Burns Busts Vogelsang First

Level 1 : 5,000/10,000, 5,000 ante
Christoph Vogelsang
Christoph Vogelsang

Kahle Burns' stack looked like he had won a substantial pot of Jean-Noel Thorel already to propel him to a stack of above 3 million and now raised to 30,000 from under the gun. Thorel called in the cutoff. Christoph Vogelsang three-bet to 170,000 in the small blind. Orpen Kisacikoglu folded his big blind and Burns four-bet to 400,000. Thorel folded and Vogelsang made the call.

The flop came {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}, Vogelsang check-called the 215,000 continuation-bet of Burns.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, Vogelsang checked again. Burns now bet 375,000 and Vogelsang called after using a time-bank.

The river completed the board with the {9-Hearts}, Vogelsang checked for the last tie and this time Burns bet 2,090,000, keeping some chips behind, which was more than what Vogelsang had in front of him. Vogelsang dived into the tank, the dealer reached over to grab a time-bank when the first 30 seconds were over but Vogelsang asked if he could do it after the hand. Kisacikoglu was kind enough to help out by taking Vogelsang's time-bank and throwing four of them out every time the 30 seconds were up. After the fourth, Vogelsang called for the approximately 1,200,000 he had left.

Burns tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the nut-flush. Vogelsang quietly turned around {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} for the flopped pair of aces and made his way out of the tournament area.

Burns Takes Out Nitsche

Level 1 : 5,000/10,000, 5,000 ante

The board was reading {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and there was a pot of around 700,000 in the middle when Kahle Burns checked from the big blind. Dominik Nitsche fired 455,000 from the cutoff and Burns check-raised all in for about 5,900,000.

Nitsche, with 1,150,000, gave it some thought, then called. Burns tabled {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for tens full of jacks and Nitsche showed {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a flush before heading back to the registration desk to re-enter.
