Landais Gets Wang to Call It Off

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ricky Landais
Ricky Landais

"I have to show, right?" Kaifan Wang said when he had called the all-in of Ricky Landais on the river of a A83JJ board and was shown the Q10 for a flush.

Wang sheepishly flashed his K2 towards the table and then headed one table over to talk with Tanupat Punjarojanakul.

"He is my coach," Wang said when Maurice Hawkins asked.

"He is your coach? I haven't seen him fold so you are also a crazy motherf**ker?" Hawkins joked.

Landais then filled in the dots of what had happened during the hand.

According to Landais, Wang had raised to 8,000 and he called on the button. They checked the flop and Wang's bet of 16,000 on the turn was called. Wang chipped down to a bet of 6,000 on the river and Landais contemplated his next move before he jammed.

While Wang was in the tank, he said "I only have king-high but really think I am good" after which Landais told his opponent he was gonna show if he folded. That's when Wang then called it off to be sent to the rail.

Ruane Picks Off Liberto

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Justin Liberto opened from the cutoff and was called by Sean Ruane in the small blind, as well as the big blind.

On the Q32 flop, Liberto continued for 6,000 and only Ruane check-called.

Ruane check-called another bet of 15,000 on the J.

On the 3 river, Ruane checked a final time to Liberto who bet 18,000. After a minute's tank, Ruane flicked in the call.

Justin Liberto: 76
Sean Ruane: 77

Liberto was bluffing with air while Ruane made the right call with sevens to drag the pot.

Vogdes Chops With Stolt

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the Q107K turn, Blake Vogdes and Arian Stolt invested 30,000 each before they headed to the J on the river.

Vogdes then bet 26,000 and Stolt raised to 52,000.

Vogdes vaulted out of his chair to check the board again carefully before he just called.

Stolt tabled the A9 and chopped with the AK of Vogdes. They both discussed after if any penalty would have been given since both had the effective nuts.

Early-Position Player: AJ All in
Big Blind: QQ All in
Michael Renna: KK

Renna turned over two kings and was a big favorite to bust both opponents. The 37368 board helped neither player, and Renna scooped in the pot for the double knockout.

Liubomyr Melnyk moved all in for 29,500 under the gun and Adam Kim called in the hijack.

Liubomyr Melnyk: A9 All in

The 854J3 board kept Kim in the lead with his king-kicker, and Melnyk was sent to the rail.

The next hand at this table, Daniel Lim raised to 6,000 under the gun and Po Ying three-bet to 18,500 in the small blind. Lim then moved all in for 40,500, and Ying called.

Daniel Lim: AQ All in
Po Ying: AK

Lim found himself dominated as the flop came 1064 to give him a flush draw. The turn was the 9, while the 9 river gave him a flush to earn the double up.

Stolt and Weng Slowplay Each Other

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Bin Weng
Bin Weng

Arian Stolt opened to 6,500 from the hijack before Bin Weng three-bet to 26,500 from the small blind. With the action back on Stolt, he attempted to four-bet to 40,000, but it was ruled that the minimum amount was 46,500, and Weng called.

On the 885 flop, Stolt continued for 20,000 before Weng check-raised to 62,500, and Stolt called, leaving himself around 60 percent pot behind.

The turn was the 10 as Weng announced all in as the covering stack, and Stolt snap-called off his roughly 135,000 stack.

Arian Stolt: A8 All in
Bin Weng: A8

Both players held the same hand and flopped trip eights. No flush was possible for either, and the pot was humorously chopped after the irrelevant 9 river.
