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.

Break

Level 6 : 300/600, 0 ante

Players are going on their second 20-minute break of the day. The tournament clock shows that there are 53 players of 68 remaining. A reminder that late registration and re-entry is open until the start of Level 9. That means there are three more levels plus a 60-minute dinner break for players to enter or re-enter.

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.

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.

Big Pot With Multiple Chops

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

On a flop of {7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} Anatoliy Zyrin checked to Alexander Lakhov who bet 3,000. A third player called before Artur Sojka raised pot to 21,000. Zyrin and Lakhov both moved all in and the last player in the hand folded. Sojka moved all in also.

Artur Sojka: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Alexander Lakhov: {6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Anatoliy Zyrin: {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Clubs}

Sojka had flopped a full house, Lakhov had trips and Zyrin had an open-ended straight flush draw. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and the river the {10-Spades} which meant Sojka took the main high pot with his full house. While Lakhov and Zyrin chopped the low.

Tejapaibul and Schuler Combine to Bust Soer

Level 7 : 400/800, 0 ante

Joe Tejapaibul raised to 2,200 and Eldert Soer three-bet to 7,800. Thorsten Schuler moved all in for 12,600. Tejapaibul called and there was some question over whether Soer could raise but he could not.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Tejapaibul moved some chips in, Soer raised all in and Tejapaibul called.

Joe Tejapaibul: {a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Thorsten Schuler: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Eldert Soer: {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The turn was the {2-Clubs} and the river the {4-Clubs}. Tejapaibul made a full house and won the side pot between him and Soer. The pair chopped the main pot courtesy of Schuler's ace-three low.
