Double Elimination for Kaimakamis

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

It didn't took long for the first elimination of the day and it was a double one. It was a four-way pot, where Andreas Koelsch limped acting first, Vangelis Kaimakamis raised to 400 from the very next seat and he got calls from Dierk Franssen in the small blind, Ken Beckers in the big blind and the initial limper.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, Franssen led to 1,500 chips, Beckers called, Koelsch folded, Kaimakamis raised to 6,000, Franssen called and Beckers shoved for 12,000. Kaimakamis went all in over the top covering all players and Franssen called the shove for the first three-way all in of the day.

Vangelis Kaimakamis: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}
Dierk Franssen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}
Ken Beckers: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}

Kaimakamis needed to fade hearts to bust two players and he managed to deliver after the {q-Diamonds} on the turn and the {k-Spades} on the river.

"Show Us the Full House"

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

Joseph Floyd raised from the hijack and he got calls from David Mackenzie in the cutoff and Ali Deniz Akok in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades}, Akok checked and Floyd bet 600 chips, getting called only by Akok.

The {9-Clubs} hit the turn and Akok check-called again, this time for 1,000.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Floyd bet 3,000 this time, but Akok threw his cards to the muck after one minute of tanking.

The players in the table asked Floyd to show them his full house, but he replied that he didn't have one and mucked his cards, too.
