Rocco Valuebluffs Szekeres Out of the Main Event

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action was caught when the completed board of A♠Q♥K♠5♥K♦ was already dealt. Michael Rocco had bet 374,000 chips, exactly enough to put his opponent Carsten Szekeres all-in.

Szekeres pondered his options for a while before announcing "I can't fold". Rocco tabled A♦3♥ for two pair, aces and kings, and Szekeres had to show his 3♠3♣ for a daring herocall.

"I guess he's not folding an ace," Rocco dryly remarked after Szekeres had exited the tournament area.

[user38873]

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

On the river of a board reading Q♠10♠10♦J♣6♠, Jacob Amsellem bet 111,000 out of the big blind.

"What do you have, a flush?" Omar Eljach in the cutoff inquired. Both engaged in some chatter back and forth, during which Eljach asked if ace-king was any good.

"Oh man, this is the best hand I had all day," Eljach added and folded a few seconds later.

Amsellem offered to show one card and Eljach picked the one on the left. Ioannis Angelou-Konstas was sitting the closest and flipped over the 2♣.

The guessing game then began and Eljach nodded when Angelou-Konstas put him on pocket kings.

[user38873]

Nível 18 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic was left short and jammed around eight blinds with king-ten. He was up against the K♦K♥ of Hyunsup Kim and spiked a gutshot on the J♣9♠2♥ flop. The K♠ turn gave Kim a set of kings and no queen came to the rescue on a blank 6♣ river.

One table over, Hael Al Labani was sent to the payout desk as well.

Yulian Bogdanov opened to 32,000 on the button and Al Labani made it 127,000 to go in the small blind. Bogdanov clicked it back to 227,000 and then called the shove by his table neighbour on the other side of the dealer for what appeared to be 637,000.

Hael Al Labani: A♥Q♥
Yulian Bogdanov: A♦K♦

The kicker played on the J♣9♦6♣8♥A♣ runout as the rich got richer.

[user38873]

Nível 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Picking up the action on the 8♦5♥3♥9♣ turn, Dario Sammartino checked and then called a bet worth 200,000 by the table chip leader Keneshka Kabir from one seat over.

Sammartino checked again the 4♣ on the river and Kabir took just a few seconds before announcing all-in.

That sent the Italian into the tank for five minutes as the end of the level was reached. Sammartino then called and Kabir revealed his Q♦10♣ for a bluff gone wrong.

Sammartino slammed his A♦K♣ on the felt for a hero-call with ace-king high and doubled for 512,000 to put a big dent into Kabir's stack.

Dvoress Done In by Cruel River

Nível 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Yulian Bogdanov bet 60,000 on a flop of Q♥Q♠K♠ and Daniel Dvoress then raised to 135,000.

Bogdanov called and the 10♣ fell on the turn. He checked over to Dvoress, and Dvoress then bet 165,000. Bogdanov came back with an all-in shove and sent Dvoress deep in the tank.

Dvoress spent several minutes shaking his head and counting out his stack before calling for around 500,000. He turned over Q♣7♣ for trips, while Bogdanov had K♦10♦.

"I knew you had a queen," Bogdanov said as he was one card away from handing over the massive double up. The river, though, brought the K♣ and Bogdanov spiked a full house to send Dvoress crashing to the rail in sudden fashion.
