Newey Check-Raises the River

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Paul Newey, who finished runner-up in this event back in 2014 for €557,090 and who final tabled both the HK$250,000 (2nd for HK$3,507,000/$452,171) and HK$500,000 (3rd for HK$3,208,000/$413,624) high rollers at last month's ACOP in Macau, opened to 2,500 under the gun.

Orpen Kisacikoglu, sitting right next to him, called.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Newey and Kisacikoglu both checked. The {K-Clubs} hit the turn and Newey checked again. Kisacikoglu bet 2,000 and Newey called.

With the {A-Clubs} completing the board, Newey checked for the third time. Kisacikoglu bet 5,500 and was soon facing a check-raise by Newey to 16,000. Kisacikoglu tanked for just a bit before he called.

Newey tabled {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} for runner-runner top two, but that hand was soon going face down into the muck as Kisacikoglu showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for the flopped set.

Isaac Haxton and Martin Kabrhel
Isaac Haxton and Martin Kabrhel

Action folded to Martin Kabrhel in the small blind and he limped in. Big blind Ike Haxton contemplated what to do for just a bit, before checking to see a free flop.

Kabrhel bet 1,500 on {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Haxton called. Kabrhel followed up his flop bet with a bet of 4,900 on the {K-Spades} turn. Again, Haxton called.

The {7-Clubs} completed the board and Kabrhel bet a hefty 21,900 into the 14,400 pot. Haxton pondered for some time before he eventually tossed in some T5,000 chips to call.

Kabrhel showed {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Haxton took it down with the {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Orpen Kisacikoglu
Orpen Kisacikoglu

Defending champion Steve O'Dwyer sat down not long ago and three-bet an open raise by Orpen Kisacikoglu, taking the pot when Kisacikoglu folded. Then, the duo clashed again. Kisacikoglu raised to 2,500 from the cutoff and O'Dwyer three-bet to 8,700 from one seat over on the button, Kisacikoglu called.

On the {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, Kisacikoglu checked and O'Dwyer continued for 14,000, which was called. After the {8-Diamonds} turn, Kisacikoglu then check-called a bet worth 29,000 before the {9-Clubs} slowed down both players and they checked. Kisacikoglu turned over the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and that won the pot.
