Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Calum Grant

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Martin Morawiec, Junhyoung Ki, Vitaliy Kryza and Pawel Zawadowicz limped in from under the gun, middle position, the button and small blind respectively. Kai Penzersinski checked his option in the big blind.

Action checked to Morawiec on the 10♥7♠2♥ flop, and he bet 1,500. Ki and Kryza called before Zawadowicz made it 9,000. Penzersinski folded while the remaining players called to make a sizeable pot.

Zawadowicz bet 20,000 on the 5♠ turn. Morawiec called off his last 9,200. Ki also put in his last 6,200. Kryza called the original bet, leaving him 19,000 behind.

The 8♣ completed the board. Kryza open-folded his 9♥8♥ after facing a 10,000 river bet.

A series of cards then went on their back.

Junhyoung Ki: K♣10♣
Martin Morawiec: 10♦2♦
Pawel Zawadowicz: 7♥5♥

Morawiec had the winner, as his two pair was better than Zawadowicz's. Ki just had a pair of tens and was eliminated. Morawiec took the main pot while Zawadowicz received a small rebate from the side pot.
