Jaka Folds Jacks

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

We picked up the action on the turn with the board reading {4-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. Faraz Jaka checked from the big blind, and called Alexander Ivarsson's 310,000 cutoff bet. The {8-Diamonds} hit the river and Jaka checked again. Ivarsson moved in and Jaka, with 804,000 behind, went into the tank. He thought long (2 minutes and 49 seconds) and hard, but folded his hand in the end, showing {J-}{J-}.

Geissert King of the Hill

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Up at the feature table, Sam Greenwood raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and action folded to Bjorn Geissert, who three-bet to 125,000 from the big blind. Greenwood then four-bet all in and Geissert snap-called off for 481,000 total.

Geissert: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Greenwood: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Geissert was ahead and looking to dodge an ace, which is just what he did as the board ran out a clean {6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}.

Chemi Wins an Important One

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Ferdinand Le Pichon first won a pot from Kitty Kuo where he had {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} and got two streets (flop and river) value from Kuo on {K-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Those chips he lost again the next hand. He opened to 36,000 from the hijack and his neighbor Antonio Chemi made the call. Le Pichon fired 36,000 on the {A-Spades}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop and Chemi called. Both checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and Le Pichon bet another 72,000 on the {Q-Diamonds} river. Chemi tanked for a fair bit before calling. Ferdinand Le Pichon didn't show immediately, and Chemi took it down with the {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.
