"Dealer Power"; Skipper Spikes a King to Bust Koepke

David Salituro

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

Matthias Kribben raised to 22,000 in the hijack before Robert Koepke moved all in for 220,000 on the button. Daniel Skipper called in the small blind, while Kribben got out of the way.

Robert Koepke: 9♠9♦ All in
Daniel Skipper: A♠K♣

Koepke was racing for his tournament life, but he fell behind on the K♥J♦J♠ flop as Skipper hit two pair. The rest of the board ran out 4♥10♥ and Koepke was sent to the rail.

"Yes! Dealer power!" Skipper shouted out, raising his arms in the air while he added to his massive stack.

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

Pablo Heredia raised to 20,000 and Rifat Palevic called on the button, Frederico Pereira came along in the big blind. On the J♥7♥4♥ flop, Pereira led for 15,000 to earn a call from Heredia only and then bet again the A♦ turn for 30,000. Heredia raised to 90,000 for Pereira to call and the latter then jammed the J♦ on the river for 115,000 to send Heredia into the tank.

"Ace jack?" Heredia asked while Pereira had gathered all his belongings and closed his jacket, standing up from his chair. Pereira even tossed his card protector over to his opponent on the other side of the table as well.

Heredia tank-called and showed the K♥10♥ for a flush. Pereira revealed the A♥ first followed by the Q♣ and was sent to the payout desk.

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

Heads-up on a flop of K♠7♥10♥, Dave Stann bet 20,000 from early position and Toon Hillen called in the small blind.

The turn was the J♣ and Stann bet another 85,000. Hillen took a minute before moving all in for 120,000, and Stann snap-called.

Hillen showed A♠J♥ for a pair and straight draw, but Stann had 7♠7♦ for a set. The river was the 9♦ and Stann scored the knockout.

At the same table, Martin Kabrhel is sitting on a stack of around 130,000 while playing a game of backgammon on his phone.

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

A huge three-way all-in pot just went the way of Virgil Marculescu, which boosted his stack to around 750,000.

Nicolas Antouard had committed his stack of around 165,000 from the cutoff and Marculescu also had his 281,000 in from the button. Amit Buganim was in the small blind and was looking for a double knockout as he covered both players.

Nicolas Antouard: 10♣9♣ All in
Virgil Marculescu: A♥Q♠ All in
Amit Buganim: K♠K♣

With a ton of chips on the line, the only player to not feel hopeful after the A♣6♦J♣ flop was Buganim as his kings fell behind to the ace of Marculescu. Antouard picked up a flush draw, and added an open-ender on the 8♥ turn as he looked to triple up.

However, the J♥ on the river was a brick, which left Antouard on the rail, Buganim with just a few big blinds, and Marculescu with a very healthy stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Virgil Marculescu	740,000 350,000	350,000
Amit Buganim	20,000 137,000	137,000

Vlad Iuhas moved all in for 115,000 from under the gun and Eden Vaturi called in the hijack.

Vlad Iuhas: 7♦7♣ All in
Eden Vaturi: K♠K♣

Vaturi turned over a pair of kings and had Iuhas dominated and at risk. The 3♣A♦10♠5♠J♠ board offered no help to Iuhas and he was sent to the rail.

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

On a heads-up flop of Q♠9♠5♠, Stefan Tanase got his chips into the middle against Andre Ott and was in disgust when he found himself on very thin ice.

Stefan Tanase: 8♠7♠ All in
Andre Ott: K♠10♠

Tanase splashed his chips towards the middle already and got up from his chair, though, he had one out to a straight flush. The turn was the Q♣ and the 10♣ river ended his run.

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

Dan Sfarlea pushed a short stack of 64,000 and Do Tran called all-in for fewer than that, Mo Xu then called right behind.

Do Tran: A♦J♠ All in
Dan Sfarlea: J♣10♣
Mo Xu: A♥J♥

The 9♣5♣5♠4♣6♠ board gave Sfarlea a flush on the turn for the double and knockout of Tran.

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

Andre Herberts committed his last 118,000 from the cutoff, and got looked up by Tobias Rohe from the big blind.

Andre Herberts: K♣Q♣ All in
Tobias Rohe: A♥K♠

Herberts, upon seeing Rohe's big slick dominated him, got up out of his chair. The J♥3♦6♣ flop didn't change anything, and neither did the 4♠ turn. A 2♠ completed the board, meaning Rohe's ace-high won the pot, and sent Herberts to the rail.

Tobias Rohe	285,000 19,000	19,000
