“You Always Have It?”

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jean Tepper opened for 750 and found caller in small blind Albert Daher and big blind Ludovic Geilich. They saw a flop of {j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades} and when the blinds folded Tepper bet 2,500. Daher made the call and Geilich folded. The turn card was the {6-Spades} a check from Daher and Tepper kept the pressue on. He tried to bet 10,000 with two grey T5000 chips but one slipped from his grasp and it was ruled a string bet. 5,000 it was to Daher. “You always have it?” asked Daher. “I flopped and ace.” Said Tepper. Daher folded and Tepper showed him the {a-Clubs}. Daher showed him his own {a-Diamonds} so Tepper obliged and showed him the {k-Clubs}. Guess he does always have it. We’ll see.

Pronin Out, Yurasov Highly Amused.

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Sergey Pronin didn’t have much left, and what he had was over the line. Ihar Soika checked how much a player behind him was playing and then re-shoved hoping to isolate the all in player. It worked. Pronin had {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and was racing against the {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} of Soika. The cards ran out {3-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Pronin was out and a few more chips were added to Soika’s stack. Dmitry Yurasov, sat to his right was chuckling away telling PokerNews to write that it was a terrible call. He thought it was so funny he decided to play the next hand with Soika.

They got to a flop of {3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Spades} and Yurasov check called a bet of 1,150. They both checked the turn {3-Hearts}. When the river brought the {k-Spades} Yurasov splashed out a bet of 2,300 which was quickly called by Soika. Yurasov turned over {5-Spades}{3-Spades} for the flush which set off another bought of the giggles. Well he certainly seems to be enjoying it so far.
