Flop Raise Takes it for Pärssinen

Erick Torres

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Lou Garza opened from the cutoff to 75,000, which led to a call from Eelis Pärssinen on the button. Seth Davies also called from the big blind to end the action preflop.

Davies checked the flop of A♥6♦K♠. Garza chose to bet 90,000. Pärssinen, however, wanted to play for more and raised to 265,000. This cleared out Davies, and Garza paused to give it some thought before he also folded as Pärssinen dragged in the chips.

Lou Garza	2,300,000 770,000	770,000

Eelis Parssinen	1,375,000 195,000	195,000

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With Evan Krentzman already all-in, and with roughly 800,000 already in the pot on a flop of 4♣J♦6♠. Christopher Frank bet around 300,000 to put Jason Koon all-in. Koon called, and Frank had the chance to send two players to the rail.

Evan Krentzman: A♥10♦10♣4♥ All in
Jason Koon: K♥9♦8♥5♦ All in
Christopher Frank: K♦K♠J♣5♥

The 2♠ came on the turn, followed by the 3♠ river. Frank had the best hand with his pair of kings, meaning Koon and Krentzman were out.

Level 12 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a heads-up flop of J♥7♠5♠ with 120,000 in the middle, Eelis Pärssinen in the hijack ended up all-in and at risk for 725,000 against Veselin Karakitukov out of the big blind.

Eelis Pärssinen: K♣K♠7♥4♠ All in
Veselin Karakitukov: 10♣9♣5♥5♦

Pärssinen needed spades or kings and caught up with the A♠ on the turn. The river was the 2♠ and with the board failing to pair, Karakitukov had to surrender a portion of his stack to "EEE27."

Veselin Karakitukov	2,490,000 810,000	810,000

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Three players saw the flop come out J♠9♠8♦. Jason Koon checked from the big blind, Joni Jouhkimainen checked from the cutoff, but Sam Soverel bet 80,000 from the button. Koon called, but Jouhkimainen folded.

The 6♥ turn checked through for the 9♦ to fall on the river. Koon checked, and after a bit of thinking, Soverel checked behind.

Koon turned over A♠K♠8♠6♠ for just a pair of eights, and took down the pot as Soverel tossed his cards face down to the dealer.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Down to a short stack, Shrinag Gaddipati was all-in and up against Seth Davies in the next seat.

Shrinag Gaddipati: A♣9♥8♥4♣ All in
Seth Davies: A♠K♠10♥6♦

What followed was a roller coaster runout of A♥8♠7♣3♦9♣ in which Gaddipati's rivered two pair were no good against a ten-high straight.

Seth Davies	2,000,000 950,000	950,000
