Table 9 Busy Early

David Sebesfi
David Sebesfi

Three players saw a flop of A64 and it checked to David Sebesfi who bet 10,000. Adrian Sportelli was the only caller.

The turn was the A and Sebesfi check-called 25,000 and the river was the K.

Sebesfi checked and Sportelli bet 75,000. Sebesfi then check-raised to 225,000.

"Ace-king or pocket kings," said Sportelli. "Would you bet ace-king on the river? Or would you check it to me?"

He continued the thinking out loud.

"Surely you wouldn't raise a flush on the river? Wow. Really? I'm not folding this hand bro."

Eventually Sportelli called and was shown the AK for a rivered full house by his opponent. Sportelli turned over 66 for an inferior full house.

"Genius" on Table 8

Action was on a Q84310 river with Michael Sleiman checking to Jim Pizanias who had bet 27,000.

Sleiman eventually called and Pizanias tabled A7 but Sleiman had that beat with 66

"Wow," said tablemate Hasan Onay. "We have a genius among us!"

"Good call," said Pizanias as Sleiman chipped up.

Tough Start According to Yazbeck

On a A92 flop, one player checked and Patrick Yazbeck bet 22,000. Victor Dai called and the third player folded.

The turn was the 6 and Yazbeck checked. Dai bet 22,000 and Yazbeck flipped his cards over.

"This is how my day is going," said Yazbeck, open-mucking KK.

"Show the bluff!" said Tolly Sakellariou to Dai.

"Never bluff," came the reply from Dai.
