Van Zadelhoff Climbing

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

On the turn of a board {Q-Spades}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades} with roughly 40,000 in the pot already, Steven van Zadelhoff bet out 30,000 from the small blind. Van Zadelhoff's opponent in the cutoff called, and the river landed the {K-Clubs}. Van Zadelhoff grabbed a stack of chips and slid them into the pot to amount to a bet of 51,000. His opponent quickly folded, and van Zadelhoff collected the pot to move to 316,000 in chips.

Seiver and Greenstein Mix It Up

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Scott Seiver
Scott Seiver

Barry Greenstein raised to 3,000 from early position, and Scott Seiver three-bet to 7,700 from the cutoff. Greenstein called, and the flop came {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Greenstein checked, and Seiver bet 9,000, which was good enough for Greenstein to fold.

With these two pros sitting at the same table, they may well play a few pots with each other throughout the rest of the day.

Matusow Doubles One Up

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

On a board showing {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, Mike Matusow faced an all-in bet from Bradley Hinson for 21,200 with roughly 20,000 already in the pot. Matusow was thinking about his decision, as a call represented about one-fifth of his remaining stack. Eventually, he put in the chips to call, and the hands were tabled.

Matusow: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Hinson: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Matusow was behind but had outs to a straight, trips, or two pair. The river {7-Clubs} was not what Matusow needed, though, and that gave Hinson the double-up with his pocket aces.

Neuville Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Maxi Lehmanski started the action with a raise to 2,500 and the hijack, Chris DeMaci in the cutoff, Pierre Neuville in the small blind and the big blind all came along for a five-way flop.

It came {J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}. The action checked around, and Neuville then bet the {Q-Clubs} turn for 8,000, which only Lehmanski called. After the {A-Hearts} river, Neuville made it 28,000 to go, and Lehmanski sent his cards into the muck.

Daniel Engels Finds a Double With Aces

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The player in the hijack was all in, as was Daniel Engels in the cutoff. Engels was at risk for his last 19,200 and held {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, up against {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}.

The flop came {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, and Engels was looking good to double up. The turn was the {7-Clubs}, and that left the hijack drawing dead to the {9-Hearts} on the river.

Engels raked in the pot for a stack worth 44,000.

Igor Tsyganov Doubles and Then Some

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After a raise and a re-raise to 2,800, Igor Tsyganov moved all in for 29,300. The next player called the all in, and the remaining players folded.

Tsyganov had queens against jacks, and after the board ran out, he won the hand and doubled up.

Waltermann Sends One Home

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Gregor Waltermann
Gregor Waltermann

With a massive pot of about 75,000 already brewing and the board reading {J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}, one player got what looked to be his last 50,000 chips into the middle against Gregor Waltermann, who had him covered.

Waltermann: {3-Spades}{3-Hearts}
Opponent: {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Waltermann had the lead with his flopped set of threes, but his opponent could catch up on the river if his open-ended straight or flush draw completed. The {9-Diamonds} changed nothing, and Waltermann took the pot to send his opponent to the rail, putting his stack above the 400,000-chip mark.
