Idema Loses Chips To Li

Daniel Idema
Daniel Idema

Bjorn Li opened it up to 80,000 from under the gun and only Daniel Idema in the big blind made the call. The {q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades} flop saw Li bet 90,000 and Idema make the call.

Both players checked the {9-Spades} turn and the {3-Hearts} hit the river. Li began his betting again here, throwing out 250,000. When Idema made the call, his cards would go into the muck as Li turned over his {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}.

Li Shoves Back Early

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Bjorn Li
Bjorn Li

Bjorn Li has made a power play on one of the first hands back from the break. Li opened it with a min-raise from the hijack and Oliver Speidel promptly three-bet to 250,000. Li then thought for a few moments before announcing he was all in. Speidel insta-mucked and Li took it down.

Oliver Speidel
Oliver Speidel

From the button, Oliver Speidel raised to 75,000. Mohamad Kowssarie called from the small blind and the flop came down {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Kowssarie checked and Speidel bet 110,000. Kowssarie called.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and both players checked to see the {K-Diamonds} pair the board on the river. After Kowssarie checked, Speidel bet 205,000. Kowssarie made the call.

Speidel showed the {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Kowssarie mucked his hand.

Idema Takes It With a Drawing Hand

When Mohamad Kowssarrie limped from early position, Mile Krstanoski would raise it up to 150,000. Daniel Idema was on his direct left and would pop it to 275,000. The rest of the table got out of the way before Krstanoski went into the tank.

When Krstanoski folded, Idema apparently said, "I had nine-high".

"You had nine-high?" asked Bjorn Li.

"No, i said i had a drawing hand," replied Idema, enunciating his words this time.

Wong Wins Big Pot; Healy Struggles

Kenneth Wong
Kenneth Wong

One of the biggest pots of the tournament has just gone down and it was between Kenneth Wong and Patrick Healy. The action was opened by Healy preflop and Wong made the call as the {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs} flop was dealt.

On the flop, Wong check-called a bet from Healy and then the {6-Diamonds} turn was dealt. Wong again checked, except this time he raised it up when Healy bet 450,000. It was a min-raise to Healy and he made the call.

The {10-Clubs} on the river led both players to check and when Wong tabled his {6-Spades}{8-Clubs}, the two-pair made Healy give a slight sigh. Healy was about to muck his cards but ended up deciding to show his {k-}{j-}.
