Lococo Clicks Back Versus Check-Raise

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Alejandro "Papo MC" Lococo
Alejandro "Papo MC" Lococo

With 1,700 in the middle on the flop, Pieter Aerts checked to Alejandro Lococo who bet 600. Aerts then check-raised Lococo to 2,200.

Lococo came back with a min-click to 4,400. Aerts made the call and the duo saw the {j-Hearts} on the turn.

Both players now checked, but on the {9-Hearts} river, after Aerts checked, Lococo bombed the pot to the tune of 15,000.

Aerts used a pair of time banks before making the call.

Lococo showed {k-Spades}{7-Spades} for the bottom end of a straight. Aerts then turned over {10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for the same hand, a jack-high straight to chop the pot with the PokerStars Ambassador.

"Show Me Ace-Eight of Diamonds": Rheemstradamus Reads Sweeney's Hand

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Chino Rheem
Chino Rheem

Chino Rheem opened from middle position and both of the blinds called, including Ronan Sweeney in the small blind.

Both players checked on the flop of {a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Rheem bet. Only Sweeney called. Sweeney checked again on the {10-Clubs} turn and Rheem checked back.

The river brought the {k-Spades} and Sweeney led out for 1,800 into the pot of 5,500. Rheem then attempted to guess his opponent's holding.

"I need you to show me ace-eight of diamonds," he said as he tossed in a call with {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}.

Sweeney then held up his cards for the table to see and, incredibly, it was {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, precisely as Rheem had predicted down to the suits.

"I might have to call the floor after that one!" Sweeney laughed.

"You like that one, huh?" Rheem replied after raking in the pot. "It's the only hand I beat ... I gave you respect, I know it has to be suited when you call out of the small blind."

"You're like Daniel Negreanu!" someone at the table exclaimed.

Rheem Barrels Against Conan

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Chino Rheem opened to 700 in early position and Arthur Conan three-bet to 2,300 from the cutoff. Rheem responded with a four-bet to 7,000 and Conan called.

Conan checked on the flop of {2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Rheem bet 5,700. Conan called. Conan checked again on the {3-Diamonds} turn and Rheem bet 11,000. Conan used through one of his time banks and folded.

Abdolvand Wins Pot After Confusion Over Preflop Action

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

After Andrea Ricci raised to 800 in the cutoff, Dzhavad Abdolvand mistakenly put out one yellow T-1,000 chip and four T-100 chips for a total of 1,400.

Abdolvand had apparently intended to call, but the floor was called to clarify what the action should be declared as. It was ruled that because the amount of chips was greater than 50 percent of the original raise it would be deemed a minimum raise to 1,500.

With that cleared up, Ricci quickly called.

The flop came {2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Abdolvand led out for another 2,600, which Ricci called.

On the {2-Clubs} turn, Abdolvand now checked to Ricci, who bet 2,500. Abdolvand called.

The river came the {j-Spades} and both players checked.

Abdolvand showed {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a flopped pair of tens which held up as the winner.

Orpaz Gets Coolered, Wins Some Back

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Tom Orpaz
Tom Orpaz

Tom Orpaz was out of position in a heads-up pot against Dejan Kaladurdevic on a board of {2-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{q-Clubs}.

Orpaz checked and Kaladurdevic bet 18,000 to prompt a chorus of whines from his opponent.

"Ugh! Obviously, I can't beat a full house. I don't think I can fold here," the very talkative Orpaz told the table before ultimately calling.

"Full house," Kaladurdevic said as he showed {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for eights full of queens.

"Look at this shit!" Orpaz shouted as he showed the {k-Clubs} for a flush. "Unbelievable. Another cooler."

The next hand, Orpaz played a pot against Hirokazu Kobayashi and bet on the flop of {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}. Kobayashi called. Orpaz then moved all in on the {q-Spades} turn and Kobayashi called off with a short stack.

Tom Orpaz: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Hirokazu Kobayashi: {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Orpaz was ahead with a set and took down the pot to bust Kobayashi after the {2-Diamonds} river. But Orpaz' mind was still on the previous hand.

"Cooler after cooler! You're a coach, what did I do wrong in that hand?!" Orpaz asked table mate Faraz Jaka.
