Aldemir Jams the River

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Koray Aldemir raised to 12,000 and then called a three-bet to 33,000 by the small blind. On a board of {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, the small blind fired three barrels and the last one was worth 90,000. Aldemir then moved all-in and sent his opponent into agony.

"I wish I wouldn't have bet ninety," the small blind sighed. Ultimately, the shove went through and Dietrich Fast walked over from another table. "One time, show it for the fans," he demanded. Aldemir offered to reveal one card and the {6-Clubs} was turned over.

Hartmann Runs Queens Into Aces

Patrick Keogan raised to 14,000 and instantly called the shove by Ryan Hartmann for around 120,000.

"Oh fuck sake. Queen one time, come on," Hartmann demanded. He picked up equity until the {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Spades} turn with the open-ended straight draw but bricked the {4-Hearts} on the river to bust before the money.

Chidwick Overbets Twice

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Stephen Chidwick was out of position in a heads-up pot on a board reading {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} with around 15,000 in the middle.

Both players checked on the flop and Chidwick led out with a bet of 30,000 on the {4-Spades} turn. His opponent called.

The {5-Clubs} on the river put a straight on the board and Chidwick took a minute before putting out a bet worth 200,000 with only about 75,000 in the pot. His opponent smiled and laughed as if to tell Chidwick "good bet" and let his hand go.

Matusow Calls Prydvor's River Bet

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Mike Matusow
Mike Matusow

With 65,000 in the pot and {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{8-Spades} on the board, Mike Matusow checked from early position and Denys Prydvor bet 16,000. Matusow called and the river was {j-Hearts}.

Matusow checked the river and quickly called when Prydvor fired 70,000. Prydvor turned over {k-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for the Broadway straight, while Matusow flashed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} as he tossed the losing hand into the muck.

"He was trying to bluff it off," Matusow said as he absorbed the disappointing results. "And he would've bluffed the river, too!"

Matusow quickly cooled down.

"Nice hand, Denys."

Lamb Run Out by Foutty

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

Steve Foutty limped in from under the gun and the action folded to Ben Lamb in the hijack who raised to 28,000. The button and the big blind both made the call and so did Foutty.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}, it was checked to Lamb who continued with a bet of 55,000 to which only the button folded while the big blind and Foutty came along.

The turn was the {2-Hearts}, the big blind checked again but Foutty fired a bet of 100,000 out. Lamb counted out his stack and then pushed the 108,000 he had in front of him over the line. The big blind quickly got out of the way before Foutty flicked in the chip for the call.

Ben Lamb: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Steve Foutty: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Lamb had flopped top pair but Foutty had turned the nut flush to leave Lamb drawing dead.

The river completed the board with the {6-Clubs} as a formality as Lamb made his way out of the tournament area.
