Bottom Pair Good for Troyanovskiy

Calum Grant

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy opened to 13,000 from under the gun and was called by Motoyoshi Okamura from the big blind.

Okamura check-called for 15,000 on the K♠Q♣J♣ flop before the 5♦ turn checked through to the 3♣ river. Okamura led out for 50,000 and folded out Troyanovskiy.

The hand after, Okamura made it 13,000 from the small blind and now it was Troyanovskiy's turn to defend his big blind.

Okamura continued for 17,000 on the J♣9♦6♦ flop and called when Troyanovskiy made it 45,000. The 3♣ turn checked through to the 2♦ river. Okamura led out for 30,000 and was called.

Okamura had king-high with K♥7♣, while Troyanovskiy's 5♣2♣ meant he had the winner with just a pair of deuces.

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 13,000 under the gun before Ole Schemion three-bet to 36,000 next to act. Mokri then four-bet to 80,000, Schemion moved all in for 216,000, and Mokri snap-called.

Ole Schemion: A♠A♥
Kayhan Mokri: K♦K♠

"Welcome to the table," Mokri said upon seeing Schemion's aces. The flop came A♣8♥Q♣ and Schemion made top set, while Mokri was already drawing dead after the 3♠ turn. The river was the 10♥ and Schemion doubled up.

"You can't win today. You won all your pots yesterday," Schemion told Mokri after the hand.

Suzuki Runs Into Aces

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 13,000 under the gun, then called when Yuto Suzuki moved all in on the button for 60,000.

Yuto Suzuki: A♠Q♥
Laszlo Bujtas: A♦A♣

Suzuki picked up a straight draw heading to the river on a board of J♦J♠5♠10♦, but he missed the 9♦ river and became the first casualty of the day.

Bujtas then pointed out that Mokri didn't use the money he won in their bet yesterday to buy a sweater like he promised. "That's all you talked about for six hours yesterday and you forgot. Give me the money back," Bujtas joked.

"I didn't even think about it. I might have saved 2K," Mokri replied.

Dimitar Danchev opened to 13,000 from the hijack and Tamas Adamszki defended his big blind.

Adamszki check-called bets of 12,000 and 42,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read K♣Q♣10♦3♦2♦.

To Danchev's surprise, Adamszki had the winner after he tabled A♦J♦ for flopped Broadway which backdoored into the nut-flush.

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ole Schemion raised to 13,000 on the button and Gregoire Auzoux called in the small blind. Laszlo Bujtas then three-bet to 68,000 in the big blind. Schemion moved all in for around 420,000, Auzoux folded, but Bujtas snap-called.

Ole Schemion: 6♣6♦
Laszlo Bujtas: K♥K♣

Schemion was at risk against Bujtas' kings as the board ran out 10♣4♥4♣7♥2♦, ending his day despite his earlier double up.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy was moved to this table after Schemion's elimination and raised to 13,000 under the gun. Kayhan Mokri then three-bet to 40,000 in the hijack and Gregoire Auzoux four-bet to 85,000 in the cutoff.

Troyanovskiy folded, but Mokri then moved all in. Auzoux quickly folded.

"I just wanted to call 13. I can't call 40 so I had to four-bet," Auzoux said.

"I'm playing tight today. Only good hands," Mokri replied.

Mokri, Bujtas Build a Massive Pot Without a Pair

David Salituro

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Laszlo Bujtas raised to 13,000 in the hijack, Kayhan Mokri three-bet to 68,000 in the big blind, and Mokri called.

The flop came 3♠6♠6♣ and Mokri bet 70,000. Bujtas called and the A♣ fell on the turn.

Mokri then bet another 95,000 and Bujtas again called. The river was the 9♥ and Mokri slowed down and checked. Bujtas used up nearly his entire shot clock before checking behind.

Mokri showed 5♠4♠ for missed straight and flush draws, while Bujtas turned over K♠9♠ for his own flush draw that made two pair on the river as he took the big pot.

"Did you like the flop," Bujtas asked Mokri.

"Pretty happy about it," Mokri replied.
