Cormier Busts to Quads

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Jeff Cormier

Thomas Pettersson picked up back-to-back kings and won both of them, doubling his stack through Oliver Heidel.

Then, Cosmin Joldis raised to 700 and Teunis Kooij called from one seat over, as did Pettersson. "Three in a row?" Jeff Cormier asked to Pettersson and announced all in soon after. Joldis asked for a count and reshoved to the 10,800 jam of Cormier, which forced out Kooij and Pettersson.

"You can't have black kings because I have one of them," Cormier joked and turned over {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}. Joldis rolled over {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and the flop fell {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}. "I am dead," Cormier sighed and added "I am so dead" on the {Q-Diamonds} turn when Joldis improved to quads, the {J-Spades} river was already a formality.

Soon after, Joldis got value from {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for top pair after his opponent in tzhe small blind check-called bets of 1,800 on the {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} turn and 3,400 on the {3-Hearts} river.

Pettersson Takes One Down

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Thomas Pettersson raised to 800 and was called by two opponents on the button and the big blind. The flop fell {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and the action checked to the Swede, who bet 1,250. Only the big blind called and checked again the {3-Spades} on the turn. Pettersson bet 3,500 with 2,500 behind and that was enough to win the pot.

Before the break, Patrick Schuhl doubled with {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} versus {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} after check-shoving a flop of {A-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} for his last 3,575 in a three-bet pot. The Frenchman got the {4-Clubs} turn and {8-Diamonds} river run out and never looked back after to build his stack further.

Value for Mathow

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
