Kitai Busts Moraes

[user229780]

Nível 13 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Davidi Kitai is in the midst of staging the mother of all comebacks and seems untouchable at the moment, a fact the Rafael Moraes has just discovered to his cost.

Pre-flop the action folded around to Kitai on the button and he moved all-in for 213,000. This bet has small blind Moraes covered and sends the Brazilian deep into the think tank.

With just seconds to spare on the shot clock Moraes decides to call it off and the cards go on their backs.

Davidi Kitai:
Rafael Moraes:

The flop came down an extremely one-sided to cheers from Kitai’s watching rail, leaving Moraes drawing to the deck’s two remaining sixes. Unfortunately for Moraes the turn and river were of no help whatsoever and he departed in 14th place.

Smith Loses Flip in Brutal Fashion to Bust

[user229780]

Nível 14 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Dvoress juiced it up to 40,000 from the hi-jack, only to see Dan Smith come over the top from the cutoff with a raise to 122,000 in total. Action folded around to Quan Zhou in the big blind who looked briefly interested but eventually decided against it and folded bringing the action back over to Dvoress, who wanted to know how much Smith was playing.

The two are fairly evenly stacked, though it looks like Dvoress had around maybe 50,000 more. That was enough leverage for Dvoress who moved all-in and Smith snap called.

Dan Smith:
Daniel Dvoress:

The race looked to be a one-sided one when the flop fell but the poker gods had other ideas, however. The turn gave Dvoress a faint glimmer of hope which turned into a blinding ray of light when the landed on the river to give him broadway.

Smith tapped the table as the stacks were counted down, but Dvoress had him covered and that was the end for the 2012 GPI Player of the Year and Smith departed in 13th place.

‘Lucky’ Jack Dodges Bullets for Double-up

[user229780]

Nível 16 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The first three hands at the final table were all decided pre-flop with no action before we got the first fireworks. The UK’s Jack Salter lit the blue touch paper with a middle position limp and the action folded around to Mikita Badziakouski in the cutoff, who popped it up to 100,000.

The table folded around to David Peters in the big blind, who asks how much both players have behind – Salter has around 650,000 and Badziakouski has around 1.9 million – and he made the call.

Salter then check-raised all-in and Badziakouski hit the think tank. It was all Hollywood though as he wanted Peters to call. Unfortunately this does not work out quite as planned.

Peters folded and Badziakouski rolled over .

“I wasn’t trying to slow roll you,” said Badziakouski, ‘I was just trying to get some more action.”

“Don’t worry, I’m pretty lucky,” quipped Salter turning over

This is evident as the flop came down to ‘oooohhhhs’ and ‘ahhhhhs’ from the watching rail.

The turn and river granted Salter the double and the chip lead while Badziakouski took a big hit.
