Desset Makes a Frustrated Fold Against Kozub

David Salituro

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Andrej Desset raised to 16,000 on the button and Tomasz Kozub and Krzysztof Palasz came along from the blinds.

The flop came A♣J♠5♦ and Kozub led out for 27,000. Both Palasz and Desset called to see the 10♦ turn, where Kozub bet another 150,000.

Palasz quickly folded, but Desset let out a loud sigh and spent a few minutes in the tank before slamming his cards into the muck.

"Ace-five-four-deuce," he asked Kozub.

"That would make the most sense," Kozub replied.

"I had a double gutshot and two pair, but without the ace," Desset added.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nebojsa Musulin raised to 20,000 in middle position and Gediminas Grigas called in the cutoff. Fragkiskos Vidalis then three-bet to 88,000 in the small blind and both opponents called.

The flop came K♣J♠5♠ and Vidalis moved all in for 132,000. Musulin quickly folded, but Grigas called.

Fragkiskos Vidalis: A♣K♠5♣2♠ All in
Gediminas Grigas: K♦J♥9♦2♥

"Finally, I can go to dinner. It's a flip," Grigas said once the cards were revealed. He was ahead with kings and jacks against Vidalis' kings and fives, but the 3♠ turn gave Vidalis the nut flush. The river was the 10♥ and Vidalis doubled up, leaving Grigas on an extreme short stack.

Heads-up on a flop of 9♣8♣7♠, Patrick Bueno bet enough from middle position to put Godefridus van Veghel all in, and Van Veghel called for his last 120,000.

Patrick Bueno: K♥J♦10♣10♦

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Robert Wirth raised to 35,000 under the gun, Thi Pham moved all in from the big blind, and Wirth called for 156,000.

Robert Wirth: A♥A♠Q♠Q♦
Thi Pham: Q♣Q♥J♣6♥

Wirth had Pham crushed with his aces as Pham had no queens left in the deck to hit. The board ran out J♠5♥2♠4♦8♠ and Wirth improved to a flush to earn the double up.

"Wow, I wish I got hands like that," tablemate Gediminas Grigas said.

"You have to wait at least three hours," Wirth replied.
