Badziakouski Shoves on River

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sam Grafton (small blind) checked the {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop and Mikita Badziakouski bet 20,000 into 62,000 from the cutoff. Grafton called and Badziakouski bet 90,000 on the {a-Spades} turn. Grafton called again.

The {3-Diamonds} river saw Grafton check to Badziakouski and he grabbed all but 1,000 from his stack, making it 222,500. Grafton burned a timebank but eventually gave up.

"It's hard when you don't have a straight," Grafton said.

Soyza Gets Big River Value

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was about 50,000 in the pot between Michael Soyza and Michael Addamo in a blinds battle, and the former check-called 25,000 on the {10-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{8-Spades} flop. The {2-Clubs} checked through, bringing an {8-Hearts}. Soyza used a time extension then bet big with 115,000. Addamo winced and used his own extension but called.

Soyza showed {k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} for trips.

Watson Takes From van Hoof

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jorryt van Hoof opened his button to 14,000 and Mike Watson called from the big blind. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop and Watson check-called 17,000 on the {3-Hearts} turn. Watson checked again on the {9-Clubs} river and van Hoof bet 27,000. Watson snap-called and van Hoof briefly exposed {a-}{q-} before Watson rolled over the best hand with {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}.

Eibinger Bet-Folds the Turn

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger opened under the gun and called a three-bet to 35,000 from Timothy Adams on his left. Eibinger check-called 29,000 on the {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and then came out betting with 43,000 on the {8-Clubs} turn. Adams used a time extension then put in 125,000, nearly enough to cover Eibinger, who folded right away.

Addamo Outflips Jetten

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Michael Addamo and Peter Jetten put their chips into the middle preflop with Jetten racing for his 139,500. Jetten opened {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} but he couldn't spike anything on the board and lost to Addamo's {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} on the {k-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} runout.

Wolff Can't Find a Fold

George Wolff
George Wolff

With about 105,000 in the middle and {j-Spades}{4-Spades}{q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} on the felt, Sam Grafton checked in the small blind and George Wolff bet 103,500 in the cutoff. Grafton used a time extension then jammed for about 150,000 more, barely covering Wolff. Wolff thought a bit then called, but his {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} was far inferior to {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the nuts.

Sam Greenwood's Check-Raise Fails

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of {q-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs}, Sam Greenwood checked from the big blind and Tsugunari Toma bet 16,000. Greenwood check-raised to 50,000 and Toma grabbed a pile of his chips and placed it in front of him. Greenwood folded, preserving his remaining 146,500.

Zhang Four-Bet Jams

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Michael Zhang made it 12,000 under the gun and George Wolff flatted on his button. Sam Grafton squeezed to 60,000 from the big blind and action stopped at Zhang who moved all in just before his allotted time expired. Wolff folded and Grafton did as well.

Toma Wins With Second Barrel

Level 7 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Tsugunari Toma made it 14,000 in the cutoff and Kahle Burns flatted on the button. Shan Huang came along from the big blind and they went three-way to the {9-Spades}{k-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop. Huang checked, Toma fired 20,500, Burns called and Huang folded. Toma continued barrelling on the {8-Hearts} turn, and his 40,000-bet convinced Burns to fold his beholdings.
