Ramin Hajiyev told us in level one that he had tangled with Shaun Deeb. If I remember right the American three-bet with five-deuce and made a straight that bettered Hajiyev's set. The two have tangled again, with Deeb winning again.
Deeb opened to 450 from under the gun and was called by Kai Tapani Kumpulainen in the next seat before Hajiyev three-bet to 1,400 from the hijack. Both players called to the flop where the action was checked to the aggressor who continued for 2,500. Deeb called but Kumpulainen folded.
The turn was checked to the river where Deeb bet 20,000. It was enough to cover Hajiyev's remaining 18,500 stack and it was enough to make him fold after a few minutes.
Arash Moghaddam Maragheh may have been sat in the worst position in poker, the small blind, but he did not let that stop him from winning a pot that was contested four ways.
It was Luca Cainelli who started the preflop betting round off with a raise to 400 from the hijack and he was called by Michael Gross (cutoff), Maragheh in the small blind and Vladimir Geshkenbein (big blind). Geshkenbein had only looked at one of his cards but as the dealer was putting out the flop he removed the red 1,000 chip from the back of the unchecked card and took a peek.
None of the foursome wanted to take a stab at the pot and it was checked around but when the fell on the turn Maragheh fired a bet of 1,025. Geshkenbein instantly called but both Canellli and Gross folded. The river was the and Maragheh tapped the table and checked and former EPT Snowfest champion checked behind.
Will Molson has continued to build a stack under the lights of the secondary feature table. He was in a battle of the blinds with Alexander Jung and forced the German off his hand by the river.
We picked up the action on the turn where the board read . Jung checked from the small blind and called when Molson bet 1,600. The river came and Jung checked to face a 3,700 bet from the Canadian high roller. He tanked for a few minutes and conceded defeat with a fold.
