Pavlicevic Keeps On Betting

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Quan Zhou raised to 400 from under the gun and action folded to Nenad Pavlicevic in the cutoff who three-bet to 1,200. The rest of the table folded for action to be back on Zhou who made the call.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Zhou check-called the 1,500 continuation-bet of Pavlicevic.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and now Zhou check-called the 2,000 bet of Pavlicevic.

The river completed the board with the {2-Diamonds}, Zhou checked for the last time and Pavlicevic fired a bet of 6,000 over the line. Zhou tanked, looked at Pavlicevic and the board several times while the latter looked away. After a while, Zhou opted to fold.

Macdonald Fires The River

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

A bigger pot of 8,500 was already brewing as the completed board showed {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Kevin Macdonald in the small blind made it 6,500 to go. Paul Kristoffersson on the button was his sole remaining opponent and eventually folded.

Are you from Sweden? Macdonald asked and his opponent nodded, then asked back "and you are from Canada?" Macdonald, who was sporting a cap with a big Canada logo on it smirked and said "we are both very observant."

Karakousis Flushes Gulseven

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Joining the action on the {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{a-Spades} turn, Erdal Gulseven in the cutoff check-raised from 5,000 to 13,000 with some 2,000 behind and Georgios Karakousis tossed in a single T-500 chip thinking it was an all-in. Once the dealer confirmed it was not, he just called and then snap-called the all-in after the {7-Clubs} river.

Gulseven tabled the {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a straight and Karakousis had {7-Spades}{4-Spades} for the flush.

Fontaine The Chips Machine

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Jean-René Fontaine
Jean-René Fontaine

Four players invested 500 chips each to see the {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop on which Youssaffi Khalil in the small blind, Giuseppe Carbone in early position and Alexander Orlov all checked. Jean-René Fontaine bet 1,600 and Khalil was the only caller.

After the {5-Diamonds} turn, Khalil checked once more and Fontaine bet 3,300 to force a fold.

"You are a chip machine," Carbone said to Fontaine who dragged in the pot and boosted his stack. Fontaine mentioned in table chat he had ace-king.

Martini Doubles Up

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante
Julien Martini
Julien Martini

Julien Martini had doubled up earlier today and was kind enough to relay what had happened during the 100/100 level:

The middle position had opened, Steven Houghland in the cutoff three-bet to 800 and Martini was the only one to make the call on the button with {k-Spades}{j-Spades}. Houghland held {7-Spades}{5-Spades}.

The flop came {a-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}, Houghland continued with a bet of 3,000 which Martini called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Martini called another bet of 8,000.

The river completed the board with the {2-Diamonds}, Martini now shoved for 15,000 when Houghland checked and got paid with the nut flush.
