Having an Off Day

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Natalie Hof
Natalie Hof

It's not been the best of times for Friend of PokerStars, Natalie Hof. She called a 3,200 bet on the turn of a {3-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board against Sotirios Koutoupas before checking the river to the Greek player.

Koutoupas appeared to have tapped the table and Hof turned over {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} but the former said, "No, no, no, I didn't check." However he relented and accepted that it looked as though he had. Koutoupas turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for a rivered set to pinch the pot on the river.

Chidwick Climbing

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Chidwick stares down Dayan
Chidwick stares down Dayan

A cursory glance at Stephen Chidwick's stack revealed that the EPT10 Prague third place finisher had a stack of some 57,000, almost double what it was previously. It turns out that just before the end of Level 2 he eliminated Nessim Alberto Dayan to climb to that height.

On the river of a {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board Chidwick set the the Panamanian in for 7,750 and Dayan called it off, Chidwick showed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for a full-house, whilst Dayan had {Q-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a strong but ultimately second best hand.

Yurasov Makes a Good Call

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Ekrem Sanioglu from Turkey, sporting a bright pink sweater, opened for 450 in the cut-off and faced a three-bet from Russia’s Dmitry Yurasov in the small blind. The big blind folded and Sanioglu made the call. A flop of {4-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades} saw Yurasov lead for 1,100 and get a call. They both checked the turn {j-Hearts} and Yurasov checked the river {k-Hearts}. Sanioglu bet out 1,625 and a smile spread across the Russian’s face. He spread the bet to check the count and threw out the call. Sanioglu turned over {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for bottom pair. Yurasov showed his read was right with his {8-Hearts}{8-Spades} getting a “Wow.” from his opponent.

A Round of Chip Counts

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Big Rog, Small Stack

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

France’s very own Roger Hairabedian, “Big Rog” to his friends, opened and was raised from the big blind by Chun Ho Law from the UK to 1,900. They say a flop of {j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Law checked to Hairabedian who bet 2,000. Law called and they say a turn card of {9-Diamonds} which again was checked to Hairabedian who bet a single T5000 chip. Law gave an inquisitive nod of his head and Hairabedian showed him his remaining chip stack of around 6,000. Law bet a stack of chips to cover that and Hairabedian threw his cards in the muck.

Woodcock the Victor

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

With the board reading {K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, Victor Choupeaux and Rob Woodcock both checked across to Dmitry Yurasov who bet 800. Choupeaux made the call but Woodcock came in for a check-raise to 3,200. Yurasov and Choupeaux both made the call to see the {6-Diamonds} on the turn, ostensibly a blank and Choupeaux checked to Woodcock.

The British player bet 8,500 this time with about 13,000 behind, Yurasov folded quickly but Choupeaux was a little more circumspect. Eventually though, he mucked as well.
