Push And Fold

Level 13 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

We have seen a lot of shoving, re-shoving and folding in the last few orbits. All players are very much aware of the money bubble and nobody wants to go out just yet!

Trickett Increases

Level 13 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Sam Trickett raised to 80,000 on the button, and Tobias Reinkemeier called from the big blind to see the flop come down {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Both players checked, and the turn brought the {Q-Spades}. Reinkemeier checked, Trickett bet 100,000, and Reinkemeier folded.

Ace of Spades Saves Reinkemeier

Level 13 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Tobias Reinkemeier just moved all in from the button and Igor Kurganov quickly called from the big blind. We are still on the bubble and this could decide who was going to walk away with nothing.

Reinkemeier: {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Kurganov: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

The flop brought out {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Reinkemeier was looking to catch a five, ace or running straight cards to stay alive. On the turn the {10-Clubs} hit and Reinkemeier was down to just five outs. The river brought the {A-Spades} and Reinkemeier grinned as he doubled through his friends. Bubble play keeps going as we are still five-handed.

Winfred Yu limped in from the small blind, and Igor Kurganov checked his option in the big blind. The flop came down {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Yu bet 55,000. Kurganov called.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds}, and Yu fired 125,000. Kurganov gave it up, and Yu won the pot.

Ace High Takes it

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Sam Trickett raised to 70,000 from the small blind and Fabian Quoss defended his big blind.

The flop brought out {3-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Trickett fired out 65,000, Quoss called.

Both the turn, the {K-Clubs}, and the river, the {6-Hearts}, were checked and Quoss took the pot with {A-}{7-}. The five remaining players are still on the money bubble. One more elimination and everyone walks away with at least AU$500,000.
