Zumkehr Turns Around

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Big blind Gert Zumkehr check-raised Thomas Sotolotto's bet on the 6♠A♦6♦ 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 A♣6♣.

Zumkehr had the final six in the deck in his hand, but his Q♥6♥ was not enough to win the pot as he was eliminated from the Main Event.

Cero Zuccarello: 9♦9♣ All in
Aditya Prasetyo: 4♦4♣

Both players flopped a set but Zuccarello had the best one. However things changed when Prasetyo hit quads with the 4♥Q♥ runout to eliminate Zuccarello.

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: A♥K♥ All in
Ray Medlin: Q♠Q♥

The 9♥4♣7♠ 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.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Hitesh Patel raised to 1,100 in the cutoff and on the button Christophe Schild called.

The flop rolled out Q♠6♠7♥ and Patel checked over to Schild who bet 1,400 which Patel called.

On the turn 3♥, Patel checked over to Schild who bet 3,500 and Patel called once more.

Both players checked the A♣ river and Patel shook his head. Schild turned over Q♦J♦ for a pair of queens and it was good for the pot.

Kniep fired 7,500 on the A♥ river, and Stever quickly folded.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of Q♥6♥7♣ with a bit over 10,000 in the middle, Joao Simao checked from the big blind to Thomas Bolton, who bet 4,000 from early position. Simao called.

The J♣ fell on the turn and Simao checked again. Bolton kept the aggression on for a bet of 7,000 and Simao let his hand go after a bit of thought.
