Saliba Tries to Trap Semel

Kirk Brown

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

On a three-way flop of 2♣A♦J♠, Vivian Saliba checked to Jordan Semel, who then bet 2,400 and was called by one other player and Saliba.

On the turn J♣, Saliba checked to Semel again and he continued for another 5,500, which she called to see the 3♣ river.

Saliba checked once more to Semel who thought for a few seconds before he decided to check back. Saliba sighed and tabled A♥J♥4♥5♥ for a turned full house and Semel quickly mucked.

Trang Enters With a Bang; Dzivielevski on Fumes

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In three-way action to the 10♠3♦2♣ flop, it checked to Christopher Trang and he bet 5,000. Yuri Dzivielevski check-raised to 19,000 out of the blinds and Trang was the only caller.

Dzivielevski bet the 2♦ turn for 27,000 to earn a call and jammed the 5♥ river. Trang snap-called for the 90,000 he had behind and tabled his K♦10♦10♣8♠ for tens full. Dzivielevski had the K♠6♦5♦4♠ for a straight and saw his stack reduced to dust.

Hollink Eliminated by Reshetov

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

In an already big pot to the Q♣5♠4♥K♦ turn, Maksim Reshetov announced all-in and pushed forward his stack. Rob Hollink had around 90,000 behind and shrugged, then called it off.

Rob Hollink: Q♥J♥10♦9♣
Maksim Reshetov: A♠A♦Q♠4♦

Reshetov was ahead with queens and fours while Hollink had a lot of straight outs. However, the 2♥ river was a blank and that spelled the end for the Dutch veteran for the time being.

Sethi Jams Up His Stack

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : 400/800, 800 ante

On a completed board of 10♦9♠2♣J♥10♠, Yang Wang checked and Vidur Sethi pushed forward a large pile of chips for a pot-sized bet. That sent Wang into the tank and he eventually folded.

"That was not the deuce of hearts," Richard Gryko joked and Sethi replied "maybe we had the same hand" while raking in another large pot.
