Tsabar Holds with Kings

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

After a couple of preflop raises, Francis Hatchikian and Eyal Tsabar got all of their chips in the middle. Tsabar was the player at risk for 15,100 but turned over the best hand.

Eyal Tsabar: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Francis Hatchikian: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} left Tsabar in the lead with his pair of kings. The turn was the {q-Diamonds} but neither player held a diamond in their hand. The {6-Clubs} completed the board and Tsabar held on for a double up.

Graf Bluffs Off his Stack

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Alexander Graf was found all in for his last 6,800 on the river of a board showing {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}.

Ferat Uysal was his opponent and he decided to call after some tanking. Graf said "good call" and opened his {q-Spades}{j-Clubs} with just queen high, while Uysal had {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} with top pair to send Graf to the rail.

Ben Shows a Set

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Simon Berri opened to 700 from early position and was called by Shahaf Nacson on his left. Rafael Ben three-bet to 3,300 from the big blind which got Berri to fold but Nacson called.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Ben led out for 7,000 which Nacson called. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and Ben moved all in for 10,100. Nacson briefly thought about it but decided to ditch his cards. Ben showed {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a set of kings and raked in the pot.

Campbell Chipping Up

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

A completed board of {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} was spread across the felt with Robert Campbell and Andreas Mages heads-up in the blinds. Campbell led out for 1,500 from the small blind into a pot of around 5,000. Mages raised to 4,5000 and Campbell thought for a minute before making the call.

Mages flipped over {5-Spades}{3-Clubs} for just a pair of threes while Campbell revealed {k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines in order to claim the pot.

Double KO for [Removed:349]

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Petr Zalsky opened the action with a raise to 900 from middle position and got calls by Ertan Ates and Alexander [Removed:349], before Avihai Benshoham shoved from the big blind for 7,200. Zalsky didn't understand that his opponent was all in and threw a chip into the middle, trying to get it back when he realized what happened. The floorman arrived and he informed that he has to call the all in, which he did for almost half his stack. [Removed:349] called too and they went heads-up to the flop.

The dealer spread the {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Zalsky check-called [Removed:349]'s shove to sent the hand to a three-way showdown.

Avihai Benshoham: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Petr Zalsky: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Alexander [Removed:349]: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The {6-Spades} on the turn and the {8-Spades} on the river didn't change anything and [Removed:349] sent two players to the rail.

Defresne's Pair is Good

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante

Charlie Defresne raised it up from under the gun and Meir Chen three-bet to 2,800 from a couple of seats over. Christian Zimnick flat-called in middle position and the action was back on Defresne who also called.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and the action checked around to the {2-Spades} on the turn. Defresne led out for 3,900 which Chen called and Zimnick folded. The {3-Hearts} completed the board and Defresne checked this time. Chen checked it back and Defresne showed {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} which was good enough to win the pot.
