Kmart Clicks it Back

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Kevin Martin opened the button to 110,000 before Imad Derwiche defended his big blind.

The 4♦3♥5♦ flop landed and action checked to Martin who continued for 150,000. Derwiche promptly met that action with a min-click to 300,000.

Martin sat in the tank for a moment and then clicked it right back to 575,000. Derwiche went into the tank for about a minute but eventually conceded the pot to Martin.

Kevin Martin opened to 120,000 from the cutoff and Timothy Adams three-bet to 450,000 in the big blind. Martin responded with a four-bet jam and Adams called off with around 1,600,000.

Timothy Adams: A♠K♦
Kevin Martin: 2♠2♣

Adams took the lead on the flop of A♦Q♦J♣ and nothing changed on the J♦3♠ runout for the Canadian to double through the Canadian.

After significant action Elias Talvitie found himself all in and at risk against the table big stack of Joseph Lebrun.

The cards hit their backs.

Elias Talvitie: K♦K♣
Joseph Lebrun: A♥K♥

No sweat for Lebrun drilled the ace on the A♠7♥3♣ flop. The 6♥ turn and A♣ river river sealed the deal and Talvitie hit the rail late in Day 2.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action folded to Jose Zurita in the cutoff who opened to 100,000 before Luke Graham moved all in from the button for about 575,000. It was then on Hao Chung in the small blind who three-bet to 1,200,000. Zurita got out of the way and the cards hit their backs with Graham all in and at risk.

Luke Graham: K♠10♠
Hao Chung: Q♣Q♥

The full board ran out J♦9♣K♣9♠8♦ and with the flopped king Graham got the pure double to stay alive.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

One of the biggest pots of the day took place at Table 29 as Rui Sousa and Matthias Lipp collided.

The board read K♥6♣8♣J♦6♥ and several million in chips were already in the middle before Lipp bet all in for around 2,100,000. Sousa went deep into the tank for several minutes before calling.

Lipp tabled Q♠7♠ for a stone bluff as Sousa showed K♠Q♣ to win the pot with a pair of queens.
