Kisacikoglu Doubles Through Holz

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Fedor Holz moved all-in from middle position and was called by Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button. The blinds got out of the way, and Kisacikoglu was at risk.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Fedor Holz: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

The {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} flop was safe for Holz, but the {j-Spades} turn gave Kisacikoglu addition outs with a straight draw. The river {10-Diamonds} completed broadway for Kisacikoglu, who doubled up on the bubble.

Hunichen Doubles Up

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

David Yan raised from under the gun and called when Chris Hunichen moved all in from middle position.

Chris Hunichen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
David Yan: {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}

Hunichen was a favorite to stay alive and the {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} runout did not pose any danger. Yan's big stack took a hit as Hunichen doubled up.

Bad Runout for Peters

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
David Peters
David Peters

David Yan opened to 30,000 from under the gun and found one caller in big blind David Peters. The duo went to a flop of {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} which saw a check from Peters and a continuation from Yan for 24,000.

Peters made the call and they went to the turn card {7-Hearts}, to which both players opted to check.

The river fell the {7-Clubs} and the action went check-check again. Peters turned over {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a monster hand on the flop with two pair and a flush draw, but Yan then flipped over {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a bigger two pair on the river to take the pot.

Peters Pressures Hunichen

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

David Peters raised to 24,000 in early position and was called by Chris Hunichen in the big blind.

Hunichen checked the {j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop and called once Peters continued for 12,000.

Peters followed another check on the {5-Hearts} turn with a bet of 30,000. Hunichen used a time bank before making the fold, shipping the pot to Peters.

Poker Player Busts from WSOP Circuit King's Main Event in a Chop Pot; No One Caught It!

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Hand

You can chalk this one up in the "never seen that before" poker category. Pierre Kauert busted in sixth place in the WSOP Circuit Main Event at King's Casino on...get this...a heads-up chop pot.

Yes, that's right, he became the first player ever, at least on a live stream, to be eliminated from a tournament in a hand he didn't actually lose. No one, not even the announcers, caught the mistake, and by the time it was discovered the pot should have been chopped, it was too late.

"It does fall under player and dealer responsibility and cannot really do anything about it at this point. If it wasn’t live streamed it would never have been realized and so we just move on," World Poker Tour's Executive Tour Director Matt Savage, who was not associated with the event, explained to PokerNews when asked how he would have proceeded.

See how the hand went down here!
