Guerra Gets Two to Fold

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Ruslan Volkov had open-raised preflop and was called by "Jay" in the hijack, who was on his eighth bullet of the day, and Lautaro Guerra on the button.

Volkov put in a continuation-bet of 35,000 on the Q♦6♠6♦ flop, seeing both opponents call. He sized up to 50,000 on the 5♦ turn, but neither player folded to the small increase as the 10♦ river completed the board.

Volkov slowed down and checked, after which "Jay" followed suit. Guerra cut out a bet of 175,000, to which Volkov and "Jay" quickly mucked.

Ertural continued with a pot-sized bet of 330,000. Kraft decided to fold but Guerra put Ertural all-in fro 435,000 in total. Ertural quickly called off what little he had left and the players showed down.

Frank Visser

Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

In a modest pot of 50,000, Ruslan Volkov checked to [Removed:490] on a completed board pf A♦4♦4♣2♠K♣.

Kraft bet 35,000, which Volvkov raised to 130,000.

"I don't think it's a bluff, but I have to call," Kraft claimed. He indeed tossed in a calling chip for Volkov to table A♥6♦4♠3♦ for fours full of aces.

Kraft claimed to muck pocket deuces for a lesser full house as he lost the pot to his neighbor.
