Lunkin Up, Jaka Out

Webjoker

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

We just saw Vitaly Lunkin check-raise the turn from the under-the-gun plus one position. On the tabled we had | and Lunkin check-raised the 225 bet by the player on the button to 700. His opponent made the call after which they both checked the on the river. Lunkin tabled for the missed flush draw but he had hit his king on the river. That was good enoughm the player on the button mucked.

Faraz Jaka is nowhere to be found anymore. We don't know exactly what happened but he's on his way to another tournament here in Las Vegas.

[user250068]

Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

Matros, seeking a bracelet in his fourth consecutive WSOP, played his position perfectly when he and a middle position player called the 75 raise from the player under the gun.

The player UTG continued for 225 on a flop, the player to his direct left folded and Matros called. Both players checked the turn. The player UTG also checked the river, giving Matros the go ahead to take the pot with a 425 bet. His opponent folded and Matros was happy to add some chips to his stack.
