Nasty River Sends Lee to the Rail

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Hanseok Ko opened 1,800 in the cutoff and Hun Lee defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of K94, and Lee check-called a continuation bet of 1,600.

When the 2 fell on the turn, Lee check-raised all-in against the bet of 7,500 from Ko. Ko went deep into the tank. After two minutes had passed, Ko asked how much the bet was and the dealer let him know it was 19,300. A few more seconds went by before Ko splashed in the call.

Hun Lee: AJ
Hanseok Ko: 108

Both players had turned a flush draw but Lee was way ahead with his ace-high. The 8 river was a nasty one for Lee, though, as it paired Ko to send him to the rail.

Don't Clock Tammel

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

More than 20,000 was already in the middle as Tarmo Tammel and Dorian Dizy Machio went to the river on a board of A83K7. Machio, in the big blind, then led out for 22,000.

Tammel tanked for several minutes until Machio called the clock. Tammel then called before the countdown had even begun.

Machio turned over A8 for two pair, but Tammel had AK for a better two pair to win the pot.

"Don't call time," Tammel told Machio after the hand.

"Time," a tablemate then joked with him.

"Call," Tammel replied.

Galan's Hand Doesn't Work Out

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Dumitru Galan opened to 1,200 from the cutoff and action folded to Anton Yakuba in the big blind, who shoved for 15,500 total.

"This is my hand," Galan said as he pondered a call. "I'm sorry, this is my hand. Call."

Anton Yakuba: A8
Dumitru Galan: 65

Galan was drawing live, but the AA8 gave Yakuba a full house and left Galan drawing dead.

The 7 turn and 2 river were dealt as a formality and Yakuba said, "I forgive you," in jest as he collected the pot.
