Gilboa Outflops Krol, Back to Starting Stack

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Uri Gilboa
Uri Gilboa

Uri Gilboa opened to 800 from the hijack and Pasquale Braco made the call in the cutoff. Pawel Krol three-bet to 3,600 on the button. Only Gilboa made the call as Braco got out of the way.

The flop came out {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Gilboa checked, and Krol bet 6,500. Gilboa nearly beat him into the pot.

The turn completed the flush draw in the {4-Clubs} Gilboa checked. Krol eyed up his opponent's stack and decided to check behind.

The river came a fourth club, the {j-Clubs}, and both players checked through again.

Gilboa showed {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top pair that made a river flush, Krol showed {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, so Gilboa took it down to get back to starting stack.

Bohdanov Calls Correctly with a Mighty Pair

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Renat Bohdanov
Renat Bohdanov

On the river of a {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} board in the last hand before the break, Jan Bednar fired a bet worth 15,000 for most of his stack. That was roughly the size of the pot as bets of 3,700 had been pulled into the middle after preflop action already.

Renat Bohdanov mulled it over for a few seconds only and then called. Bednar exposed the {q-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for a busted gutshot and Bohdanov won the pot with the {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for nines and fours before they headed to the rail.

Langfeldt now checked and Ensan bet 5,600. The check-raise by Langfeldt for all his blue T-5,000 chips followed and Ensan folded the {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} face-up.

Juutilainen Calls 270 Percent Pot Bet Way Ahead

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Henri Juutilainen opened to 500 and got one caller before Michele Carbone three-bet to 2,700 from the big blind. Juutilainen made the call, and the field caller folded.

Heads-up to a flop, it came out {3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Carbone moved all in for 16,000, nearly three times the pot. Juutilainen called quickly.

Michele Carbone: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Henri Juutilainen: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Both players made a pair, but it was Juutilainen that was way ahead. The turn came the {9-Clubs}, giving Carbone a flush draw. The river was a {10-Spades}, though, and Juutilainen held on to win the large pot.
