Desset Heating Up

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Constantin Visan raised it in the hijack to 1,600. He was called by Sebastian Hoyos in the cutoff, before Andrej Desset reraised to 5,200 on the button. Hoyos folded, Visan made the call and it was heads up to the flop.

It came K♥4♦3♥, and both players checked.

Visan again checked the J♠ turn, but Desset turned up the aggression with a 7,200 bet, which was called.

The 8♠ hit on the river, and Visan checked for a third straight street. Desset made it 11,100, which was enough to get a quick fold out of the Romanian and scoop a large pot.

On the latest PokerNews Podcast, Chad Holloway and Connor Richards welcome Matt Hansen as a new co-host of the show. Matt has been doing a lot of work behind the scenes for PokerNews, and now we're putting a microphone in front of him to draw on his deep knowledge of the industry and get some of his hot takes.
That included his thoughts on the WSOP Paradise schedule, a poker player's yacht burning in the Mediterranean, and Ben Mintz returning to BarStool after Dave Portnoy bought back the company.
Chad then chats with this week's guest, Lukas "RobinPoker" Robinson, the new PokerNews Online Poker Ambassador. He talks about playing 1,000 hours of poker in 100 days, playing the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event alongside his father, and how listeners can have a chance at a $10,000 seat in December's World Poker Tour (WPT) World Championship at Wynn thanks to a special promotion in conjunction with WPT Global.

Listen to those stories and more on the latest episode of the PokerNews Podcast!

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Sebastian Hoyos raised to 1,200 in middle position. Both Arlid Haugland in the small blind and Sandro Sinopoli in the big blind called.

The flop came 6♥6♦5♣, and all three players checked.

Haugland then checked the 5♥ turn, before Sinopoli bet out 2,500. Hoyos folded and the Norwegian made the call.

Haugland led out on the 9♠ river for 11,100, which was enough to get Sinopoli to fold and take down the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a blind versus blind confrontation, there was 4,600 in the middle with two players looking at a board that read 7♦3♠Q♣.

Esteban Lapuente, in the small blind, bet out 2,000. Quentin Laugt in the big blind raised to 5,500, to which Lapuente called.

Lapuente played in flow on the 7♥. Laugt bet 6,000 and Lapuente called.

The 9♣ river checked to a showdown. Lapuente tabled A♦10♣ for just ace-high; good enough to see Laugt's cards into the muck.

Naarstad checked on the flop of 8♣3♣A♥ and Kassam continued for 3,500. Naarstad called. Naarstad checked again on the 6♠ turn and Kassam sized up to 8,000. Naarstad check-raised all in and Kassam quickly folded to hang onto his remaining 17,000.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Cedric Weinberg limped in from the small blind and Abel Martinez checked his option in the big.

Heads up to a flop that came A♠K♠4♣. Weinberg took the lead for 600 and Martinez made the call.

The Q♥ turned and Weinberg continued for an additional 1,400. Martinez was undeterred.

The 10♣ fell on the river and Weinberg bet 7,000, enough to put Martinez all in. Martinez remained in the tank for some time before calling off the bet for his tournament life.

Weinberg tabled J♣3♦ for the nut straight while Martinez was sent to the rail as he held A♣7♣.

"It's Never Easy"

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Liviu Scutaru found himself all in and at risk preflop for approximately 15,000 versus Farouk Ahmed.

Liviu Scutaru: A♦K♦
Farouk Ahmed: A♥8♥

Scutaru was in great shape to double up with a dominating ace but the 6♦9♥5♥ gave Ahmed many more outs in the form of a flush draw. The 10♦ turn and 10♠ river were blanks and Scutaru secured an important double up.

"It's never easy, is it?" joked one of Scutaru's tablemates as he scooped the pot.
