Mateos Shoves Into Kabrhel

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Adrian Mateos in the under-the-gun position and Martin Kabrhel in the small blind both invested 21,000 preflop and headed to a flop of {K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}. Kabrhel checked and called a bet of 14,000 by Mateos before checking again the {7-Clubs} turn. Mateos moved all in for 90,200 and Kabrhel asked for a count.

Kabrhel checked his own stack and he was in fact covered by the jam of the Spaniard, releasing his cards into the muck soon after. "Nice bluff right there," Kabrhel added and Mateos replied "thank you."

Shak and Kenney Enter

Level 3 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Within quick succession, Bryn Kenney and Dan Shak entered the High Roller to bump the field to 15 entries. Kenney was involved into a bigger pot right away in a battle hijack versus cutoff and checked to Martin Jacobson on the {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} turn. Jacobson bet 15,000 for around two third of the pot and that forced a fold from Kenney.

Grospellier Busts to Shak

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Bertrand Grospellier started the hand with a stack of around 45,000 and raised to 2,500 from the cutoff. Dan Shak in then small blind three-bet to 8,000 and Grospellier called. On the {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}, Shak continued for 10,000 and Grospellier called before the {10-Clubs} fell on the turn.

Shak slowed down and checked, and Grospellier moved all in for his last 27,200. Shak gave it some thought and called with {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for the open-ended straight draw while Grospellier rolled over {9-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a set. The {Q-Clubs} on the river completed a straight for Shak and Grospellier became the third casualty of the day.

More for Mateos

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Sontheimer Takes it on the Turn

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Timothy Adams raised to 2,500 and Martin Jacobson called on the button. Steffen Sontheimer in the small blind three-bet to 12,500 and Adams called, jacobson looked over to Sontheimer who said "I started with 68." Jacobson folded and the remaining two players headed to the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop. Sontheimer continued for 8,500 and Adams called before a second barrel worth 18,500 on the {5-Diamonds} turn won the pot uncontested for the German.

The Continuation Bet Works

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
