Krause Doubles and Wakes Up the Entire Village

Tim Baker

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Andreas Krause raised to 10,000 under the gun and the action folded around to Andrea Radicchi in the small blind. Radicchi thought for a while, then jammed, covering Krause. Once the big blind folded, Krause put in the call for his stack of around 180,000.

Andreas Krause: K♥K♦ All in
Andrea Radicchi: Q♣Q♠

Krause was in the perfect spot to double up if his cowboys could hold up against Radicchi's ladies.

The 9♠A♥J♥ flop didn't change anything, while the 10♥ turn gave Krause a royal flush draw and meant Krause didn't want to see a king on the river. An A♣ completed the board, prompting Klause to erupt out of his chair and start bellowing, "Yes! Yes!" for all of Rozvadov to hear.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A big pot 120,000 had developed by the river, on a board of K♠2♦2♠6♣10♠, in a hand between Samuel Bifarella in middle position and Benjamin Huegel in the small blind.

Huegel checked, and after a fair bit of thought, Bifarella jammed for around 130,000. Huegel, who had 110,000 behind, thought it through for a reasonable period but elected to fold.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Yosefi Cohen raised to 6,000 in early position before Arvin Verma three-bet to 13,000 in the cutoff. Cohen then moved all in, and Verma snap-called for his last 60,000.

Arvin Verma: Q♣Q♦ All in
Yosefi Cohen: A♦A♣

"Come on, one queen. Queen. Queen," Verma pleaded with the dealer after Cohen turned over his aces. He kept chanting "queen, queen," as the flop came 2♠6♣9♥, followed by the J♠ turn. The river was the J♣ and Verma didn't get his wish as he was sent to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

On a board of 6♥5♠A♥10♦, there were around 60,000 in the pot when Catalin Pop bet 22,000 from under the gun. Stefan Heizmann then moved all in, which gave Pop a test for his remaining stack of around 130,000. Eventually, Pop did call.

Catalin Pop: A♠K♥ All in
Stefan Heizmann: A♣5♣

Pop wasn't impressed to see that he was beat and no salvation came on the Q♦ river, which mean the was out. On the other hand, Heizmann boosted his stack to nearly 600,000.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, a pot of 46,000 had developed by the river on J♥9♠8♠5♠9♣, in a hand between Manig Loeser and Fausto Tantillo.

Loeser checked, and Tantillo fired out an overbet of 100,000. Loeser, who had 76,000 behind, went into the tank, and ultimately sent his cards to the muck.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dinesh Alt raised to 6,000 in the cutoff before Jovica Tatar three-bet to 18,000 on the button. Nikolas Wicquart then moved all in from the small blind and Alt folded, but Tatar snap-called for 70,000.

Jovica Tatar: K♥K♠ All in
Nikolas Wicquart: A♠A♦

Tatar flung his arms in the air in frustration after finding out he had run his kings into Wicquart's aces. The K♦ fell on the flop, but it was followed by A♥6♦ as Wicquart remained ahead in a set-over-set cooler. Tatar couldn't find the one-outer on the 7♠ turn or 5♥ river and was sent to the rail.

"That was sick," Alt said, revealing he folded two nines.

Artem Kobylynskyi made it 6,000 from the cutoff before Grzegorz Flak three-bet the button to 18,000. Stanislav Koleno cold four-bet the big blind to 45,000, which forced Kobylynskyi to fold. Flak five-bet ripped it for 133,000 and Koleno put in the call.

Grzegorz Flak: J♥J♦ All in
Stanislav Koleno: 10♣10♦

Flak looked poised to double up if his pocket jacks could hold up. A clean runout of A♥3♠4♦7♠2♠ came out for Flak and he doubled through Koleno.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Viorel Gavrila opened to 6,000 under the gun, and called a three-bet to 21,000 from Vikrant Mangal in the cutoff.

On the Q♥10♠8♦ flop, Gavrila check-called versus a bet of 25,000 from Mangal.

The 2♦ hit on the turn, and the same pattern followed, this time in respect of a bet of 56,000 from Mangal.

The 3♣ river completed the board, and was checked through. Gavrila tabled A♠K♥ for ace-king high, and Mangal had the goods with A♦A♣.

Dimitrios Gkatzas raised to 6,000 in early position before Ioannis Chorianopoulos three-bet to 21,000 in the cutoff. Elias Vaaraniemi then moved all in for 178,500 in the big blind and Gkatzas folded, but Chorianopoulos called to put Vaaraniemi at risk.

Elias Vaaraniemi: A♣K♠ All in
Ioannis Chorianopoulos: Q♥Q♠

It was a classic flip with more than 350,000 at stake, and Vaaraniemi quickly pulled in front on the K♦J♠2♦ flop with top pair. The turn was the J♣, while the A♥ river improved Vaaraniemi to two pair and earned him the double up.
