Awad Finds Hero Fold Preflop, Hulst Busts Kaspari

Patrick Cole

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Kaspari called for 40,000 from early position. Erik van Hulst then reraised to 90,000 from early position. Mousa Awad then made it 180,000 from the cutoff.

Action folded back around to Kaspari who moved all in for 345,000. Van Hulst then moved all in and had Kaspari covered. Awad then went into the tank and had both players covered. He found the fold in the end and the players showed down.

Daniel Kaspari: J♣J♥ All in
Erik van Hulst: A♠A♥

"I folded kings" claimed Awad.

"Did you really have kings?" asked Van Hulst.

"Yes" replied Awad, which earned him a fist bump from Van Hulst.

Awad would have scooped a huge one if he made the call as the K♣2♦10♦ would have provided him with top set. However it was Van Hulst's aces that held across the 3♠ turn and 8♦ river.

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

There were already around 250,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 4♣8♥3♠ when Daniele Grasso bet 80,000, and Jan Krahulik shvoed for 420,000. Grasso had his opponent slightly covered and after a few minutes of thinking, he stuck in the call.

Jan Krahulik: K♠8♠ All in
Daniele Grasso: 9♣8♣

Both had flopped top pair but the kicker of Krahulik was far superior to Grasso's, and put him in a strong position to double up.

The 4♦ turn did bring around some chop outs, but the 5♠ river changed nothing and Krahulik took the pot.

Frank Visser

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Wolfgang Bittl was all-in for 230,000 from the big blind. Tymofii Savkin had put his remaining 300,000 on the button, and Nathaniel Levi was also in the pot, covering both.

Wolfgang Bittl: A♥A♦ All in
Tymofii Savkin: J♠J♣ All in
Nathaniel Levi: K♠K♦

No one hit a set on 4♦2♣9♥8♣2♠, meaning Bittl tripled up. Meanwhile, Savkin's last chips were given to Levi as he took his exit.

However, Bittl did not end up as the biggest stack on the table, as that title belonged to Pascal Pflock, who had a stack of two and a half times the average.

Pascal Pflock	1,600,000 950,000	950,000

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action was picked up with the cards on their backs. Krisztian Uglar was all in and at risk for 150,000 versus Alain Hostettler who had him covered.

Krisztian Uglar: A♣2♠ All in
Alain Hostettler: 6♣6♦

Uglar made top pair on the A♦9♣7♠7♥K♥ runout to secure the double up.

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ron Jeda made it 50,000 from under the gun and Michal Schuh called from the cutoff. Valerii Kalynych was forced all in from the big blind with his short stack, and was contesting for the side pot of 40,000.

Both checked the 2♥J♥J♣ flop to the 5♥ turn where Jeda bet 30,000, and Schuh raised to 110,000. Jeda quickly folded.

Valerii Kalynych: 10♠4♥ All in
Michal Schuh: A♦J♦

Surprisingly, Kalynych did have outs with a flush draw, but instead the 5♣ dropped on the river, which gave Schuh a full house.

Patrick Cole

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

David Maymon moved all in for 380,000 from early position. Action folded around to Pietro Lettieri who went deep into the tank, so deep that Gabriele Guerrini appeared to flick in the call out of turn. The dealer made him aware the action was still on Lettieri who quickly folded.

Guerrini then made the call in turn but was at risk.

Gabriele Guerrini: 7♠7♥ All in
David Maymon: K♠K♣

Despite a promising flop of 4♠5♠6♦ Guerrini couldn't complete his open-ended draw across the Q♥ turn and 6♠ river.

David Maymon	795,000 589,000	589,000

Emil Bise checked in the small blind to Ankit Ahuja in early positon. Ahuja then bet 50,000 into a pot of 170,000 and Bise called. The 3♦ turn was checked through before Bise made a bet of 125,000 on the 8♣ river.

Ahuja made a quick fold, granting the pot to his opponent.

Patrick Cole

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Emil Bise opened to 50,000 from early position. Tay Quang then raised to around 220,000, leaving a single 25,000 chip behind. Bise reraised to put him all in.

"Please no one call the clock on me, there is an all in over there and i'm waiting for the pay jump" said Quang.

A minute or so elapsed before the clock was eventually called on Quang.

The floor came over and after 10 seconds of his allotted 30 seconds Quang put in his last 25,000.

Tay Quang: A♣Q♦ All in
Emil Bise: K♦Q♣

Quang's ace high held across the 4♦6♣4♣5♦5♥ runout to secure a double up and the pay jump he was looking for.
