Duarte Felts Nincevic

MattHansen

Nível 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Just before blinds went up, Eros Calderone raised to 6,000 from late position before Mathias Duarte called from the next seat over. Mladen Nincevic came along from the small blind and Sam Grafton called from the big blind.

The flop was 2♠J♠5♥ and action checked to Duarte for a bet of 12,000. Nincevic thought for a moment and raised to 30,000, which sent Grafton and Calderone out of the pot. Duarte called and the turn was 4♦.

Nincevic quickly shoved the turn for around 63,000 and Duarte gave it a moment of thought before he called with more. Duarte showed the A♣J♣ for a pair of jacks, which was good enough to beat Nincevic's Q♥J♥ and send him to the rail.

Orpaz Proving Unstoppable

Nível 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Orpaz increased his chip lead to more than 900,000 by recently busting two players.

According to Orpaz, Renat Bohdanov raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Orpaz called in the small blind with A♦4♦. The flop came 5x3x2x with two hears, giving Orpaz the straight, and he raised to 18,000 after Bohdanov bet 6,000.

Bohdanov raised to 43,000, Orpaz moved all in, and Bohdanov called for around 100,000 with two fives for a flopped set. The board ran out Q♦7♥ and Orpaz sent him to the rail.

Orpaz busted Nicolas Chouity at this table a few hands earlier with two kings.

"I was reading the updates yesterday and wondered why you kept getting mentioned," tablemate Daniel Rezaei joked with him afterward.

Kasper Wakes Up With Kings

Nível 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 10,000 from under the gun before Jamie O'Connor, next to act, shoved all in for 70,000. Henri Kasper then reshoved and Mokri got out of the way.

Jamie O'Connor: 4♥4♠
Henri Kasper: K♣K♦

O'Connor had run into Kasper's kings but found some hope on the A♦3♣5♠ flop with a straight draw. The 8♦ turn was no help, and neither was the K♠ river as he hit the rail.

"You're very lucky in all-ins," Mokri told Kasper after the hand.

MattHansen

Nível 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Patrick Kennedy raised to 12,000 and Sam Grafton called from the button before Erik Seidel came along from the big blind.

The flop was 8♣6♥7♣ and action checked to Grafton for a bet of 11,000. Seidel called but Kennedy raised to 35,000, and that was too much for Grafton. Seidel came along on the raise and the turn was J♣.

Seidel checked again on the turn and called when Kennedy bet 35,000. The river was J♥.

Seidel checked once more and went into the tank when Kennedy tossed out 110,000. After a few moments of thought, Seidel gave it up and Kennedy took the pot.
