Catela Takes Another Hit

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The stack of Jose Catela has been swinging up and down throughout the day and he just suffered another setback.

On a heads-up flop of 4♦3♣2♥, the big blind check-called a bet worth 15,000 by Catela. Both checked down the 5♣ turn and K♦ as Catela was shown the 5♥4♣ for two pair. That was good enough to win the pot since Catela sent his cards into the muck.

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Max Kruse recalled a fortunate triple up when he had a very short stack earlier on but one of the players involved then finished him off. Kruse was at risk for around seven blinds with the A♥10♠ and Lucien Silveira looked him up with the K♦6♠.

The board ran out 8♥7♦6♦J♣5♣ and the pair of sixes for Silveira dealt the final blow.

Livello 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Down to just 45,000 in chips, James Tilton got it in with the K♠10♠. He was looked up by Niall Farrell with the A♣Q♠ and spiked an open-ender on the Q♦J♥6♦ flop. Nothing changed with the J♦ turn but the A♠ on the river improved Tilton to broadway.

Koller Wins Battle of Flushes

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

WSOP bracelet winner Ran Koller was in early position when a player under the gun raised 9,000.

Koller, one of the shortest stacks at his table, moved all in for his remaining 46,000. Action quickly folded to the original raiser, who counted out chips and made the call.

Koller: K♣Q♣
Opponent: 9♣8♣

The dealer placed 7♣5♣A♦ on the flop, giving both players a flush draw. Koller’s opponent was drawing to an inferior flush, but he picked up a gut-shot straight draw, including a straight flush draw.

The 2♠ on the turn didn’t alter the hand trajectory. While the J♣ on the river gave both players a flush, Koller’s hand dominated his opponent.

Catela Triples Up with Aces

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in early position moved all in for his remaining 27,000, and then the hand got interesting between the blinds after action folded to them.

The player in the small blind flatted before leaning forward to look at Jose Catela, who was in the big blind. Catela was deliberate, taking at least 30 seconds before announcing an all-in bet for his remaining 86,000. The player in the small blind, who had both players covered, immediately called.

Catela: A♠A♣
Player in small blind: J♠J♠
First all-in player: K♦10♠

The dealer ran out 8♦3♦7♥Q♠5♣, giving Catela the main pot of 84,000, and the side pot, which totaled 118,000.

More for DeVore

Livello 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

The cards were exposed already as the all-in of Sundiata DeVore was counted to be for 92,000, which his opponent Scott Eskenazi had to pay off.

DeVore's K♦Q♠ was good for top pair on the K♣6♣2♥10♥6♦ board and Eskenazi missed a straight and flush draw with the A♣Q♣ to take a hit to their stack.
