Everything Hunky-Dorey For Adeniya

Thanks to Arnaud Mattern, we learned that Martins Adeniya had three-bet William Dorey a moment ago, then fired on two streets before surrendering his bluff. Dorey won the pot with ace-high. Just moments later, we picked up the action as Adeniya was three-betting the Brit once again. This time, though, Dorey came back with a four-bet, and Adeniya called to see the flop.

Adeniya called bets on the {4-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} flop and the {K-Clubs} turn, and Dorey fired a final bullet after the {5-Hearts} river. It looked like 9,750, and Adeniya shoved in for about 12,000 on top. Dorey made the call, but his {A-Clubs} {A-Spades} were no good by that point. Adeniya tabled the {J-Clubs} {6-Clubs} for the flush, and he's doubled himself all the way up close to 70,000.

Horecki Given His Marcin Orders

Marcin Horecki

Not a happy start to the level for Marcin Horecki. The Team PokerStars Pro bet 10,000 on the river of a {4-Clubs}{a-Spades}{10-Spades}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs} board before Juan Jose Chavez messily moved all-in.

He covered the Pole who had 13,000 back, and he made the call all-in with {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a set. The Mexican tabled {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for a flop top pair that backed into the nut flush. Horecki wasn't happy about the situation but could do nothing more than leave.

Below are a couple more players that recently busted as well.

Niking Chips

In a multiway pot, it was checked to James Dempsey in the cutoff who fired a bet of 1,800 on the {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Dobromir Nikov was the only caller on the button to see the {7-Spades} on the turn. Dempsey bet 2,100 this time and Nikov made another fairly quick call before the {Q-Spades} came on the river.

Dempsey checked and Nikov checked behind, the Englishman showing {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} but he lost out to his opponent's {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Alvarado Under Ripe, Bluffed

JC Alvarado was just bluffed off a hand but still has more than his starting stack.

He opened to 300 from early position and Markus Lehner defended his big blind to see a {3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop. The Mexican c-bet for 650 and Lehner check-called before leading for 1,350 on the {10-Hearts} turn.

Alvarado thought about for a while and folded, only to be shown {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for a bluff by the cheeky German.

O'Dea Does What He Can

It was a limped pot that saw five players take a {Q-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {8-Spades}. The action checked all the way around to Eoghan O'Dea last to act, and he put out a smallish bet of 450. Two players folded, two players called, and it was three-handed to the turn. It brought the {7-Spades} and another bet from O'Dea — 1,300 this time. One player folded, one player called, and now it was heads-up to the last card, the {6-Diamonds}. When the first player checked, O'Dea checked it right back and showed down his {K-} {Q-}. It was no good, though, as Mr. Opponent rolled over {9-Spades} {10-Diamonds} for the nuts.

O'Dea did what he could, betting when he was in front and checking it back once his opponent caught up. Minimizing his losses, he's slipped back close to 23,000 now.

Invader Zim

EPT Loutraki winner Zimnan Ziyard fired out 1,775 on the river of a {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} in a three-way pot before the player to his left made it 3,600. The other player folded and Ziyard made the call, only to be shown {6-Spades}{5-Spades} for trips by his opponent. Ziyard drops to about 27,000 as a result.
