Toma Wins Battle of the Blinds Versus Greenwood

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There was a pile of chips in the middle that looked to be over 100,000 from preflop action between Tsugunari Toma in the small blind and Sam Greenwood in the big blnd.

The dealer brought a flop of {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Toma checked over to Greenwood, who bet 25,000. Toma called. Both players then checked through the turn {3-Spades} and river {j-Hearts} to take the hand to showdown.

Toma showed {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for two pair, jacks and eights, and Greenwood sent his cards to the muck to result in Toma winning the pot.

A Spicy Board

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a three-bet pot, Viktor Katzenberger and Pavel Plesuv were heads-up on a flop of {q-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Katzenberger led out with a bet of 24,000 from the small blind and Plesuv called on the button.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and Katzenberger slid out another bet of 48,000. Plesuv still called and the {9-Spades} completed the board. Four cards to a straight flush didn't deter Katzenberger who made another bet of 56,000. Plesuv thought for a minute but threw his cards into the muck.

Speranza Gets Three Streets of Value

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Gianluca Speranza raised it up from under the gun and was called by Michael Soyza and Matthias Eibinger in the blinds. The flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and the action checked to Speranza who tossed in a bet but only Eibinger called.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and Eibinger check-called another bet of 24,000 from Speranza. The {7-Hearts} completed the board and Eibinger checked again. Speranza counted out a bet of 65,000 which put Eibinger in the tank. After three time extensions, Eibinger finally made the call. Speranza tabled {a-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for two pair and Eibinger mucked.

Khatri Nears a Quarter-Million

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Maxim Panyak opened to 8,000 from the hijack and action folded around to Bhavin Khatri, who defended his big blind. The flop came {a-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Khatri checked to Panyak, who made a continuation-bet of 10,500. Khatri called.

Both players checked the turn {7-Spades} and river {5-Spades} to take the hand to showdown, and Khatri tabled {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for aces up. Panyak was unable to beat it and sent his cards to the muck, resulting in the small pot going to Khatri, who now finds himself with just shy of a quarter-million after enjoying what has appeared to be a good last hour-plus of play for him.
