Suvarna Cracks Mosbock's Kings

Brett Slezak

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Santhosh Suvarna opened the hijack to 20,000 before Mario Mosbock three-bet to 75,000 from the small blind and Suvarna snap-called.

On the Q♦J♦8♠ flop, Mosbock took some time before he elected to jam for 240,000 into a pot of 170,000 and Suvarna snapped it off.

Mario Mosbock: K♥K♣ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: J♣8♦

Suvarna had flopped bottom two against the overpair of Mosbock. The board ran out 10♦7♠ as Suvarna held to send Mosbock to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jason Mercier was one of the short stacks at his table and ripped all in for his last 159,000 from the cutoff. Jim Collopy shoved all in for 412,000 on the button, and Jean-Noel Thorel asked for a count of both stacks. Thorel then moved all in for 605,000, and Justin Bonomo quickly got out of the way in the big blind.

Jason Mercier: 5♥5♣ All in
Jim Collopy: A♣K♠ All in
Jean-Noel Thorel: A♠J♣

Mercier was the favorite as the only player with a pair but had plenty of cards to fade. The Q♦4♦2♥ flop was so far so good, and the 7♠ on the turn left it that way. However, the J♠ on the river gave Thorel the only winning option and eliminated both of his opponents.

"Yes!" he exclaimed, banging the table with both of his fists. He looked to Bonomo and shrugged as they laughed.

Level 6 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a flop of Q♦5♠A♠, David D'Alessandro bet 60,000 from the cutoff and Fedor Holz raised to 120,000 from the hijack. D'Alessandro called.

D'Alessandro checked on the 6♥ turn and Holz bet 225,000. D'Alessandro check-jammed a stack of around 600,000, and Holz quickly called.

David D'Alessandro: A♣K♦ All in
Fedor Holz: Q♥Q♣

D'Alessandro had top pair top kicker but was drawing stone dead against the German prodigy's set of queens. The K♠ bricked off on the river to mark his elimination.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Dominykas Mikolaitis opened from middle position and Tamas Adamszki three-bet in the small blind. Mikolaitis called.

Adamszki bet on the flop of A♠8♣5♦ and Mikolaitis called. Adamszki then bet 41,000 on the J♦ turn and Mikolaitis again called.

Adamszki moved all in for around 100,000 on the 2♠ river and was met with a snap-call. Adamszki showed A♦Q♠ for top pair but couldn't beat the aces up of his opponent with A♥J♥.

At the same table, Michael Acevedo and Justin Bonomo are wearing matching Palestinian scarves. "I like your style," commented Acevedo.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Chris Hunichen made a big call in the final hand before first break. In a heads-up pot on a flop of 3♦5♣3♠ Dimitar Danchev checked and Hunichen bet 20,000. Danchev called.

Danchev checked again on the 10♠ turn and Hunichen sized up to 57,000. Danchev again called.

Danchev checked once more on the Q♦ river and Hunichen bet 150,000. Danchev check-raised all in for around 410,000 and Hunichen entered a deep tank that extended into the 15-minute break. Eventually, Hunichen called.

Danchev showed 5♠4♠ for a pair of fives as Hunichen revealed K♥K♦ to win the pot with a pair of kings.
