Short-Stacked Walerstein Eliminated by Wu

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante
Yake Wu
Yake Wu

A player in middle position pumped it up to 800 and received a call from Yake Wu in the hijack. Erez Walerstein was on the button and called all in for his last 400 and the small blind called as well, taking postflop action three ways to a side pot for any further action.

All three players checked to the river on a runout of {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}, where Wu put out a bet of 1,000 once action checked to him. Both players with chips and cards in front of them folded and the dealer announced a showdown.

Erez Walerstein: {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Yake Wu: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}

Wu tabled his hand first upon his river bet receiving no action, and Walerstein turned his over in a frustrated manner, showing that the left him with the second-best hand and no further chips with which to play.

Lahav Takes Three-Way Pot

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

On the river of a board {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Jaromir Hanel in the small blind and Andre Moreira in the big blind both checked. The pot until then was some 10,000 and Doron Lahav made it 6,000 to go.

Hanel reluctantly folded and Moreira also gave it some thought before folding. Hanel immediately entered table chat with his neighbor Marek Sindelar, both players are close to the starting stack right now.

Isberg Wins with Flush

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Kyosti Isberg opened the action with a raise to 800 from under the gun and Julien Martini called on his direct left. Action folded around to the small blind, who called, as did the big blind to take postflop action four ways.

The flop came {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} and action checked to Martini, who put out a bet of 1,600. The small blind quickly folded to put action onto the big blind, who asked for confirmation of the amount and thought for a bit before calling. Isberg called quickly thereafter. Action then checked through the turn {8-Spades} and river {5-Hearts} to take the hand to showdown.

The big blind showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a flush with his seven playing. Isberg then showed {j-Spades}{10-Hearts} for a jack-high flush and Martini sent his cards to the muck, unable to top said flush as the pot was sent Isberg's way.

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

A player in middle position opened to 800 and Yaniv Peretz three-bet to 2,500 from the hijack. Action folded to the small blind, who thought for some time and then cold four-bet to 7,800. The original opener quickly folded.

Peretz then thought for less than 15 seconds before announcing he was all in. The small blind quickly sent his cards to the muck and Peretz took down the pot, adding a chunk to his stack without needing to see a flop to do so.

Serratore Finds a Double

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

There was about 3,500 in the middle on a board of {7-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} as Tommaso Serratore went all in over the top of a bet of 2,200 from the player on his right, who quickly tossed in another chip to call.

Tommaso Serratore: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Serratore was in prime shape to double with his set of nines to his opponent's top two pair as long as he could fade a king or running hearts. He would do just that as the turn {a-Diamonds} and river {a-Clubs} completed the runout, unnecessarily improving him to a full house, nines full of aces in the process. He pushed forward his stack, which the dealer totaled to be 7,500, and his opponent paid accordingly as the entire pot was shipped to Serratore as his reward for the double.
