Holskyi Benefits From Calling Mistake at Lin's Expense

Dan O'Hair

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ren Lin opened to 5,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Konstantyn Holskyi in the small blind, who tossed in a call of the big blind. Holskyi then realized that Lin had raised and put in a call of the raise.

Both players checked on the 2♦3♦2♥ flop and then Lin called a 15,000 bet from Holskyi on the 10♥ turn.

The 10♣ completed the board and Holskyi bet 20,000. Lin called and Holskyi turned over 9♣2♣ with a sheepish grin.

"Nine deuce!?" an incredulous Lin said as he tossed his hand into the muck.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Marcelo Bonanata moved all in for his last 17,500 and was put at risk by Jan Eric Schwippert.

Marcelo Bonanata: K♦7♠ All in
Jan Eric Schwippert: 8♦8♣

Bonanata looked to be heading home after the 6♥10♠A♣ flop and was up on his feet in preparation for his departure. That was until a K♥ hit the turn, which paired his king and catapulted him into the lead. The 10♣ river changed nothing and Bonanata doubled up.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Since buying in, Aram Zobian has won pot after pot and was just seen raking in another.

A full board of 2♠J♦2♣3♥3♦ was showing with a lot of chips already in the middle when Vladas Tamasauskas was seen calling Zobian's river bet. Zobian showed Q♣Q♠ for a pair of queens, and Tamasauskas mucked.
