Hausner's Queens No Good

Kai Cocklin

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Sascha Hausner opened the hijack to 325,000 and Robert Dascalescu called in the big blind after just being moved from the feature table.

Both saw the A♠A♥10♠ flop land, where Dascalescu check-called a bet of 200,000 from Hausner to see the 7♦ turn. Again Dascalescu checked, and again he called a bet as Hausner fired 850,000.

A 7♠ on the river drew checks from both players, and Dascalescu showed a full house with A♦6♥. Hausner flashed Q♠Q♣ as he mucked.

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Javier Francort raised to 320,000 on the button before Heger Sare moved all in for 1,660,000 in the small blind. Francort used up two time banks and eventually called.

Heger Sare: K♣10♠ All in
Javier Francort: K♥J♣

Francort had Sare dominated, but the 8♣3♠3♥3♦Q♥ board gave both players trip threes with a king-queen kicker and they chopped the pot.

The next hand, Amiel Gamliel moved all in for 450,000 in the hijack and Francort called in the cutoff.

Amiel Gamliel: J♠10♦ All in
Javier Francort: A♣9♦

Gamliel picked up a straight draw heading to the river as the board came Q♣3♥3♦K♥, but he missed the 7♣ and was sent to the rail in 15th place.

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Tudor Zapsa opened the cutoff to 320,000 and Stepan Budac called on the button.

Both saw the 10♠A♠4♣ flop land on the felt, where Zapsa continued for 200,000 and Budac raised to 560,000. Zapsa called.

The 2♣ turn checked through to the 7♦ river, where Zapsa checked and Budac fired 460,000. That was enough to make Zapsa fold.

Stepan Budac	5,100,000 1,600,000	1,600,000

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Javier Francort raised to 320,000 in early position and was called by Stepan Budac and David Eiselt in the blinds.

The flop came 5♥5♠2♥ and Francort bet 275,000. Only Eiselt called to see the J♦ turn. Francort then bet 400,000, and Eiselt again called.

The river was the A♦ and Francort moved all in. Eiselt quickly called for 1,400,000 and turned over A♠2♠ for two pair, but Francort had A♣J♣ for aces and jacks to win the pot and send Eiselt to the rail in 16th place.

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Heger Sare has been involved a lot early on Day 3, and he was almost out of the door, but used some luck to keep himself alive.

Sare shoved the hijack for 880,000 and Tudor Zapsa reshoved from the small blind to isolate.

Heger Sare: A♥Q♠ All in
Tudor Zapsa: A♣K♠

Sare was in trouble, but the 8♣10♠Q♦ flop gave him top pair and a path toward survival. Zapsa needed a king or a jack, but couldn't find either on the 8♥9♦ runout, which meant Sare survived.

Player	Chips	Progress
Tudor Zapsa	4,200,000 500,000	500,000

Robert Dascalescu raised to 240,000 in the cutoff before Cheng Zhao picked up Q♠Q♣ on the button and moved all in for 1,510,000. Dascalescu folded A♦4♦.

Zhao again woke up with Q♠Q♥ a few hands later and raised to 500,000 in middle position. The rest of the table folded and he took the blinds and ante.

Heger Sare raised to 240,000 in the cutoff and Tudor Zapsa called in the big blind.

The flop came K♠J♥7♥ and Sare bet 200,000. Zapsa called and they both checked the 8♣ turn.

Zapsa then bet 1,100,000 on the 6♠ river, and Sare quickly called. Zapsa showed K♣8♠ and Sare mucked, dropping down to less than 1,000,000.

Kohl Four-Bet Shoves the Flop on Sare

Level 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Javier Francort took down a few pots preflop and Amiel Gamliel got a shove through to keep his stack afloat.

Then, Heger Sare raised the button to 250,000 and Jan Kohl defended his big blind.

On the J♦A♥10♥ flop, Kohl chekced and Sare continued for 200,000. Kohl then made it 500,000, only for Sare to three-bet the flop to an even 1,000,000. After burning through a time bank, Kohl shoved for 3,375,000.

Sare was not pleased to see that shove and sighed before he asked for the count. It took around three time banks for Sare to make a decision, and he did so by releasing his cards into the muck.
