Veiga Above Half a Million

Christian Zetzsche

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Diogo Veiga has been steadily building a large stack and just knocked out Senad Cecunjanin to climb above half a million in chips. The latest boost was only for around 20,000 when Cecunjanin got it in with the K♥Q♠ and Veiga had that dominated with the A♥K♣.

Both players hit top pair on the K♦J♦8♣7♥10♥ board and that spelled the end for Cecunjanin.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Karavas raised and Colby Covington three-bet to 8,000 on the button. Peter Sanneblad got his last 12,400 in the middle from the big blind. Karavas squeezed to 30,000 only for Covington to push all-in for 141,800.

That instantly sent Karavas into a frenzy and he spun out of his chair.

"Do you have aces again, buddy?" he asked but eventually called with the covering stack.

Peter Sanneblad: J♥9♥ All in
Colby Covington: K♥K♠ All in
John Karavas: K♦K♣

The suited one gapper found no help on the A♦Q♣10♥6♣9♠ board and the short stack of Sanneblad was chopped up.

All-In Player: 8♥8♠ All in
Jonathan Wolter: A♦J♠

The small blind was racing for his tournament life but instantly fell behind on the A♥A♠6♠ flop as Wolter made trips. The rest of the board ran out 7♦A♣ and Wolter spiked quads on the river to secure the pot and send his opponent to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Heads-up on a board of 7♠4♥Q♣6♥, an under-the-gun player bet 5,000 before Daniel Lakerveld raised to 10,000 on the button.

His opponent called and the 6♣ fell on the river. Lakerveld then moved all in and his opponent called for around 25,000.

Lakerveld showed 6♦4♦ for a full house and his opponent mucked. The dealer eventually retrieved J♦J♠ as Lakerveld took the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

No Friends in Poker

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action folded around to Jimmy D'Ambrosio in the small blind and he limped before calling a raise to 3,000 from Henry Chan in the big blind. "You know I'm gonna lead out on any flop right," joked D'Ambrosio as the two friends from a Chicago home game prepared to battle in a heads-up pot.

D'Ambrosio kept his word following the 4♥5♥10♠ flop by tossing 3,500 into the middle. Chan stuck around to see a turn.

The Ax turn saw D'Ambrosio slow down, checking to Chan, who bet 10,000. With a "not today Henry" D'Ambrosio moved all in with the covering stack. Chan called off for his remaining 32,000 to put himself at risk.

Henry Chan: 5x4x All in
Jimmy D'Ambrosio: 3♣2♣

D'Ambrosio had turned the wheel to leave Chan needing to fill up to survive. The 9♦ river kept the straight best to send last year's 31st place finisher out short of the money while propelling D'Ambrosio up the chip counts.
