Adams Cannot Sell His Story to Wilf

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Saar Wilf
Saar Wilf

With a three-bet to 11,000 and a call already pulled in and no other action leading to the {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Clubs} river, Saar Wilf bet 9,500. Timothy Adams then raised to 35,000 and that immediately puzzled his opponent.

"What are you trying to sell?" Wilf asked with a smile on the face behind his shades. He then gave it some thought and eventually called.

Adams rolled over the {a-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Wilf earned the pot with the {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for a pair of fives.

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Brewer Bounces Back Further

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Just before the blinds had gone up, Mike Watson raised to 3,500 and earned a three-bet to 11,500 by Chris Brewer in the cutoff. Teun Mulder four-bet to 26,500 on the button and Watson folded while Brewer called.

The {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop was initially checked by Brewer and Mulder continued for 15,000. What followed was a check-min-raise to 30,000 by Brewer and Mulder folded after using almost his entire 30-second shot clock.

Timbus Takes From Heath

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ben Heath opened to 3,500 and was called by Cosmin Timbus on the button and Niklas Astedt in the big blind. The trio headed to the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop which brought no betting action. After the {6-Spades} appeared on the turn, the action checked to Heath and his bet worth 4,500 was called only by Timbus.

Fast forward to the {9-Hearts} river, Heath bet 22,500 and Timbus reluctantly called after using one time bank extension. Heath revealed the {2-Hearts}{2-Spades} for a pair of deuces, which Timbus had beat holding the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for two pair.
