zedmaster84

Niveau 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

John Holley raised the pot to 180,000 and Hassan Kamel defended the big blind. On a flop of 6♦5♣4♣, Holley check-called for 150,000 and the K♦ turn was checked. Holley also checked the 7♦ river and Kamel bet the pot to force out Holley.

Kamel limped the next small blind and Anton Smirnov checked his option in the big blind. The 6♠4♥3♣ flop was checked by Kamel and he called a bet for 60,000. On the K♥ turn both checked and Kamel bet the 9♠ river for 300,000 to take it without resistance.

Dylan Weisman raised the pot and won the blinds and antes.

Kamel opened to 180,000 and Stephen Deutsch came along in the big blind. The 8♦6♦4♥ flop was checked by Deutsch, who then folded to Kamel's bet of 200,000.

The next open raise to 180,000 by the Aussie also went through as Weisman forfeited his big blind and big blind ante.

Weisman Doubles Through Deutsch

zedmaster84

Niveau 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

After some back and forth tussles with minor chip changes, Dylan Weisman raised the pot to 210,000 from under the gun and Stephen Deutsch three-bet the pot to 660,000 in the big blind. Weisman pushed all-in and Deutsch called.

Dylan Weisman: A♣A♥J♦10♥
Stephen Deutsch: K♦K♥4♣3♦

"No king please," Weisman said and started walking to his rail. When the K♣5♥3♠ flop brought the king, he instantly groaned a "fuck me". He didn't even realise at first that the J♥ turn and 6♥ river ensured the full double via running hearts, while Deutsch's low hopes had bricked.

Weisman instantly apologised as his stack of 1,060,000 was counted and paid for, leaving Deutsch short.

Deutsch Strikes Back

Niveau 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stephen Deutsch and Dylan Weisman tangled again, this time in a battle of the blinds. Deutsch raised in the small blind and called when Weisman moved all in from the big blind.

Stephen Deutsch: A♦9♥8♦7♣
Dylan Weisman: Q♣Q♥5♥3♥

Weisman's pair of queens remained ahead after the 3♠10♥6♠ flop, but the 9♦ turn delivered a straight for Deutsch. The 3♦ river completed the board, as Deutsch doubled back through Weisman.

Holley Wins One; Smirnov Chops With Deutsch

Niveau 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ryan Hoenig raised to 210,000 in the hijack and earned a call from John Holley in the small blind. They checked to the 8♠5♠4♦6♣6♦ river on which Holley bet 200,000 and Hoenig folded.

Hassan Kamel then raised to 180,000 in the cutoff and Anton Smirnov three-bet the pot to 510,000 with few chips behind. Stephen Deutsch moved all-in for around 1.2 million and Kamel asked for a count while Smirnov was briefly stunned.

"That's more than I expected," Kamel said and folded while Smirnov called it off.

Anton Smirnov: A♥K♦J♥3♣
Stephen Deutsch: A♦K♥K♠4♠

The 6♦6♠2♠ flop and 9♠ turn locked up the high portion for Deutsch. Smirnov needed a low card to escape and spiked the 4♦ river to chop with the nut low.

Holley checked the 2♣6♣7♥ flop and called when Deutsch continued for 100,000.

Both players checked the Q♥ turn, with Holley leading out on the J♥ river for the full pot. Deutsch mucked his hand as Holley added a pile of chips to his stack.

Holley Down to Fumes After Doubling Smirnov

zedmaster84

Niveau 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stephen Deutsch raised to 130,000 and John Holley let it ride with a pot-sized three-bet from the big blind. Deutsch started casual table chat with the jovial Holley and opted to "live another day" with a fold. Holley exposed the 9♥ which he declared as the key card, then stated he had AxAx2x9x.

One hand later, Holley limped in but instantly asked "how much can he make it", fully expecting a raise by Hassan Kamel.

"You know what it is," Kamel replied and potted to 240,000 for Holley to call. The 8♥5♥2♣ flop was check-called by Holley when Kamel continued for 200,000. Both checked the 9♠ turn and the 2♦ river saw Holley check again. Kamel bet the full pot for 960,000 and forced a fold.

In the very next hand, Holley raised to 200,000 on the button and Anton Smirnov potted to 600,000 from the big blind. Without any hesitation, Holley called and they headed to the Q♠10♠5♣ flop. Smirnov pushed forward 250,000 and left 25,000 behind, which Holley didn't see.

Holley instantly splashed in chips and exposed his cards, then turned them back over when it was pointed out. Hence, Holley only called and Smirnov checked the 3♥ turn.

"Wait, let me check my cards," Holley stated and checked it back to the 10♦ river.

Smirnov moved all-in and Holley called. "You win, but I can't fold the wrap," Holley said as he exposed his A♥K♣J♠5♠. Smirnov earned the full double with the A♠Q♦7♠3♦ to leave Holley on fumes.

Holley Doubles Through Deutsch

Niveau 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

John Holley raised to 280,000 under the gun, leaving just 50,000 chips behind. The action folded to Stephen Deutsch in the big blind, who made the call.

The rest of Holley's chips were at risk after the K♠8♥3♥ flop.

John Holley: A♥Q♥9♣2♣
Stephen Deutsch: A♦9♦7♠6♦

Holley was in great shape with a flush draw to go with a nut low draw, and the K♠ turn changed nothing. The J♥ river completed Holley's flush to earn the double up.

Stephen Deutsch Eliminated in 6th Place ($105,737)

zedmaster84

Niveau 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Hassan Kamel raised to 240,000 two hands in a row and Stephen Deutsch called the second time when he was in the big blind. On the 8♦6♠2♦ flop, Deutsch checked and folded when Kamel bet the pot.

One hand later, Deutsch got it in against Ryan Hoenig and they chopped it up. Fellow short stack John Holley went through the blinds as both Deutsch and Holley had a very similar short stack between five and six blinds.

Deutsch then potted to 280,000 and Kamel called in the small blind. Kamel bet the pot on the A♠9♦8♥ flop and Deutsch called for the fumes he had behind.

Stephen Deutsch: 10♦5♦3♥2♦
Hassan Kamel: A♣6♠6♥4♣

The J♣ turn and K♥ river were both high cards to entirely miss the low draw of Deutsch, who was ousted in sixth place for $105,737.

John Holley: 9♦7♣5♠5♦
Ryan Hoenig: K♠Q♠5♣2♥

Hoenig took the lead on the K♣J♦9♣ flop, but Holley found two pair on the 7♥ turn.
