Three-Bet Pot Goes to Maue

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress opened to 25,000 and then called a three-bet to 78,000 by Leonard Maue from one seat over in the cutoff.

Both players checked down the A♦10♥8♥3♣6♣ board entirely and Dvoress couldn't beat the K♣8♣ of Maue, who continued his upward trend.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas limped in from the hijack, and Stephen Chidwick followed suit from the cutoff. Ren Lin was in the big blind with a fresh stack, and spent one time bank extension before announcing "call". However, he misunderstood the situation and put in 25,000 chips.

Because the action was verbally announced as a call, Lin was forced to check and the trio saw a flop of K♦Q♦K♣, where Angelou-Konstas bet 13,000 after a check from Lin. Chidwick called before Lin got out of the way.

On the 2♦ turn, Angelou-Konstas slowed down with a check and quickly thereafter folded to a 23,000 bet from Chidwick.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Hyunsup Kim raised it up to 25,000 and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 80,000. It folded back to the initial raiser, who briefly vaulted out of his chair to study the stack of his opponent. Kim then splashed in a reraise to 800,000 and Chidwick instantly folded.

"I like it, you gamble," Ren Lin joked.

It was then Lin who raised the button and Kim defended the big blind. Kim check-called for 20,000 on the K♣6♠4♥ flop and 80,000 on the 7♣ turn. He then bet the 4♦ river for 110,000 and Lin tanked for a short while.

Once Lin called, Kim tabled the K♠10♣ and that won the pot.

"You gamble too much," Chris Brewer joked to Lin.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress led the 9♠2♥2♦ flop for 55,000 and Orpen Kisacikoglu called. The same action repeated on the K♦ turn for 180,000 and the 6♦ river completed the board.

Dvoress now bet 1,000,000, keeping just a single T-1,000 chip behind. Kisacikoglu burned through a time bank, shook his head and folded.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Quan Zhou raised to 27,000 from the button and Santhosh Suvarna called from the small blind. Felipe Ketzer then also came along from the big blind and the three saw a flop of K♣7♦7♣.

The action checked to Zhou, who put out a continuation-bet of 30,000. Suvarna quickly folded but Ketzer pulled out a raise to 87,000. Zhou thought about it for a bit but folded his hand before his shot clock reached zero.

Maue Wins Another Showdown Pot

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress had raised on the button for both players in the blinds, Leonard Maue and Timothy Adams, to come along. There was no action until the J♥4♠3♣4♣6♠ river on which Maue and Adams checked.

Dvoress bet 48,000 and Maue called after short consideration, Adams folded.

Maue was ready to muck his cards and kept them high. When Dvoress only showed the K♠8♣ for a bluff, he flipped over the 5♦5♠ and earned the pot.

Kisacikoglu Eliminated by Dvoress

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu squeezed to 160,000 over an initial raise to 27,000 and two callers. That forced out Adrian Mateos but Daniel Dvoress then pushed all-in. Leonard Maue folded and it was back on Kisacikoglu, who had no time banks remaining.

Eventually, the defending champion shrugged and called it off.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: A♦J♦
Daniel Dvoress: Q♥Q♠

The 8♣8♠8♥ flop gave Kisacikoglu one more out to stay alive but the 3♦ turn and 2♣ river bricked off.

Kisacikoglu quickly counted his stack, to which the dealer responded "he has more".

Kisacikoglu was aware of that and just tried to figure out how much he was all-in for before departing the tournament area. The stack size preflop was seemingly just shy of 700,000.

Lin Wins With "Natural Nine"

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ren Lin limped in from under the gun before Gab Yong Kim raised to 41,000 from the next seat over. The action then folded to Teun Mulder in the big blind, who made the call. Lin put in the extra chips as well, and a flop of 6♥7♠K♣ was put on the felt.

It checked to Kim, who made a tiny bet of 19,000 chips. It was not big enough to scare away either Mulder or Lin, as they both called. The 6♣ then fell and Mulder led out for 70,000. Again, all three contenders stayed in the pot, as both of his opponents made the call.

On the 8♦ river, Mulder slowed down and checked, causing Lin to make a bet of 235,000. Kim pondered his options for a while but eventually made the call, after which Mulder snap called.

"Natural nine!", Lin exclaimed as he tabled his 6♠3♠ for trips. Mulder threw his cards into the muck and the big pot was shipped Lin's way.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tamas Adamszki had raised in the hijack and he earned calls from three opponents as they headed to the J♥8♣7♦ flop. It checked to Fahredin Mustafov who bet 45,000 and Santhosh Suvarna check-called in the small blind, as did Adamszki.

They checked down the K♠ on the river and Suvarna tabled J♠9♥. Adamski mucked but Mustafov had the winning hand in Q♥J♣.

Maue Jams Into Barbero

Christian Zetzsche

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Leonard Maue had raised to 26,000 preflop and Nacho Barbero was the only caller in the big blind.

Following a flop of K♥9♦6♠, Barbero check-raised from 22,000 to 60,000 and Maue called. The 3♠ turn saw Barbero bet 80,000 and Maue call before the Q♣ river completed the board.

Barbero now opted to check and Maue announced all-in after a few seconds only.

That sent his opponent into the tank and Barbero used one time bank extension before folding.
