Gustavson's Value Raise

Josef Samanek raised to 65,000, Aaron Gustavson called and Michael Berry called in the big blind.

The flop was {10-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {2-Spades} and Berry fired out 50,000, Samanek called and Gustavson folded. Both checked the {K-Spades} turn before Berry fired 50,000 again on the {7-Diamonds} river. Gustavson raised to 150,000 and Berry quickly called. The Englishman mucked though, when Gustavson showed {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}

3-Betting 4-Fun

Aaron Gustavson raised to 60,000 but folds when Martin Gudvangen makes it 176,000.

Josef Samanek raised to 65,000 on the button but gives up to Ivo Donev's raise to 200,000 in the big blind.

Peter Eastgate raised to 66,000 and Aaron Gustavson made it 150,000. Eastgate called before the pair checked down the {3-Spades} {6-Spades} {A-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} board to river where Gustavson took it down with a 160,000 bet.

Donev Donates a Third of His Stack to Gudvangen

Here's some curious action for you.

Josef Samanek raised to 65,000 and Ivo Donev called on the button. Over to Martin Gudvangen, who made it 229,000. Samanek passed, but Donev now four-bet to 560,000. Gudvangen squinted for a moment, before looking straight at the dealer and telling him, "All in." A few moments' dwelling from Donev, and he folded.

Donev - down to 850,000
Gudvangen - our new chip leader on 2.525 million

Squeezy Does It for Cullen

Michael Berry raised to 75,000 under the gun and got calls from Ivo Donev in the cutoff and Rodrigo Caprioli on the button, before big blind Dominic Cullen made it 285,000 to go. Berry looked at him, then looked down at the pot. Eventually he sighed. "That's a big squeeze," he said. After a while he folded, and like very flat paper dominoes, Donev and Caprioli's cards followed Berry's into the muck.

Snapping With Ace-High

Dominic Cullen raised to 77,000 and Michael Berry makes the call.

{9-Hearts} {5-Spades} {8-Hearts}

Cullen bets 125,000 and Berry calls.

{5-Clubs}

Check....and check.

{8-Diamonds}

Cullen checks again, Berry furrowed his brow and then bet 125,000. Cullen immediately called and Berry showed {Q-?} {J-?}, Cullen flipped {A-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} to win the pot.
