Bise's Lead Does Not Work Out

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ben Heath raised to 130,000 from under the gun and received calls from Francisco Benitez in the small blind and Emil Bise in the big blind.

The K♥Q♥8♠ flop was then put on the felt and Benitez checked. Bise then led out for 65,000, and only Heath called. The 5♣ turn was checked by both players before the 6♥ river completed the board.

Another two checks were announced, and Bise tabled A♦3♦ for just ace-high. Heath was sitting on a pair with his Q♦J♣ and thus raked in another pot.

Ben Heath opened to 130,000 and quickly called when Timothy Adams jammed for around 1,000,000.

Timothy Adams: 10♥10♠
Ben Heath: A♥J♦

Heath ended up with trips as he ousted Adams following the A♦8♠3♠A♠2♥ runout.

"Gambling today, ace-jack snap," commented Ren Lin as he pursed his lips and shook his head.

"No count or nothing," added Daniel Dvoress

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu kicked off the action with a raise to 130,000 from early position. The action then folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind, who announced his all-in, covering both of the players who were still left to act.

Kisacikoglu made a swift call for his 1,185,000 chips and the cards went on their backs.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: 9♦9♣
Martin Kabrhel: 7♠7♣

The 3♣4♦5♣A♠ brought some opportunities to chop for Kabrhel, next to his straight and set outs. However, the J♠ river failed to give him the best hand, and Kisacikoglu double up to still have a shot of defending his title.

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Timothy Adams raised to 120,000 from the cutoff and called when Francisco Benitez moved all in for 845,000 from the big blind.

Francisco Benitez: A♠10♦
Timothy Adams: A♦J♦

Benitez was dominated and remained behind on the A♥Q♠8♠ flop, but the 10♠ turn saw him improve to two pair and he held out on the 2♦ river.

Soon after, Ben Heath opened to 130,000 from under the gun and Tamas Adamszki called from the cutoff.

Heath check-called bets of 150,000 and 425,000 on the flop and turn for the board to read J♣8♠7♥4♥K♥. Action checked through to showdown. Heath had pocket tens but Adamszki had that beat with his A♣J♦.

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Gab Yong Kim raised preflop from the hijack, and Quan Zhou was the only caller, from the big blind. On the 6♠6♦9♣ flop, Zhou checked before Kim bet 95,000 and Zhou called.

The 9♠ turn double-paired the board and Zhou decided to lead out for 180,000. Kim took a little while before putting in the calling chips, and the Q♦ river completed the board.

Both players then checked it down, and Zhou showed 7♠7♣ for the winning two pair.

Chris Brewer raised to 130,000 from the button and Tamas Adamszki defended his big blind. The flop came 2♥8♥4♠ and Adamszki checked to Brewer. The latter then bet 180,000 and Adamszki called.

The 6♠ turn saw Brewer up his sizing to a hefty 580,000, and this time Adamszki check-folded.

Quan Zhou opened to 125,000 from early position. Martin Kabrhel and Santhosh Suvarna called from the hijack and the big blind.

Zhou continued for 150,000 on the 9♠9♥8♥ flop, and both opponents called.

Action checked to Kabrhel on the 10♦ turn. He bet 670,000, which saw Santhosh and Zhouo return their cards to the dealer.

"The best turn card, best," said Kabrhel as he took in the pot.
