From under the gun, Patrick Healy raised to 40,000 and Kenneth Wong called from the next seat. Yann Dion was in the big blind and action folded to him before he three-bet to 159,000. A few seconds passed before Healy announced a reraise. He then paused for a few more seconds and announced, "450,000 total." Wong folded and then Dion moved all in. Healy snapped and tabled the . Dion held the .
The flop came down and Dion went from crushed to feeling pretty good about his chances having flopped three hearts. The turn was the and gave Dion even more outs with a Broadway straight draw now.
The river failed to give him anything he needed with the and he was forced to pay the toll. Dion looked like all the wind had been knocked out of his sails, but he wasn't completely done yet. Dion was left with 875,000 in chips, which is still nearly 44 big blinds. Healy doubled to the chip lead with 3.6 million after being all on preflop for 1.804 million.
A couple of profanities and a violently kicked chair is what occurred right after the following hand played out.
It was a blind versus blind situation that saw Karim Jomeen and Oliver Speidel take to a flop. Speidel led for 75,000 and Jomeen promptly raised it up to 200,000. Speidel then jammed for his 674,000-chip stack and after some thought, Jomeen made the call.
Jomeen:
Speidel:
It was a couple of over-cards for Speidel and top-pair for Jomeen. The was safe, but when the hit the river, this prompted Jomeen to scream out a certain profanity in agony. He then went to the nearest empty tournament tabled and kicked the chair in way that sounded like it must have hurt his foot. Jomeen was left crippled and now sits in his seat looking very unhappy.
Mohamad Kowssarie is sitting atop the chip leader board right now and we caught a recent hand between him and Janis Lesinskis that added to his seemingly ever-growing stack.
Lesinskis opened it to 40,000 from the button and Kowssarie clicked it back to 125,000. It was then back on Lesinskis and he four-bet to 260,000. Kowssarie made the call and the flop was dealt.
Both players checked on the flop and the hit the turn. Kowssarie casualy gathered 250,000 worth of chips and flicked them out in front of him. It was too much for Lesinskis and he sent his cards into the muck.
From the button, Yann Dion raised to 40,000. Patrick Healy called from the small blind and then Kenneth Wong squeezed in a three-bet to 105,000 from the big blind. Dion and Healy both folded.
From the cutoff seat, Bjorn Li raised to 45,000. Mile Krstanoski reraised to 100,000 from the button and then Daniel Idema four-bet from the small blind to 220,000. Lee Nelson folded from the big blind and Li also gave it up. Krstanoski made the call.
The flop came down and Idema bet 280,000. Krstanoski folded and Idema won the pot.
Bjorn Li opened the pot from the button holding and Daniel Idema made the call in the big blind holding . The flop prompted Idema to check and then call Li's bet of 49,000.
The on the turn saw Idema again check, except this time he raised it up to 250,000 when Li bet 104,000. Li made the call and the hit the river. Idema took a little longer to make his decision here, but again opted to check. Li then thought for almost a minute, cutting down his chip stacks and thinking about what to do. Eventually Li checked.
When the players turned their cards over, Idema's hand was not good enough for the rivered small pair for Li.
Daniel Idema raised to 40,000 from under the gun and action folded to Bjorn Li in the small blind. Li three-bet and made it 120,000 to go. Mile Krstanoski was in the big blind and four-bet to 405,000. That knocked Idema out of the way and action fell back to Li. He studied his opponent and then announced that he was all in. Krstanoski made the call.
Krstanoski:
Li:
Krstanoski held the best of it when the money went in, but he wasn't a huge favorite as he was flipping with Li. Krstanoski was the player at risk and all in for 1.374 million in chips.
The flop came down and Krstanoski had dodged what he needed to so far. The on the turn left Li needing an ace or a queen to knock out the shorter-stacked Krstanoski.
The river was the and Li let out a big sigh while dropping and splashing all of the chips he was holding in his hand, clearly upset that he didn't win the flip to knock out Krstanoski. Krstanoski doubled up and is now second in chips.
We missed some of the early action but when we came to Table 31, Daniel Idema was involved in a hand with Karim Jomeen. The board showed , there was over 100,000 already in the pot and Jomeen was first to act. When Jomeen checked, Idema bet 55,000 and Jomeen insta-raised to 210,000. Idema called almost as quickly and the was dealt on the river.
This time Jomeen led for 370,000 and Idema didn't take long to make the call. As soon as Idema announced the call, Jomeen flicked his cards into the muck, which prompted Idema to slide his cards into the muck and take down the pot.
At this point Jomeen said, "What about showdown? Don't i get to see his cards?" Idema was sure he didn't have to show his hand and the table couldn't really agree on what the correct ruling was, but the tournament director stated that since Jomeen was the last aggressor and he threw his cards into the muck, he was not entitled to see Idema's cards.
