10♣ river for Boeken to win with the A♠K♥9♠5♣.

Laszlo Bujtas then opened to 14,000 and Boeken called, as did Andrejevic from the small blind. The 4♦3♦2♠ flop brought a bet of 25,000 by Boeken and he took it down again.

Karakitukov Jams Into Lonis

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jesse Lonis raised to 9,000 and Veselin Karakitukov three-bet the pot thereafter for Lonis to call. On the K♦8♦3♣ flop, Lonis check-raised from 28,000 to 72,000 and Karakitukov came along to the 8♥ on the turn. Lonis now bet 83,000 to earn a call and bet another 190,000 on the Q♥ river.

Karakitukov now pushed all in for 601,000 and that sent Lonis into the tank. With two time banks gone, Lonis sent his cards into the muck before they headed into a slightly shorter break than everyone else.
