Kozieja Rivers Flush to Leave Larsen Short

Matt Warburton

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Dan Larsen raised to 800,000 from the small blind and Grzegorz Kozieja called in the big blind.

The flop came 5♣8♠A♥. Larsen continued for 400,000 and Kozieja called. The turn was the 3♥. Larsen bet out again for 1,500,000 and Kozieja called again.

The river was the 2♥. Larsen pushed all in and Kozieja immediately made the call with the shorter stack.

Larsen showed A♠8x for two pair. Kozieja, however, flipped over Q♥4♥. He'd picked up a flush draw with backdoor straight draw on the turn and made his flush on the river. Kozieja raked in a huge pot, leaving Larsen with just 1,200,000.

Level 34 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Sokratis Linaras shoved all in from under the gun on the six-handed table for 1,675,000 and was called by Jason Wheeler the next seat across. The rest of the table folded and the players flipped their cards, with Linaras at risk.

Jason Wheeler: K♦J♠

The board ran out 7♣9♣4♦A♠9♥. Neither player improved their hand and so Wheeler held with the nines on board and his king-high.

The hand before, Wheeler had made a four-bet shove to chip up and, after winning the all in, he chipped up to over 10,000,000.

Linaras was eliminated from the tournament in sixth place for €95,120.
