Im Calls One Thousand

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a three-way pot on a board of {8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}, Ignacio Sole Aparicio checked and Jung Ho Im bet 1,800. The player in between folded and Aparicio called.

Aparicio checked again on the {9-Spades} turn and Im checked back. The river brought the {7-Diamonds} and Aparicio put out a single chip for a small bet of 1,000.

"One thousand?" Im asked with a laugh before making the call.

Aparicio showed {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a pair of tens, but it was no good against the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Im for a pair of aces.

Bystrovzorov's River Raise Results in Raking Pot

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After the action was checked through on a heads-up turn board of {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, the river came the {2-Hearts}.

Under-the-gun Christophe Pommier then decided to bet out 6,400 into 13,000, roughly a half-pot sizing.

But then after a few moments, Dmytro Bystrovzorov to his left in early position raised him to 30,000 and Pommier snap-folded, awarding the pot to Bystrovzorov.

Lovgren Doubles Florin

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Sofia Lovgren opened to 1,200 in middle position and two players flat-called before Elisei Florin three-bet to 7,000 on the button. Lovgren sat still in her chair before announcing a four-bet all in. The two players in between folded and Florin snap-called with 19,400.

"Do you have ace-king?" Lovgren asked her opponent.

Sofia Lovgren: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Elisei Florin: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Lovgren had the lower pair and the flop came {3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs} to give Florin a set. But Florin wasn't quite out of the woods as the {9-Clubs} on the turn gave Lovgren a lower set and a single out to quads, which didn't appear on the {4-Clubs} river.

The next hand, Lovgren opened to 1,200 and the action folded to Manuel Ohsea in the small blind, who three-bet jammed a stack of 11,300. Lovgren laid it down.

The river brought the {8-Diamonds} and Labat announced "all in" to put Bechard in with his stack of around 25,000. Bechard went in the tank for about a minute and folded.
