Iqbal Sent on a Long Walk to the Desk

David Salituro

Level 4 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Terence Jordon three-bet to 3,500 on the button and Majid Iqbal, playing the hand standing up from his seat, called in the cutoff.

The flop came K♣3♥J♣ and Jordon continued for 3,000. Iqbal then raised to 17,000 and Jordon called.

Iqbal only had around 1,000 left and put it in before the turn was revealed. "Got a flush draw, do you?" Jordon said as he called.

"Yes I do," Iqbal replied, revealing A♣3♣. Jordon had Q♠J♦ for a pair of jacks and held on through the 9♦ turn and 10♥ river to score the knockout.

"The only bad thing about that is I have to go downstairs then come back up here," Iqbal said as he went off to reenter.

"Do you want me to do it for you?" John Clements called over from another table.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

William Henderson bet 1,600 from the big blind on a board of 5♥8♦2♥3♦ and Tom Gill called under the gun, as did David Docherty on the button.

The river was the 10♥ and Henderson bet 4,000. Gill then moved all in for 21,000, Docherty folded, while Henderson called to put Gill at risk.

Gill showed A♥4♥ for the nut flush and Henderson flashed J♥7♥ for a smaller flush. "I should've folded," Henderson lamented as the pot was pushed to Gill.

Lucia Navarro and Steven Lewzey built a pot of around 10,000 in a blind versus blind battle as they headed to the turn on a board of 10♥K♠4♠K♦. Lewzey then bet 4,000 and Navarro called.

Navarro showed A♠K♥ for trip kings and Lewzey tossed 10♣9♣ into the muck before heading for the exit.

Maogen Fu, who won the High Roller event yesterday, recently took his seat at this table.

Bogdan Pop raised to 1,000 under the gun and Marius Varanavicius called in early position. Ricardo Mateus then moved all in for 3,500 in the hijack and Stewart Davie called on the button, as did Pop and Varanavicius.

All three players checked down the Q♦6♣A♥2♥8♣ board. Varanavicius showed first and turned over 7♦7♥.

"Okay, so far I'm good," Mateus said.

"I have a queen," Pop added.

"Which queen?" Mateus asked, and Pop showed Q♠10♠. Mateus, though, had K♦Q♣ and won the pot with his king-kicker to quadruple up.

Level 7 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Marius Varanavicius was on the button with a raise of 5,500 in front of him before Stewart Davie reraised to 16,000 in early position. Varanavicius called and they saw a flop of K♣J♦9♣.

Davie then moved all in for 32,000 and Varanavicius confirmed the amount before calling, creating a pot worth nearly 100,000.

Stewart Davie: Q♠Q♦ All in
Marius Varanavicius: A♠A♣

Varanavicius was ahead with his aces and poised for the massive knockout as the J♥ fell on the turn. The river, though, was the 10♦ and Davie improved to a straight for a miraculous double up that puts him among the biggest stacks in the room.

Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Maogen Fu raised to 2,000 on the button, Jonathan Bannerman three-bet to 8,500 in the small blind, and Fu called.

Bannerman continued for 5,000 on the Q♥4♦6♣ flop and Fu called. The turn was the 3♣ and Bannerman bet another 8,000.

Fu again called to see the J♣ river, where Bannerman moved all in for 20,100. Fu quickly called.

"I've got tens," Bannerman said, already knowing he was beat and getting up from his seat. Fu, the High Roller champion from earlier this series, confirmed his suspicions by turning over Q♠9♠ for top pair, while the dealer exposed Bannerman's 10♠10♦ as he made his exit from the table.
