Tavitian Shows the Bluff

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Pablo Alexander Tavitian, winner of the 2013 Latin American Poker Tour Chile event, raised to 3,300 from early-middle position. The small blind and big blind both made the call to see the flop come down {7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. Both blinds checked, and Tavitian bet 5,200. The small blind check-raised to 20,300, the big blind folded, then Tavitian made the call.

On the turn, an offsuit {8-} peeled off, and the small blind led for 20,500. Tavitian raised all in for effectively 75,000 or so, as the small blind had right around 55,000 behind. After tanking for three or four minutes, the small blind had the clock called on him. Time ran all the way down and then expired before the small blind acted, so his hand was then declared dead, and Tavitian was to be awarded the pot. Tavitian showed that he had the {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a bluff as he was pushed the pot. The small blind claimed to have folded the {4-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, although he didn't show his hand.

Did Fernandez Have It?

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

We happened upon a big pot in progress involving Michael Skender and Team PokerStars Pro Leo Fernandez. The former had 90,000 already out in front of him (there had obviously been prior action) and Fernandez had moved all in for about 50,000 more.

The board flop read {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and it was obviously Skender wasn't excited by his opponent's shove. Skender, who had about half his chips already in the pot, thought for a little over a minute before folding. Fernandez then showed just the {10-Clubs}.

Kim vs. Duta

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Brian Kim (Day 1b)
Brian Kim (Day 1b)

From middle position, Andreas Christoforou opened with a raise to 3,600. In the cutoff seat, Florian-Dimitrie Duta reraised to 8,500, and then action fell on Brian Kim on the button. Kim reraised to 14,600, and play folded back through the blinds and over to Christoforou. Christoforou looked a little pained with his decision, but eventually folded. Duta then called to see a flop.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Duta checked to Kim. With roughly 45,000 in his stack after four-betting preflop, Kim fired a bet of 8,400. Duta studied, then check-raised to 18,300. Kim snap-shoved, and Duta snap-folded, and just like that the hand was over.

Kim collected the pot and moved to 100,000 in chips, while Duta was kicked back to 246,000.
