Kaverman Wins Huge Flip

Frank Visser

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Mike Watson raised his button to 120,000, after which Byron Kaverman jammed all in for 1,045,000. Markkos Ladev asked for a count in the big blind but ultimately folded, while Watson made a quick call thereafter.

Byron Kaverman: K♥J♥ All in
Mike Watson: 9♠9♦

Watson flopped a set on 4♥10♠9♥, but Kaverman turned a flush on the 2♥ to take the lead.

The board did not pair with the K♣ river, doubling up Kaverman and seeing him conquer the chip lead.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The players had been playing mostly shove or fold when Mike Watson raised to 150,000 in the small blind. Byron Kaverman called in the big blind, after which Watson checked the 6♦10♥K♠ flop.

Kaverman then bet 90,000, which elicited a quick fold from his opponent.

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Markkos Ladev piled in his stack of 450,000 from the small blind and was quickly called by Mike Watson in the big blind.

Markkos Ladev: J♣6♥ All in
Mike Watson: A♦10♦

The 5♠Q♦7♦ flop put Ladev in a bad spot, as Watson had flopped a flush draw with his ace-high. The J♥ turn gave Ladev a pair, however, and that was enough to double up when the 5♣ river bricked out the board.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action was caught on a turn of 6♠5♥2♣7♣. A big pot of 600,000 was already in the middle between Mike Watson in the small blind and Enrico Camosci in the big blind.

Watson then bet 260,000 and Camosci shoved all in for 945,000 in total. Watson immediately called with the covering stack and the cards were tabled.

Enrico Camosci: 7♠5♠ All in
Mike Watson: 8♥4♥

Camosci's two pair was up against Watson's straight. The K♦ river did not make Camosci a full house, eliminating the former chipleader in fourth place.

Watson, meanwhile, was awarded the monster pot and ended up with a big chip lead over his other two opponents.

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Byron Kaverman got his stack of 595,000 in the middle from the big blind against Enrico Camosci in the small blind.

Byron Kaverman: A♠Q♣ All in
Enrico Camosci: 3♥3♣

Camosci remained ahead on the 7♠5♥8♠ flop, but the Q♠ turn brought Kaverman a pair to vault him into the lead.

The J♠ river was not one of the remaining threes in the deck, doubling up Kaverman and making him even in stacks with his opponent.

Niklas Astedt moved all in from the small blind for 595,000. Enrico Camosci asked for a count in the big blind and then made the call.

Niklas Astedt: K♥J♣ All in
Enrico Camosci: A♥10♠

The Q♦6♠3♠ flop helped neither player, but the 10♣ turn gave Camosci a pair to extend his lead. The 4♠ river did not help Astedt, and he said his goodbyes in fifth.
