Chung Begins His Spin Up

Tim Baker

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

David Chung jammed for 8,500 from middle position and was called by Kang Lee in the big blind.

David Chung: A♦Q♥ All in
Kang Lee: A♠8♥

Chung was in great shape to start his spin-up with the better ace. The 9♥9♠10♦3♥5♠ runout improved neither player, which meant Chung doubled up with ace-queen high.

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

Eddy Sabat had 5,000 placed out in front of him on a flop of Q♣3♦5♣. Jung Woo jammed from the next seat for 40,500, and after a bit of thinking, Sabat made the call.

Jung Woo: A♦Q♠ All in
Eddy Sabat: K♣J♣

Woo had a pair of queens against the flush draw of Sabat. The 8♦ came on the turn and the 10♠ rolled off on the river. Woo doubled up with top pair at the expense of Sabat.

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

Table chip leader William Camp raised to 3,000 with Q♣10♠ and Thomas Winschel defended the big blind with the Q♠8♠. They checked the K♦J♠10♦ flop to the 9♥ turn on which Winschel bet 10,000 and Camp called.

Winschel also bet the 7♠ river for 22,000 with 54,500 behind and Camp then pushed all-in. The reluctant call by Winschel with the second nuts followed and they chopped the pot.

Shortly after,

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

Patrick Steele raised to 3,000 from middle position only to be three-bet by Man Tse to 9,000 in late position and then four-bet to 28,000 by Christopher Meyers in the big blind.

Steele folded, and Tse thought for a short while before he announced that he was all-in. He had Meyers covered. Meyers snap called.

Christopher Meyers: K♠K♦ All in
Man Tse: Q♣Q♥

It was not the flop Meyers wanted to see when the 6♥2♠Q♠ peeled off. The 4♦ on the turn did nothing to change matters, and when the 5♠ bricked out on the river, Meyers was sent to the rail in a nasty fashion

Brett Slezak

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

Julien Martini from under the gun and Ivaylo Panev from the cutoff were heads-up to a completed board of K♦9♥5♥7♥J♣ with just under 50,000 in the middle.

Martini led with big enough bet to put Panev all in for his final 34,000. After almost two minutes, Panev put a stack into the middle to call off his stack.

Ivaylo Panev: K♠J♠ All in
Julien Martini: A♠A♥

Martini had the overpair but Panev rivered two pair and made the correct call on the end as he secured the full double.
