Preflop Frenzy Fizzles Out

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Youssef Mrizeq raised to 500 before Hala Karam called from the cutoff in the next seat over, but John Tabago made it 1,400 from the button and Razvan Belea wanted 3,100 from the big blind. Mrizeq got out of the way and Karam was right behind him into the muck. Tabago called and the action was heads up.

The flop was {8-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and Belea fired 3,100. Tabago thought it over but that was too much and he gave up the pot.

With 2,300 in the middle to the {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop, Lyudmil Ivanov made it 2,000 to go and was called by Luc Bindel. The {10-Clubs} followed on the turn on which Ivanov bet 4,500 and Bindel called once more.

Ivanov then also bet the {k-Diamonds} river for 10,500 which then saw Bindel shove for 22,400. The Bulgarian tanked for a long time and called with the {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} for bottom full house, which Bindel had beat holding the {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for queens over tens.
