Kraous Doubles Back Through Joyce

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Anton Kraous
Anton Kraous

Anton Kraous shoved for his last 265,000 from the cutoff and it was folded to Philip Joyce in the big blind, who quickly stuck in a call after looking at his hole cards.

"We're probably flipping," Joyce said before both hands were revealed.

Anton Kraous: 7?7?All in
Philip Joyce: K?Q?

Joyce was correct, but the 2?6?10?3?6? runout came in Kraous' favor to award him the double up and leave Joyce as the short stack once again.

Oliver Weis

Georgios Tsouloftas A?K? opened to 120,000 from under the gun before Oliver Weis 4?4? made it 375,000 from the button. Tsouloftas four-bet to 950,000 and was called.

Tsouloftas paired up on the K?Q?J? flop, and checked. Weis fired out 650,000 and was called to swell the pot to 3,350,000.

The 5? turn gave Weis flush outs, and he sized up to 1,900,000 after Tsouloftas checked for a second time and then folded the better hand.

Weis tabled the bluff and took in the sizeable pot to take the chip lead.

Andrea Dato
Andrea Dato

Andrea Dato opened to 120,000 from under the gun and was called by Philip Joyce in the small blind for a heads-up pot.

Joyce checked to Dato, who continued for 120,000 on the 9?K?3? flop. Joyce then check-raised to 350,000 and Dato called.

The 2? fell on the turn and Joyce used up a time extension before announcing he was all-in, which was enough to put Dato all in for his last 1,080,000.

Dato asked for a count and stuck in a call to put himself at risk.

Andrea Dato: A?K?All in
Philip Joyce: K?Q?

Joyce found himself drawing to three outs and the 6? bricked to award Dato the double up while Joyce was left short with just 665,000.
