Carroll Stays in Contention

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Casey Carroll was all in with a short stack and J♦J♠, up against two over cards that were instantly mucked when neither of them came on the 8♣6♠4♠6♥2♣ runout.

Fellow short stack David Blake in the four seat mentioned he had folded pocket deuces and Caroll replied "not like that.”

Kabrhel's Bounty Collected

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jacob Wilson

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded all the way around to the button, who was none other than Martin Kabrhel. "I am all in. Seventeen Million," he announced. In actual fact, it was just 14,000. Franklin Machado on his direct left reshoved, prompting the big blind to get out of the way. "I have casino," said Kabrhel, showing his higher card, "Royale," showing the other.

Martin Kabrhel: K♥Q♣ All in
Franklin Machado: A♥K♦

Machado started celebrating, to which Kabrhel questioned, "Why are you happy? You have three outs after flop." Kabrhel's career in fortune telling was short-lived, as the J♥3♣K♠ flop kept him behind. The 3♠4♦ runout sent him home, as cheers and applause echoed through the Horseshoe Ballroom for their new hero Machado.

"Where's my bounty?" he asked, before letting everyone else know that he was "now the loudest in the room."

Laura Fryer

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Juliet Hegedus opened to 3,500 from under the gun and action folded around to Hartt Stearns on the button who three-bet to 10,000. Hegedus called and the players went to the flop.

Both checked the 9♦10♣A♦ flop to see the 5♣ turn.

Hegedus bet 20,000 and Stearns called.

The J♠ river saw Hegedus bet 60,000. Stearns considered, before mucking his hand, allowing Hegedus to take the pot, regaining a top stack.

Double for Bullimore

Stewart Morrison

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

From under the gun, James Bullimore manoeuvred his remaining 35,000 stack into the middle versus small blind Sirish Shetty preflop.

James Bullimore: A♠K♦ All in
Sirish Shetty: A♣J♥

Bullimore had a simple request for the dealer before he dealt any cards: "Please double me up.”

The dealer couldn't control this, obviously, but if he could, a K♠5♣K♥ flop would be a good way to start.

The turn 4♠ saw Shetty drawing dead, and by the time the dealer had put out the 4♥ river, Shetty had already prepared the chips to be pushed across the table.

Avdee Goes Too Thin on the River

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a board of K♥2♣8♠, both Michael Avdee and Kajetan Renke put in 12,000 each to see the 5♥ turn, where both checked.

The river brought a J♠ and after just a few seconds, Avdee fired 12,000 from early position. Renke was in the cutoff and called within a second.

The call was so fast the Avdee was unaware it had even been made, but once the dealer confirmed it, Avdee flipped A♠J♣ for a rivered pair of jacks. Renke had that beat with his K♣7♥ for a pair kings, and he scooped the pot
