Kuzin for a Bruisin'

Connor Richards
Connor Richards
Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A middle position player opened and Dmitrii Kuzin three-bet jammed a stack of around 330,000 from the small blind. His opponent called with a bigger stack.

Dmitrii Kuzin: K♠Q♥ All in
Middle Position: 9♥9♣

There were a rollercoaster of emotions for both players as the dealer fanned the 10♠Q♠9♠ flop, which at first appeared to give Kuzin the lead before revealing a set for his opponent. However the 3♠ turn gave Kuzin a flush and the A♥ river failed to pair the board to earn him a double.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alexander Kimpel opened from the hijack to 20,000 and the small blind three-bet to 50,000. Once the blinds folded, Kimpel then shoved for 216,000, and the small blind quickly called.

Alexander Kimpel: 8♣8♠ All in
Small Blind: 2♣2♠

Kimpel's snowmen held up on the A♠9♦A♣J♣7♣ board which meant he doubled up and now has a stack of just under the half million milestone.

Action was caught on the flop of 6♥10♣10♥ in a hand between Joe McKeehen in the small blind and the player in middle position.

With over 100,000 in the pot, McKeehen led out with a bet of 45,000 and middle position raised. McKeehen made the call, bringing the A♦ turn which went check-check.

The 8♣ river went check-check as well, and McKeehen tabled the winner with Q♥Q♦ for two pair, queens and tens.

Another player joked about European players and Andrea Dato replied "I don't know, I am just the double-up guy. I go all-in preflop."

Danielle Andersen raised the next hand to 21,000 and Dato flat-called from the small blind. They checked all the way on the Q♦9♠4♥8♠2♣ runout and Dato's 6♦6♣ won the pot.

Heads-up to the 10♦9♣5♣A♣ turn, Bin Weng checked in the big blind and Aleksejs Ponakovs bet 45,000 on the button. Weng then check-raised to 191,000 and Ponakovs reluctantly called.

They ended up checking the 6♥ on the river and Weng tabled the K♣3♥ for the missed nut flush draw. Ponakovs won the pot with A♥Q♣ and as he raked in the pot, the Latvian joked "if you go all-in, I shit my pants".

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

As the final tables in the blue section were breaking, Lingkun Lu raised in the cutoff and the player in the big blind defended. The flop fell K♦2♦7♠ and the big blind check-raised all in for 105,000 chips.

Lu immediately called and the cards were shown down.

Big blind: K♥5♦ All in
Lingkun Lu: 8♦6♦

The big blind's top pair remained safe on the 7♥ turn, but the A♦ river gave Lu a flush to score one final elimination before he was moved to the red section.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of 7♣Q♣7♠4♠2♥, the big blind bet all in for 526,000 with around that in the pot.

Dong Lee went into the tank in the cutoff as he considered calling off with his remaining 480,000. Eventually, he found the call.

It was the right move as his opponent tabled A♥9♠ for his ace-high as Lee revealed 10♣10♦ to win the pot and double up with a pair of tens.

Picking up the action partway through the hand, Andreas Wagner in middle position was all in and at risk for his stack of 300,000 against Bojan Gledovic on the button.

Andreas Wagner: A♣A♠ All in
Bojan Gledovic: A♥J♦

Wagner had found pocket rockets at an opportune time and held on the 4♠9♣7♥2♦8♦ runout to secure the full double, leaving Gledovic with just 20,000.

Gledovic was eliminated a couple of hands later.

A player in early position raised to 22,000 before John Borges moved all in for 173,000 in middle position. Gabriel Moura called on the button, as did the original raiser.

Both players checked the 5♠2♦3♣ flop. The turn was the 6♦ and Moura bet 80,000. His opponent called to create a side pot and they both checked down the 5♣ river.

Borges showed 10♥10♣, but Moura turned over J♥J♠. "Oh, you do outpip me," Borges said before wishing the table good luck and making his way to the payout desk.
