Adams Queens Improve to a Set for the Double

Tyler Foran

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Marton Czuczor opened 1,200 under the gun and both Sirzat Hissou and Alexandre Vuilleumier made the call before Timothy Adams three-bet to 5,300. The action folded back to Czuczor who put in a four-bet to 13,200. Both Hissou and Vuilleumier got out of the way and Adams jammed for 29,500. Czuczor wasted no time making the call.

Timothy Adams: Q♦Q♣
Marton Czuczor: A♦K♥

The Q♥10♥3♣ flop gave Adams a set of queens, while Czuczoz flopped a gutshot straight draw. The 7♥ turn gave Czuczor more outs as he picked up a flush draw but the 9♦ river was a brick, sending the double to Adams.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Action was caught on a J♣8♥2♣4♦ board, with already a big pot and Thi Nguyen betting 23,300 from early position. In front of her, Roelof Pepping went deep in the tank on the button, but eventually called.

The 2♠ came on the river. After a few seconds, Nguyen moved all in for approximately 80,000. In the tank again, Roelof Pepping struggled to make a decision. He eventually folded.

Thanks to this hand, Nguyen became the chip leader with 190,000 chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With about 20,000 in the middle on the 10♦6♠4♥ flop, Thomas Boivin had a bet of 5,000 in front of him on the button and was faced with a raise of 11,300 from Arthur Conan. He eventually made the call.

The 5♠ fell on the turn, and Conan quickly check-called Boivin's all-in of 21,500, and both players revealed their cards.

Thomas Boivin: K♥K♣
Arthur Conan: A♠10♠

Boivin was in the lead with his pair of kings, but Conan had picked up a flush draw to go along with his pair of tens and the 7♠ river completed the flush. Boivin stood up and respectfully said good game while telling the table to have fun.

Level 4 : 200/500, 500 ante

Grigorii Rodin and Cristian David both put 4,600 in the middle and the flop came K♣6♥3♦.

Rodin check-called a bet of 4,500, and the 5♥ fell on the turn. Rodin checked once more before David dropped 40,000 across the line. Rodin thought about it for about 10 seconds before calling off his stack of 11,400.

Grigorii Rodin: K♠J♠
Cristian David: A♣Q♣

Rodin was way ahead with his top pair and was able to fade the ace as the 6♣ competed the board on the river.

At the same table, Evgenii Fidchuk is spinning up a stack.

Level 4 : 200/500, 500 ante

With about 3,500 in the middle on the A♦J♦10♦ flop, Mark Teltscher checked to Rania Nasreddine who fired a bet of 1,600. Teltscher called.

The 3♠ fell on the turn and Teltcher checked to Nasreddine as she continued for 4,000. Teltcher thought about it for a little more than 30 seconds as he used a time bank but ultimately decided to let it go.

Level 4 : 200/500, 500 ante

In early position, Marton Czuczor opened to 1,000 and was called by Sirzat Hissou in the hijack. But in the cutoff, Timothy Adams three-bet to 3,900. However, Czuczor and Hissou made the call.

On the flop 2♣A♥9♥, the two first players to act checked and let Adams bet 1,800. His two opponents called again, so he sized up to 5,800 on the turn 6♥. And this time, both Czuczor and Hissou folded.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The turn read 6♣6♠5♠10♣ and George Chiriac bet 12,000 into the pot of about 21,000. William Kassouf was the only other player in the pot and made the call.

When the Q♣ hit the river, Chiriac shoved for his last 23,900, putting Kassouf in the tank.

"It's aces or nothing," said Kassouf, as he thought out the hand. "I was going to raise the flop, you shove, I call."

After using three time banks, Kassouf eventually splashed in a call to see Chiriac's K♥K♦.

"Yep, that makes sense," Kassouf concluded as he paid off the bet and tabled K♠Q♠.
