Katz Doubles Through Addamo

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cary Katz raised to 25,000 and Michael Addamo defended to see a flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} on which he check-called a bet of 50,000. The {10-Clubs} turn was checked and the {9-Spades} fell on the river. Addamo checked again, Katz bet 125,000 and received a call from Addamo who won the pot with {j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} versus {6-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

Two hands later, Katz raised to 25,000 and Addamo three-bet to 100,000 to pick up a call by Katz. The {9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop brought a check by Addamo and Katz's bet of 75,000 was called. On the {k-Diamonds} turn both players checked and Katz jammed the {4-Hearts} river when Addamo checked to him.

Addamo asked for a count and the shove was for 460,000 total. After using his final time bank extension, Addamo called and knuckled the table when Katz turned over {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for top pair, as he only held the {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the second pair.

Huge Overbets Works for Addamo

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cary Katz raised to 30,000 and Michael Addamo made the call to see the {q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} flop. Both players checked and did so again after the {7-Diamonds} turn. The {a-Diamonds} fell on the river and Addamo check-raised big from 87,000 to 400,000. Katz had some 1.2 million behind and folded.

One hand later, Addamo limped in and Katz raised to 50,000, which Addamo called. The {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop brought a bet of 73,000 by Katz and a call from Addamo. No betting action took place on the {q-Clubs} turn and the {4-Hearts} river delivered a four-card flush.

Katz bet 25,000 and Addamo raised big once more, making it 480,000 to go. Katz called after brief consideration and was shown the nuts with {a-Hearts}{3-Spades} for Addamo, dropping to a major chip disadvantage.

Orpen Kisacikoglu Eliminated in 3rd Place (A$477,240)

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Blind on blind Orpen Kisacikoglu bet 12,000 on the {4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop and Michael Addamo called. The turn was the {k-Hearts} and Kisacikoglu used a time extension before checking.

Addamo bet 45,000 and Kisacikoglu called.

The {5-Spades} river checked to Addamo who moved all in. Kisacikoglu had around 150,000 behind and muttered something about six-seven (which would give Addamo a straight) before calling.

Addamo showed {q-Hearts}{3-Spades} and Kisacikoglu initially thought his hand was good before seeing that Addamo had three threes. Kisacikoglu showed {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for two pair and was eliminated in third place.

Kisacikoglu on 20 Big Blinds

Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised the button to 32,000 and was called by Cary Katz in the big blind. No action took place until the {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{j-Spades}{5-Hearts} river on which Katz bet 22,000 and Kisacikoglu folded.

Katz then raised to 25,000 out of the small blind and Kisacikoglu called in the big blind. The flop brought {q-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Kisacikoglu check-folded to a continuation bet.

Michael Addamo scooped the big blind and big blind ante of Katz twice with a raise to 48,000. Kisacikoglu then did so once from Addamo by open-jamming the small blind before a third raise to 48,000 by Addamo was three-bet to 150,000 by Katz. That ended the hand right there as Katz raked in the pot.
