Roger Manoeuvres Brandon Off a Hand

Roger Hairabedian has closed the gap on on Brandon Cantu after winning a pot without showdown.

He called raise to 12,000 and treated a c-bet of 13,000 with a raise to 36,000. Cantu called and both players checked the turn to leave a final board of {9-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. At that juncture Hairabedian led out 50,000 and took the pot as Cantu folded.

Who's Got Game?

This level had been fairly slow so far until both players decided it was times to make some moves.

Brandon Cantu opened to 12,000 and faced a three-bet to 31,000 from Roger Hairabedian. He responded by four-betting to 100,000 only for Hairabedian to five-bet up to 231,000.

Swiftly Cantu announced he was all in. Hairabedian open folded {6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, maybe to show his opponent he had game. Cantu showed he had more game though as he tabled {q-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}!

Roger Pushes River

Roger Hairabedian opened to 12,000 from the button. Brandon Cantu three-bet to 37,000 and Hairabedian called.

The two players then checked all the way down to the river so the board read {6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Cantu checked one last time and Hairabedian pushed 55,000 into the middle.

Cantu hung his head into his hands and went into the tank for well over a minute before releasing his cards, thus awarding Hairabedian the pot.
