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 in middle position moved all-in for 25,100 on a flop of 4♠5♥9♠ and was called by Aditya Prasetyo to his right.

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.

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.

Everyone checked the 3♥4♠10♣ flop to see the 8♠ appear on the turn. Kniep bet 2,600, which only Stever called.

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

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.
