Dvoress Takes All of Ketzer's Profit

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Felipe Ketzer three-bet to 180,000 in the small blind, earning a call from Dvoress.

Ketzer continued for just 40,000 on the 6♣4♣2♣ flop, prompting a call from Dvoress. The 9♦ turn was checked by Ketzer and Dvoress made it 360,000 to go. Ketzer used one time bank, then called.

After the Q♠ river, Ketzer checked with essentially the starting stack behind. Dvoress moved all-in and Ketzer tank-folded after using another time bank.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The chips go in preflop in one of the largest pots of the tournament so far and it is Adrian Mateos all-in and at risk against Leonard Maue.

Adrian Mateos: Q♦Q♠
Leonard Maue: J♣J♠

Neither pocket pair gained any further equity on the K♦7♥4♠8♠6♣ board and Mateos doubled for 1,331,000, putting a large dent into Maue's stack.

Next to Maue is now Wing Po Liu, who recently won his first WSOP gold bracelet in Pot-Limit Omaha.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Timothy Adams had raised preflop from the cutoff and called a subsequent three-bet from Adrian Mateos in the small blind, creating a 330,000 pot in the process.

On the 9♠10♣3♣ flop, Mateos continued for 100,000 chips and Adams called. The two then saw the 4♣ turn being dealt, and Mateos jammed all in, covering the 415,000 stack of Adams.

Adams swiftly let his hand go, as he has had a rough tournament since the very start of the day.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna had raised preflop from the hijack and Quan Zhou defended his big blind. On the subsequent 6♥4♠6♦ flop, Zhou checked to Suvarna, who made a continuation-bet. Zhou then raised to 166,000 chips and Suvarna called.

The 9♦ river arrived and Zhou put another 252,000 chips in the pot. This time, it was enough to let Suvarna say goodbye to his hand, and Zhou crossed the two-million mark.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas was involved in the action from under the gun with Gab Yong Kim and Hyunsup Kim also in the mix out of the blinds. The 9♠6♦6♥8♥ flop was checked by the former Kim, while the latter bet 42,000 to receive two callers.

On the 4♦ river, Kim checked to Kim who bet 75,000. Angelou-Konstas then pushed all-in for 217,000 and enforced one fold. The bigger-stacked Kim eventually called and Angelou-Konstas tabled the 8♠8♣ for eights full of nines.

Hyunsup Kim had to show his 9♣7♦ as per all-in showdown rule and forfeited a small portion of his large stack.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action folded to Felipe Ketzer in the small blind and he simply open-jammed into the short stack of Tamas Adamszki in the big blind. The latter called and the cards were flipped over.

Tamas Adamszki: K♠5♣
Felipe Ketzer: 9♠8♣

Adamszki remained ahead all the way on the 5♥4♦2♥Q♦7♥ board and doubled for 203,000.

Shortly after, Ben Heath emerged in the tournament area and re-entered to get seated on table 40.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chris Brewer opened from the button and Ren Lin pushed his final 385,000 all in. Brewer made the call and all cards were tabled.

Ren Lin: A♠2♠
Chris Brewer: K♥Q♥

Brewer flopped top pair on Q♦10♠J♠, but Lin had obtained a combo draw to still be in contention. The 10♥ turn did nothing for either player and Lin requested a spade going to the river.

His wish was granted when the 7♠ emerged from the deck. Lin made his flush and doubled up to a stack of 40 big blinds.

Stephen Chidwick raised to 40,000 from the button. Chris Brewer sat in the small blind and eyed big blind Teun Mulder's stack before putting in a three-bet to 180,000. Mulder got out of the way, but Chidwick stuck around with a call.

On the J♦8♠Q♦ flop, Chidwick checked to Brewer, who made a continuation-bet of 100,000. Chidwick swiftly folded, and Brewer's stack continued to grow.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With the flop reading A♦J♥5♣, Francisco Benitez bet 40,000 into a pot of around 140,000 out of the blinds and he was called by Timothy Adams.

Benitez then check-called the 10♥ turn for 60,000 to check the 6♦ river thereafter. Adams bet 346,000 with one T-1,000 chip behind. That sent Benitez into a brief tank before the Uruguayan reluctantly folded.
