The Bubble Burst

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
The Colossus Day 1F Bubble
The Colossus Day 1F Bubble

Round #1: There was one all-in but with no callers, the remaining four tables could go on to the next hand quite quickly.

Round #2:There was one all-in and a call on a {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} board. One player had {q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and the all-in player had {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. The {3-Diamonds} on the river didn't change the situation as the all-in player doubled up.

Round #3: Thomas Layher raised to 4,700 from early position and was called by the player in the big blind. The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Hearts}, the big blind check-called the 4,600 bet of Layher. The turn brought them the {J-Spades}, now the big blind check-called the 11,300 bet of Layher. The {Q-Diamonds} on the river completed the board on which they both checked. The player in the big blind tabled {Q-}{10-} for a pair of queens but Layher had {A-}{Q-} for the same pair but with the higher kicker.

Round #4: No action.

Round #5: Only one hand made it to showdown where the players in the mid-position and cutoff were involved. Both players checked through the whole {5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{J-Clubs} board. The player in mid-position had {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} but he was beat by the player in the cutoff who held {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a pair of nines.

Round #6: Georgios Karakousis was at risk as he was all in from the big blind and covered by Maarten Mol in the small blind.

Georgios Karakousis: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Maarten Mol: {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{K-Hearts} - Karakousis hit his king on the river to double up.

Round #7: No action

Round #8: No action

Round #9: Layher raised to 5,600 from mid-position. Ognjen Sekularac called from the button, so did the player in the small blind. The flop came {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts}, the small blind check-folded to the 8,100 bet of Layher. Sekularac called. The turn brought them the {4-Diamonds}, Layher checked, Sekularac bet 18,300 which prompted Layher to shove and Sekularac folded.

Round #10: Marko Ilicic raised to 9,500 from late position. Jorg Drummer shoved for 40,900 in total from the button. Action folded back to Ilicic who called.

Marko Ilicic: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Jorg Drummer: {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

The board ran out {2-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{K-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} - no help for Drummer as he has to bow out without any prize money.

Zipf Takes The Pot

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The board read {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Robert Zipf, in the small blind, and the players in the big blind and on the button all checked.

The turn came with the {10-Clubs}, Zipf checked, the big blind bet 5,500 and the player on the button folded. Zipf called.

The {2-Hearts} on the river completed the board on which both players checked. Zipf tabled {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines with the ace-kicker. His opponent mucked.

Michaud Folds To Shulga

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Max Shulga raised to 2,600 from the cutoff and was called by the player on the button. Victor Michaud raised to 8,000 from the small blind. Shulga called and the player on the button folded.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Michaud bet 10,000 and Shulga took some time to think. He raised to 20,000 which caused Michaud to go into the tank. After quite a while, Shulga decided to call the clock on him. The floor came over to explain the rule and that Michaud had 30 seconds to take a decision. When the floor started counting down from 5 seconds Michaud folded on the count of three.
