Shahar's Kings are Counterfeit; Strasser Shoves in Lengthy Pre-Flop Pot

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Ran Shahar
Ran Shahar

Ran Shahar raised to 34,000 in the small blind and Theodoor Woolschot called in the big blind.

The flop came all aces with AAA and both players checked. The last ace then fell on the A turn. "At least I know you don't have aces," Shahar said as he bet 20,000. Woolschot folded and Shahar showed KK as he took the pot.

At another table, Bogdan Roman raised to 25,000 under the gun as action folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind. He took nearly five minutes until another player called the clock. Kabrhel eventually folded, while Karl Strasser in the big blind also took several minutes.

The clock was again called and Strasser made a triangle to indicate he was all in. Action was back on Roman who tanked for more than a minute until folding as Strasser took the pot that lasted nearly 10 minutes without going to a flop.

Kropilak Three-Bet-Folds Preflop

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jacob Amsellem opened to 25,000 from early position and Arshavir Hakobyan called in the small blind before Jozef Kropilak squeezed to 72,000 from the big blind. Amsellem thought for a while then slid a huge stack of blue chips, worth 25,000 each, into the pot. Hakobyan quickly folded, and Kropilak went into the tank for his remaining stack of just over 200,000.

After around two minutes, Kropilak still hadn't made a decision so the floor were called to initiate a countdown. Not much layer, Kropilak folded, and Amsellem took the pot.
