Hartree Lays on the Heat

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

There were two players who limped, and a player in late position raised to 4,500. Kyle Hartree three-bet to 11,000 from the button, both limpers folded, and the player in late position called.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, and the action was checked to Hartree, who bet 13,000. His opponent called, and the {3-Spades} fell on the turn. Again, his opponent checked, and Hartree bet 26,000. His opponent called, and the {a-Diamonds} completed the board.

Both players checked and Hartree announced, "Kings."

"Kings?!" his opponent responded, and Hartree tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}. His opponent flashed pocket queens as he threw them into the muck.

Akery Shoves Into Okin

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Kevin Andriamahefa raised to 2,800 and Peter Akery three-bet to 9,200 in the small blind, which Brian Okin called and Andriamahefa folded. The flop fell {J-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Akery continued for 12,000, Okin called and the duo headed to the {9-Spades} turn. Akery's second bet was worth 26,500 and Okin raised it up to 60,000.

Akery moved all in and Okin asked for the amount. The shove of the Brit was for another 80,200 on top of Okin's raise, and that ultimately proved to be too much for Okin as he sent the cards into the muck just before the end of the level.

Hallaert Eliminates One from the Big Blind

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

The action was folded to the cutoff, who shoved all-in for his remaining 9,600, and Kenny Hallaert called from the big blind. Hallaert had his opponent dominated with {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} against {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}, and Hallaert scored the knockout.

Here are some more counts from around the room.

Nelson Looks Through Andrews

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

In the hijack, Cherish Andrews raised to 2,500, and Dustin Nelson three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind, which Andrews called.

On the {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Nelson continued for 6,000, and Andrews called. After the {Q-Diamonds} turn, Nelson slowed down and checked, and Andrews took the opportunity to bet 12,000. Nelson called and checked again the {2-Diamonds} on the river. Andrews bet 22,000, and Nelson reluctantly called.

Andrews tapped the table and showed {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}, and Nelson won the pot with {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}.

Wes Holland Flops It, Justin Gardenhire Takes a Hit

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

With the board reading {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{10-Hearts} {5-Spades} and more than 13,000 in the middle, Justin Gardenhire checked in the small blind, and Wes Holland bet 6,100 from the cutoff. Gardenhire thought for a long while and called. On the {6-Diamonds} river, Gardenhire checked, and Holland tossed out a bet of 15,000. Gardenhire thought briefly and called.

Holland tabled {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} for Broadway, which he flopped, and Gardenhire mucked his hand just before their table broke in Amazon Purple.

Morten Mortensen's Bluff Gets Caught

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Morten Mortensen
Morten Mortensen

There was a bet and a call on a {K-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop in a pot between Morten Mortensen and one other opponent. The turn was the {3-Hearts}, and that led to a check from both players. On the {10-Spades} river, Mortensen bet 8,200, which represented a significant portion of his opponent's stack. The player didn't take too long to call.

Mortensen showed {A-Spades}{9-Spades} for ace-high. His opponent, though, showed {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a slightly better ace-high. Mortensen's face showed a look of surprise upon seeing his opponent's hand.

"Nice call," Mortensen said as his opponent scooped the pot.

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.

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.

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.
