Leow Claims Some Chips Back

Level 2 : 100/300, 300 ante

Ivan Leow raised to 1,000 from the small blind and Jean-Noel Thorel defended his big blind.

They both checked through the {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts} on the flop to the {6-Clubs} on the turn. Leow quickly bet 4,000 and Thorel called just as quick.

They then both checked again when the {10-Diamonds} came on the river for Leow to pick up the pot with {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for the flopped pair of nines.

Roman Emelyanov
Roman Emelyanov

Roman Emelyanov had almost 3 times the starting stack but just handed some back to Steve O'Dwyer.

Emelyanov had raised from the early position and was called by Jean-Noel-Thorel on the button but Steve O'Dwyer three-bet in the small blind. Emelyanov was the only one to make the call.

They both checked through the {7-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades} on the flop and the {q-Diamonds} on the turn to the {j-Diamonds} on the river. O'Dwyer now bet 5,000 and Emelyanov folded after glancing at his cards one more time.

Foxen Takes From Badziakouski

Level 1 : 100/200, 200 ante
Mikita Badziakouski - Alex Foxen
Mikita Badziakouski - Alex Foxen

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 600 from the cutoff and was called by Alex Foxen on the button and Roman Emelyanov in the big blind.

The flop came {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{a-Hearts}, Emelyanov check-folded to Badziakouski's continuation-bet of 500 which Foxen did call.

The turn was the {q-Hearts}, Badziakouski barreled another bet over the line, now for 2,300. Foxen raised to 7,400 and Badziakouski made the call.

The {8-Hearts} completed the board on the river and now Badziakouski decided to slow down and check. Foxen took some time and then bet 19,100 which sent Badziakouski into the tank.

After taking his sunglasses off, Badziakouski asked the dealer: "how many time banks do I have?"

As he had only just sat down, he hadn't received them yet. Haxton was kind enough to lend him his for now. The floor came over and gave 6 time bank cards to Haxton as a replacement.

After using 3 time bank cards, Badziakouski opted to fold.
