Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Gareth Kalil clicked back to 130,000 after Darryl Shaff had raised to 60,000 with the latter then moving all-in for 480,000 in the hijack. Kalil snap-called in the cutoff and had the best of it.

Darryl Shaff: Q♥Q♣ All in
Gareth Kalil: A♦A♣

The board ran out 4♥3♥2♦Q♦4♠ and Shaff made queens full.

Ronit Chamani: A♥5♥ All in
Gareth Kalil: 9♠3♠

"I am going for the four," Kalil joked but the 10♥ turn as well as Q♣ river brought another setback.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
