Israelashvili Wins Early Pot

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

"You gonna rebuy Roland?" Rex Clinkscales asked new man at the table Roland Israelashvili.

"No," came the reply from the man already in Day 2 of the COLOSSUS, "But I'm gonna double and then triple!"

"Thanks for your contribution," said Clinkscales.

The pair went three-ways to a flop of {2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and each player checked. The turn was the {7-Diamonds}. It checked to Clinkscales who bet 2,500 and Israelashvili called.

The river was the {q-Diamonds}. Israelashvili checked and Clinkscales checked his cards before reluctantly checking behind.

"Do you have the {a-Diamonds}?" asked Israelashvili, showing {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a flush.

"God I wish I had the {a-Diamonds}," said Clinkscales, "Because then I pot, and you go like this." He mimed flinging some cards into the muck.

Kallmann Gets Quartered

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Kim Kallman was on the button with 2,600 and Georgios Koliofotis had called in the big blind. The action was back on Franz Haid under the gun who raised pot to 11,600. Kallmann re-raised all in and Koliofotis folded. Haid called.

Franz Haid: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Kim Kallmann: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades}. A tablemate called for a six, and it came the {6-Spades} giving both players the same low, but more importantly handing Kallmann an open-ended straight draw and the nut flush draw. The river was the {j-Clubs} and Haid took three-quarters of the pot with his pair of queens holding up.

Ferguson Chipping Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

Chris Ferguson raised to 2,100 from under the gun and Mikko Hirvonen called in the next position.

The pair went heads-up to a flop of {10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} and Ferguson continued for 3,000. Hirvonen called.

The turn {j-Clubs} and river {8-Diamonds} were checked by both players. Ferguson turned over the rather Omaha Hi-Lo-friendly {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for top two-pair and Hirvonen re-checked his hole cards before mucking.

Clinkscales Gets Called by Schuler

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

Rex Clinkscales

On a river of {q-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{j-Hearts} Rex Clinkscales bet 7,000. He got one fold before Thorsten Schuler gave it some thought.

"You either have Ace-Ten or Queen-Jack," said Clinkscales.

"I have neither," replied Schuler, who thought for a while longer before calling.

"You win," said Clinkscales, as Schuler turned over {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} for a full house, queens full of sevens.
