Suenbuel Has Kicker Problems

Tim Baker

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

Aliaksandr Shylko made it 6,000 to go from middle position and Hasan Suenbuel three-bet to 12,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Shylko called.

Once Shylko checked the 10♣A♠5♠ flop, Suenbuel bet 19,500. Shylko paused momentarily before making the call.

A 9♠ on the turn caused Shylko to check again. Suenbuel jammed, and Shylko called for his remaining 40,000, putting himself at risk.

Aliaksandr Shylko: A♥Q♥ All in
Hasan Suenbuel: A♣J♠

Both players had top pair, but it was Shylko's queen-kicker that had him in front. A 6♦ completed the board and Shylko doubled up through Suenbuel.

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

Nicolae Paunescu was all-in for 29,500 and at risk versus Darius Samual.

Nicolae Paunescu: A♣8♣ All in
Darius Samual: J♥J♦

Paunescu needed help, and the ace was in the window on the A♠6♦5♦ flop, drawing a wry shake of the head from Samual, who could not find a two-outer on the Q♠ turn or 2♠ river.

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

A pot of 54,500 had developed by the river, on a board of Q♠10♦4♥Q♥A♦, in a hand between Boris Kuzmanovic in early position and Adrian Cazacu in the big blind.

Cazacu fired out a bet of 25,000, but was pained when Kuzmanovic raised to 125,000, covering Cazacu's remaining 50,000 stack.

Cazacu went into the tank, and after around 90 seconds, folded with frustration.

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

Szabolcs Kukucska made it 6,500 from middle position and Marek Blasko three-bet to 15,000 from the hijack. Kukucska called to see a flop.

The players checked the A♣2♥3♥ flop to see the 8♥ roll off on the turn. Kukucska checked and then called Blasko's bet of 3,000.

Kukucska checked for the last time on the 6♦ river, and Blasko bet his last 1,000. Kukucska called and was shown A♥Q♠ by Blasko for a pair of aces. Kukucska was forced to show that he had called down with Q♦J♦ for quen-high.

Thumann's Jack is Enough

Kai Cocklin

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

Lulei Hu had opened from under the gun and Hans Thumann called from the small blind.

On the 4♣J♥6♥ flop, Thumann checked and Hu continued for 6,000. Thumann then stuck in a raise to 16,000, which Hu called to the 2♥ turn. Both checked to the Q♣ river, where they knuckled it to showdown.

Thumann then revealed a pair of jacks with J♠9♠, and that was good for the pot as Hu mucked.

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

Heads-up to the turn on a board of 9♣J♣4♥3♣ that saw Adrian State check from the big blind and face a bet of 11,000 by Iago Savino out of the cutoff. State mulled it over for quite some time and then chose to call.

A fourth club fell on the river in the form of the 5♣, causing both players to check. State was first to show his J♠4♠ for two pair, and Savino mucked.

Lulei Hu: 5♥2♥ All in
Luca Maccatrozzo: Q♦10♥

Tomes Spikes River to Win Classic Race

Richard Hayes

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

After a preflop raising war between Marek Tomes in the cutoff, and Hans Bosman in the small blind, Bosman ended up all-in for his 200,000 stack, covered by Tomes.

Hans Bosman: Q♥Q♣ All in
Marek Tomes: A♥K♥

It was the classic race, and it looked like Bosman was heading for a double-up after the 9♥9♦4♠ flop and 10♦ turn, but the K♦ hit on the river in brutal fashion to send Bosman to the rail.

Tomes celebrated with gusto when the river hit.
