Theze Plays It Tricky

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

In a three-bet pot worth 9,000, Rafael Souza checked the 2Q7 flop from under the gun to his neighbor Oliver Theze. Theze bet 3,000, which Souza called.

The J turn then checked through to the 4 river, where Souza led out for 3,500. Theze raised to 11,000, and Souza quickly called.

Theze tabled KK for a pair of kings, and Souza swiftly added his cards to the muck.

Tran on the Wrong End of Cooler

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Timmy Tran
Timmy Tran

Four players saw the dealer reveal a flop of 9107. Timmy Tran bet out from the big blind and was by a raise to 8,000 by Clinton Branchen in the hijack. After two folds, Tran jammed for 32,000, which was instantly called by Branchen.

Timmy Tran: 77 All in
Clinton Branchen: 99

Both players held a set, but unfortunately for Tran, his was the lowest one. There was no miracle one-outer on the K turn or 4 river, and Tran headed for the nearest exit.

Zumkehr Turns Around

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Big blind Gert Zumkehr check-raised Thomas Sotolotto's bet on the 6A6 flop to 6,000, and Sotolotto called from middle position. Zumkehr sized up to a massive 20,000 on the 8 turn, which Sotolotto also called.

Zumkehr shipped in his remaining 29,200 on the 2 river. Sotolotto snap-called, showing he had flopped a full house with A6.

Zumkehr had the final six in the deck in his hand, but his Q6 was not enough to win the pot as he was eliminated from the Main Event.

Pokers Classic Flip

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Shortly before the break, Deividas Kvaselis and Ray Medlin manoeuvred their stacks into the middle preflop, in a pot that would see the victor scoop a six-figure pot.

Deividas Kvaselis: AK All in
Ray Medlin: QQ

The 947 did little more than offer Kvaselis some backdoor opportunities. However, the door slammed shut on any potential help from running cards when the dealer revealed the 10 turn.

The dealer then burned and turned the 6, sealing Kvaselis' fate, and as the rest of the field headed for the dinner break, Kvaselis headed to the exit.

Vahabi Busts After Painful Runout

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Mehrdad Vahabi shoved for 4,200 from under the gun and received calls from Aaron Motoyama on the button and Michael Reisman in the big blind.

The flop came 224. Reisman bet 10,000 and Motoyama folded.

Mehrdad Vahabi: A9 All in
Michael Reisman: 55

Reisman's pocket fives were ahead but Vahabi made aces up on the A turn and became a big favorite to triple up. The 7 river gave Reisman the best hand with a flush and Vahabi was sent to the rail.
