Vousden Busts to Boianovsky in Massive Pot
In Level 29 (17,500/35,000/4,500) of the GGPoker WSOP Event #11: $10,000 Super MILLION$ High Roller NLH, $5M GTD, the same tournament eventually won by Erik Seidel for bracelet No. 9, when Samuel Vousden min-raised to 70,000 from under the gun and Felipe "LisFlower" Boianovsky three-bet to 245,000 out of the small blind, which Vousden called.
They headed to the 10♠9♠7♥ flop on which both players checked. The Q♣ turn, likewise, brought no betting action. Boianovsky then jammed the Q♠ river for nearly 1.2 million into a pot of just 556,500. Vousden was marginally covered with a stack of 1,052,141 behind and went deep into the tank. He depleted nearly the entire time bank and called with a few seconds remaining.
Boianovsky flipped over A♠6♠ for the nut flush and the A♦Q♦ of Vousden for trips queens was no good.
Seidel Dispatches Segebrecht on Way to Victory
In the same tournament, it was at the final table with the blinds at 125,000/250,000 when Erik Seidel raised to 500,000 from the middle position and the action folded to Claas Segebrecht in the big blind who opted to three-bet shove for 2,666,437 which Seidel quickly called.
Claas Segebrecht: 9♠9♣
Erik Seidel: K♠K♥
The board ran out 5♠10♠3♣K♦9♥ for Seidel to turn a set to leave Segebrecht drawing dead while the latter made the lower set on the river to bust in seventh place for $214,558 while Seidel went on to win for $977,842.
Czika Calls Watson's Bluff
In Event #10: $400 DOUBLE CHANCE Pot-Limit Omaha [2-Stack], it was Level 43 (250,000/500,000/60,000) and just three players remained when Mike Watson called from the small blind and Roland "Quina Quen" Czika raised to 1,500,000. Watson made the call to see a flop and it came 10♥4♦4♥.
Watson checked and Czika fired 767,600. Watson made the check-call and the turn came 10♣. Both players checked the turn to see a river 6♣.
Watson fired a bet of 4,715,200 and was called by Czika, who turned over A♥A♣5♦4♣ for three aces. Watson showed K♠J♦7♥3♥ for the missed flush and Czika scooped a big pot to put Watson near elimination. Watson wound up busting in third place for $28,944 while Czika claimed the bracelet and $55,369 in prize money.
Addamo Crashes Out Against Bosca Ramon
In Level 2 of Event #21: $25,000 Super High Roller Championship NLH, $5M GTD, a new table opened and one hand was played heads-up. It turned out to provide fireworks between Michael Addamo and Vicent Bosca Ramon. The Spaniard defended against an open raise to 1,500 and they headed to the K♣9♣5♥ flop, on which Bosca Ramon check-called for 2,363.
On the 4♦ turn, Bosca Ramon checked once more and Addamo made it 11,645 to go. The call by the Spaniard followed and they headed to the 3♠ on the river. Once Bosca Ramon checked, Addamo used a portion of his time bank and ripped it in for 84,417. Bosca Ramon, likewise, used his time bank and then called.
Addamo flipped over 6♣4♥ for a pair of fours and Bosca Ramon earned the first knockout of the day with K♠6♠ for top pair with a weak kicker. Addamo wasn't done though as he opted to re-enter.
Addamo Felted by Martirosian's Quads
Later in the same tournament in Level 20 (4,000/8,000/1,000), Artur Martirosian opened to 17,600 in the cutoff and called a three-bet to 61,600 by Addamo in the small blind. Addamo bet small for just 16,800 on the A♣A♦Q♥ flop and the A♥ turn went check, check.
On the K♠ river, Addamo used his time bank to check and Martirosian moved all-in. Addamo had 162,600 behind and used almost his entire time bank to then call. Martirosian tabled A♠9♥ for quads and Addamo's Q♦Q♣ went down in flames. It was a big hand for Martirosian, who was fresh off winning the SHRB Europe Event #6: $100,000 No-Limit Hold'em for $1,400,000.
