Klatt Pushed Close to the Exit by Kashmir

Level 5 : 250/500, 0 ante

Andreas Klatt raised and Usman Kashmir three-bet to 4,500. It folded back around to Klatt who moved all in and Kashmir snap-called.

Andreas Klatt: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Usman Kashmir: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} with Klatt covering his opponent by the tiniest amount, meaning it was the German who was left with crumbs behind. He was eliminated soon thereafter.

Tejapaibul vs Kretschmar

Level 4 : 200/400, 0 ante

Joe Tejapaibul was facing a decision on the dangerous-looking {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} board as Andre Kretschmar had bet 30,000 into a pot of 34,600. Tejapaibul thought for a while as tablemates Rex Clinkscales and Christopher Back looked on.

Tejapaibul moved all in and Kretschmar snap-called.

Joe Tejapaibul: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{10-Spades}
Andre Kretschmar: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

The river was the {j-Diamonds} giving both players a straight.

Back and Clinkscales burst out laughing. "And they both make a straight," said Clinkscales.

"No one has Ten-Jack; no one has a set," said Back.

"We're the worst!" said Clinkscales.

Elezra Wins Three Quarters

Level 4 : 200/400, 0 ante

The board was {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Clubs} and the dealer was counting out Eli Elezra's stack.

Elezra held {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for the nut low and an eight-high straight. His opponent showed {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} also for the nut low, but just two-pair for the high.

The pot was counted out with Elezra winning three quarters after the pair chopped the low portion of the pot.
