Kolsun Turns a Boat...Against Feda's Quads

Brett Slezak

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Waheed Feda from middle position and Elias Kolsun from the cutoff were tangled in a pot.

With the board reading J♣3♦3♣10♣ on the turn with 16,000 in the pot, Kolsun got his final 25,100 into the middle with Feda making the call to put him at risk.

Elias Kolsun: 10♠10♥ All in
Waheed Feda: 3♠3♥

It was a disgusting cooler as the table stood aghast at the hands tabled in front of them. Feda had flopped quad threes before Kolsun turned a full house. Kolsun still had one out which did not come on the 4♥ river as all he could do was laugh on his way out of the tournament area.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Steven Cabas opened from early position to 1,200, and former Player of the Year, Dan Zack, was next to act. Zack flicked in a call before action folded to the big blind, who came along to see three, too.

Cabas continued with a bet of 1,800 on the 7♥10♠Q♦ flop, which only Zack called.

Both Cabas and Zack checked the 6♦ turn, on their way to the 7♦ river.

Cabas continued with another check, which prompted Zack to place a bet of 5,000. Cabas made the immediate call and was able to beat the K♥Q♥ of Zack with his A♥Q♠.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ralph Bell: A♦A♣ All in
Chun Liu: K♠K♦

It was the most brutal cooler that the deck could have offered. No sweat was required for Bell on the J♠8♦5♦8♠5♥ runout as he collected the full double in a pot of almost 300 big blinds.

Henson called and checked the 9♣ river. Leiva checked back, mucking his hand as Henson tabled A♦10♦ for two pair.

Stewart Morrison

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

When the action got to Parker Talbot, there was already a raise to 1,400 in front of him. He opted to call, and this brought Miltiadis Kyriakides along too, from the button.

The initial raiser checked on the A♦4♠5♦ flop, giving Talbot the green light to take over the betting lead, doing so for 2,000. Kyriakides called, and the initial raiser folded.

Talbot turned the heat up on the 9♣ turn, putting out a bet of 6,000. This was too rich for Kyriakides, who folded, conceding the pot to Talbot.

Miltiadis Kyriakides	129,200 44,200	44,200

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

From early position, Bret Yoder jammed for 16,600, and Eran Aydin was the only caller from the hijack.

Bret Yoder: Q♥J♠ All in
Eran Aydin: A♣K♣

Yoder was behind to the Big Slick of Aydin, but he did have two live cards working for him. The J♥4♣3♣ flop gave Yoder a pair of jacks, while Aydin had a flush draw. The 8♠ turn and 10♥ river didn't help Aydin, and Yoder earned the double-up.

Eran Aydin	61,000

Heads-up to the K♥Q♠4♦ flop, Grzegorz Glowny check-called a bet of 1,100 by Julien Thome and then checked the J♣ turn for Thome to check it back. They headed to the 6♣ river on which Glowny now led for 5,000.

Thome went into a brief tank and eventually called, but mucked to the J♥J♦ of Glowny.

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a four-bet pot worth 43,000 to the 3♣5♠K♦J♦ turn, Jeffrey Mulder piled in enough chips from the cutoff to put button Masashi Oya all-in. Oya counted his stack of 65,000 multiple times, claiming to have a king.

Eventually, the number one on the Japanese all-time money list let his hand go, showing K♠9♠ as he did so.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Meng-Ling Lin came in with a raise to 1,200 from early position before Cherish Andrews three-bet to 3,600 from the next seat. After the rest of the table had folded, Lin made the call.

Lin check-called a bet of 2,500 from Andrews on the 8♠3♣K♦ flop.

The 10♥ turn and 2♣ river checked through, and Lin flipped over K♠Q♥ for a pair of kings. Andrews mucked, and Lin pulled in the pot.
