Kit falls to Van

Kit Manoel
Kit Manoel
Kit Manoel had taken several big hits of late so it was no surprise when he went all-in , on the button, for his last 42,000 after Van had made the initial raise to 18,000. Van didn't take too long to push a stack of 5,000 chips in to cover the bet as he rolled over {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}. Kit had gone with {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} so had a fair bit of work to do to catch up in the hand. The flop came {6-Spades}{A-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, so a 5 and 4 or running clubs or any 2 was required. The turn and river were at the other end of the deck - two Kings, so Kit has to be satisfied with 7th place in this event and the $23,645 that goes with it.

Weng Wong doubles up

On a flop of {3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} Weng Wong moves all in behind a $40,000 bet from Kit Manoel with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Kit insta calls , showing {5-Spades}{6-Clubs} for a flopped straight.

The {6-Hearts} on the turn gives Weng a flush and he doubles up to just over $200,000

Players manipulate the format

Players are fully aware that if they ask for a count of the chips a player has, the clock is stopped while it is counted down. There are still piles of small denomination chips in play and this takes a long time for the Dealer to verify.

Ali Masterman takes $140K pot off Martin Comer

On a flop of {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts} Martin Comer check raises Ali Mastermans $16,000 bet to $50,000.

Ali goes into the tank, using his "Time Breaker" button and asking for a count of Martin's chips. Martin has approximately $200,000 behind him.

Ali announces "all in" and it is Martins turn to use the Time Breaker button. He goes into his extra 40 seconds of time and eventually folds.
