Becker Makes the Bigger Flush

Level 14 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Dieter Becker open-shipped all in for 37,000 in early position and [Removed:321] Omari re-shoved all in for 126,000 in the cutoff. Elad Teva was in the small blind and went into the tank for nearly two minutes before finally letting his hand go.

Dieter Becker: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
[Removed:321] Omari: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Becker was in a dominating position and the flop of {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} gave him the better flush draw as well. The {2-Spades} on the turn changed nothing and the {6-Clubs} on the river gave Becker the better flush to double up.

Campbell Eyeing a Day 2 Stack

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Robert Campbell has been putting in his best effort to put some chips in a bag for Day 2 since the Colossus got underway nearly a week ago. He hasn't been able to do so yet but today might be his best and last chance for it.

The action folded to Mario Heissmann in the small blind who just limped in and then called when Campbell made it 12,000 in the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Heissmann check-called a bet of 8,000 from Campbell.

The turn was the {q-Clubs} and both players checked to the {7-Diamonds} on the river. Heissmann led out this time for 15,000 and Campbell instantly called. Heissmann showed {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} but Campbell had {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} to earn the pot.

Turan Finds Flush to Double Up

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sinan Turan was all in from the button and at risk, holding {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts} against Oliver Frey's {a-Spades}{10-Spades} from the cutoff.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} giving top pair to Frey but Turan found more outs, with a flush draw. The {q-Hearts} on the turn was the end of the day since Turan made a flush and Frey was drawing dead. The {7-Spades} river couldn't change anything and Frey gave a part of his stack to Turan.
