Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Yaaqov Nezer opened the action to 1,000 and found two calls from Jerry Odeen and Steinar Utland.

The three went to the flop of 10♦K♠K♥ and Nezer continued for 900 with this time only Odeen making the call.

The turn card came 4♦ and a bet from Nezer to the tune of 5,500 again got the call from Odeen.

The river card double paired the board and was the 10♠ and Nezer led this time for 6,000 and covered his neck with his T-shirt. Odeen mumbled to himself and folded face up 4♠4♦ for his full house. Nezer showed Q♠5♦ for the bluff and took down the pot much to the amusement of Odeen.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Yevhen Dzhura opened to 800 from middle position, and was called by Luka Bojovic in the cutoff. However, Natan Chauskin three-bet to 3,800 from the button. Kayhan Mokri in the small blind wasn't done yet, as he four-bet to 9,500. Dzhura and Bojovic quickly folded, but Chauskin called.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♠8♣7♥, and Mokri continued with a small bet of 2,000. Chauskin called, then both of them checked on the turn K♠.

On the river Q♣, Mokri bet to force Chauskin to go all in, but saw his opponent snap-call for a little bit more than 18,000.

Natan Chauskin: A♣A♥
Kayhan Mokri: K♥K♣

Mokri hit a set on the turn, but Chauskin already had the best set on the flop to double up.

Demirbuken Gets Faked Out

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Cafer Demirbuken open-raised from early position before Bogdan Ciobanu went all in from the button for 6,100 chips. The action folded back to Demirbuken, who flicked in a call.

Bogdan Ciobanu: A♠6♠
Cafer Demirbuken: K♥Q♦

The flop of K♠6♣7♠ saw Demirbuken take the lead with a pair of kings, but the 10♠ turn locked up the pot for Ciobanu with a flush. The 9♣ river did not matter anymore, and Demirbuken gave the table a friendly knock.

However, when the pot was sent to Ciobanu, he shot up from his chair and told the dealer to wait. The table explained that Ciobanu had made a flush, something Demirbuken had not realized, and Demirburken conceded the pot and apologized for his reaction.
