Computer Says Fold

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Dutch online phoneme, Johan van Til, is down to fumes after betting a large proportion of his stack and folding.

He opened to 1,200 from the cut-off and Phillip Mighall defended his big blind to head to a {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. Van Til continued for 1,200 and was called. On the {j-Clubs} turn Mighall check-raised his opponent's 1,500 bet all in for an effective 5,625.

Van Til sat and thought through all his options as his computer-like brain figured out the optimal move. His decided it was a fold.

Small One For Charania

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

A middle position player opened to 1,300 and Mohsin Charania called out of the big blind. The flop brought {3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and both players tapped the table.

Fourth street brought the {K-Clubs} and once again they both opted to check their options. This allowed the board to be completed with the {8-Spades}. Charania decided to fire a bet of 1,550 on this street. His opponent shrugged and tossed in calling chips.

Charnia rolled over {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for top pair and his opponent mucked his cards. With this pickup, Charania is sitting on about 72,000 in chips.

Charania's Bluff Fails

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Bjorn Geissert opened to 1,200 and received three callers including Moshin Charania.

The flop came {2-Spades}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs} and all four players checked their option to see the {4-Hearts} come on fourth street. Three more checks over to Charania prompted a bet of 2,500. The next two players to act folded but Geissert stuck around. The river was the {9-Hearts} and Giessert checked once more. Charania bet 4,700 and Giessert called.

Charania tabled {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for nothing and Geissert showed {k-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a pair of jacks and the best hand.

Tobias Reinkemeier

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Tobias Reinkemeier is edging back towards his starting stack after doubling up through Michael Rocco.

Three players took to a {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop where the action checked around to Reinkemeier on the button who bet 1,700. The small blind folded but Rocco raised to 6,000. Call.

The turn came {4-Diamonds} and Rocco bet 5,000 and called when the German player moved all in for 10,000.

Roco opened {j-Spades}{10-Hearts} but was drawing to a chop as Reinkemeier opened {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for the nuts. The {7-Spades} river was a brick.

Grinding

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Campan Cristian Marius opened to 1,300 from early position, Manuel Mondejar Jimenez three-bet to 3,200 on his direct left, and Michael Mizrachi cold-called in the small blind. Marius called as well, and the flop came {5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Mizrachi and Marius checked, Jimenez continued for 4,750, and only Mizrachi called.

Both players knuckled when the {4-Diamonds} turned, and The Grinder checked a third time when the {2-Spades} completed the board. Jimenez fired 7,325, and Mizrachi tanked for more than a minute before calling.

Jiminez tabled {10-Spades}{9-Clubs} for ten-high, and it was no good against Mizrachi's {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}.
