Morris Cannot Bluff Teska

Christian Zetzsche

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Picking up the action on the K♣8♣3♦Q♥ turn, Roger Teska checked and then called a bet by Arthur Morris for 55,000. The 5♦ river completed the board and Teska checked once more. Morris now bet 135,000 and Teska tank-called to see his opponent tap the table.

Teska revealed his A♣A♦K♦J♠ and that was good enough to win the pot.

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

PokerNews walked up on the hand as three players were all in preflop.

Danny Wong: A♣Q♠K♠K♣
Martin Kabrhel: 10♥9♠8♥7♦
Gergo Nagy: A♦J♦J♥10♣

"Ok, time for triple up! This is the best dealer! Everyone wants me to bust!" Kabrhel shouted as the dealer prepared the cards.

The board ran out 6♣6♦5♥3♥3♣ for Wong's pocket kings to scoop while Nagy won the side pot with jacks and Kabrhel was eliminated.

Kabrhel then re-entered shortly after and is back in the mix.

Kornuth Gets the Double Knockout

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Jeremy Geist

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action started with a limp under the gun by Chance Kornuth. It folded to Anh Do in middle position who raised to 23,000. It then made it to 2023 bracelet winner Michael Moncek in the big blind who potted it to 77,000. Action was now back on Kornuth who put in the back-four-bet to a pot sizing of 257,000.

Do went into the tank and eventually flat-called with about 100,000 behind. Moncek then went all in for less than the four-bet and the players were off to a flop three ways with Moncek all in.

The 10♣Q♣5♠ flop landed and Kornuth already had enough chips out to cover Do's stack. Do called and the cards hit their backs.

Michael Moncek: A♥7♥K♦8♦
Anh Do: 10♦9♦8♣7♣
Chance Kornuth: A♠A♦J♣J♥

Kornuth was behind in equity going to the turn. It landed a Q♦ giving Kornuth a commanding lead but still needing to fade tons of outs. The river was a 5♥ and Kornuth would scoop a massive pot to vault him even higher on the leaderboard and send two players to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a preflop raising war, Henrik Hecklen and Jonathan Azoulay headed to the 10♥5♥3♥ flop. Around two starting stacks were in the middle and Azoulay announced all-in, pushing forward his last 142,000.

Hecklen asked for an exact count and used one of his time bank extensions before he then folded. Azoulay double-checked his cards and exposed only the A♥ before raking in the pot.

Mermelstein Making a Run

Level 11 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a heads-up completed board of 9♦10♥8♥8♣J♥, Aaron Mermelstein bet the pot of 90,000 and the action was on his opponent, Andrew Ige, who went into the tank.

After a while, Ige made the call but was then shown A♦J♠J♦6♣ for jacks full on the river and Ige quickly mucked.

"What is it with you today?" someone at the table joked to Mermelstein, who just laughed and shrugged as he stacked his new chips.
