Break Time

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

The players are heading to the final 20 minute break of the evening. Shortly before the break Koray Aldemir and Roberto Romanello were eliminated.

"Top Two. It's a Good Hand."

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos had a bet of 80,000 in front of him out of the big blind when we got to his table. The flop read {q-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Koray Aldemir had put in 200,000 on the button. Mateos shoved all in and Aldemir called for about 400,000 more.

Mateos: {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Aldemir: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs} {a-Clubs} and the two pair held.

Anthony Zinno, who must have missed the action, asked Mateos what he had.

"Top two," the Spaniard responded. "It's a good hand."

Mateos Doubles Through Loosli in Massive Pot

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Adrian Mateos Diaz
Adrian Mateos Diaz

Adrian Mateos and Sylvain Loosli were on the button and in the big blind, respectively, with a board of {k-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Loosli checked and Mateos moved all in for what would turn out to be 683,000, more than double the 300,000 or so in the pot. Loosli snap-called but his {k-Hearts}{6-Spades} two pair was no good as he had gotten unlucky on the river since Mateos held {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Kenney In Then Out

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Bryn Kenney
Bryn Kenney

Bryn Kenney joined the field during the last level and was just eliminated by Sylvain Loosli.

The action started when Loosli raised from middle position and Andrew Leathem called in position. Kenney raised to 105,000 from the small blind and Loosli went all in for 478,000. Leathem asked Kenney for a rough count before deciding to fold and Kenney called.

Kenney had {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} against the {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} of Loosli. The board brought no help for Kenney and he headed to the rail.

Riess Takes it on the River

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Dario Sammartino opened to 23,000 and Ryan Riess called from the button.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Sammartino bet 25,000. Riess called. The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and Sammartino checked. Riess bet 85,000 and Sammartino called.

The river was the {q-Hearts} and Sammartino checked again. This time, Riess bet 175,000 and Sammartino went into the tank. He took the maximum allowed time to fold after the clock was called.

Kabrhel Shows the Nut-Low

Level 9 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel bet 31,000 from the big blind on a board of {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. Igor Kurganov had raised to 100,000 and Kabrhel was in the tank when we arrived. He moved his chips around and thought for a couple of minutes before Kurganov called a clock. The supervisor asked if it had been a reasonable time.

"Yes," Dominik Nitsche immediately piped in without looking up from his phone.

A few seconds later, Kabrhel called. They both checked the {8-Spades} and Kabrhel opened {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a missed draw. Kurganov showed {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}.
