Samson Check-Raises Opponents

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Daniel Samson saw action folded to him in the hijack and opened to 300. Job Greben then three-bet to 800 from the cutoff to put action onto Klaus Schiefer, who was on the button and called. The players in the blinds folded and Samson threw in chips to call, taking action three ways to the streets.

The flop fell {q-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Samson checked. Greben threw out a continuation-bet of 1,200, and Schiefer thought for a bit before putting in chips to call. Samson then threw out a check-raise to 4,400, sending Greben into the tank for about a minute before folding. Schiefer then thought for close to the same time about his decision and ultimately sent his cards to the muck, resulting in the pot being sent Samson's way.

Douair Finds the Perfect River

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Abedel Douair and Boaz Madhala were heads-up in a pot with around 10,000 in the middle already. Douair was first to act and splashed in a bet of 22,000, nearly his entire stack. Madhala announced all in for not much more and Douair quickly called.

Madhala turned over {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for a full house, the second-best one at that. However, Douair tabled {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} for the best possible full house and eliminated Madhala in the process.

Ohana Wins With Turn Bet

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 500 and was three-bet to 1,300 by Shlomo Ohana, who was in the hijack. Anatoly Korochenskiy cold-called from the cutoff and action made its way back to the middle-position player, who called.

The flop came {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and action checked to Korochenskiy, who tossed out a bet of 1,000. The middle-position player check-raised to 4,300 and Ohana put out chips to call, prompting a fold from Korochenskiy.

Action was then heads up for the turn {2-Spades}, where the player in middle position slowed down and checked. Ohana fired out 5,500 and the player in middle position folded, earning him the pot.

Anton Shoves the River

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Roman Gadzhiev opened to 700 from the cutoff and was called by Ji Zhang, who was on the button, as well as Ionel Anton out of the small blind. The three saw a flop of {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and both Anton and Gadzhiev checked. Zhang fired out 1,200 and both players called.

All three players checked the turn {3-Diamonds}, bringing the river {2-Hearts}. Anton fired out 6,600, which appeared to be the last of his chips.

"All in?" asked the dealer?

"Yes," replied Anton. Gadzhiev and Zhang both folded without much thought and Anton took down the pot.

Guerrero Forced to Fold

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

There was around 12,000 in the middle and the dealer fanned the flop of {a-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Jimmy Guerrero led out for 4,500 from the small blind and Maxime Chilaud called from the cutoff.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and Guerrero fired out another bet of 7,000 which Chilaud still called. The river was the {7-Spades} and Guerrero opted to check this time. Chilaud thought for a minute before announcing all in, putting Guerrero to the test for his last 15,000 chips. Guerrero also took some time and muttered something in French before laying his hand down.

Havacs Four-Bets Preflop

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Zoltan Havacs was in early position and pumped it up to 800, getting calls from the player on his left as well as the hijack. Victor Weissman re-popped it to 4,700 from the cutoff and action made its way back to Havacs and he put out three blue T5,000 chips to four-bet to 15,000. The two callers quickly folded to put action back on Wessman.

"You have about 10 (thousand) left?" asked Wessman.

"Around (that)," replied Havacs with a hand gesture to confirm the ballpark figure. Wessman took a couple of seconds and then sent his cards to the muck.
