Abdulzahra's Small River Bet Takes Down the Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a flop of 225, Ricard Gonzalez bet 1,100 from the cutoff and Ram Vaswani called on the button. Ali Abdulzahra then raised to 3,500 from the big blind. Only Gonzalez called.

Abdulzahra led out for 4,000 on the K turn, which Gonzalez called.

The river came the A and after some thinking, Abdulzahra led out for just 3,500. Gonzalez also thought about his decision but ultimately let go of his hand.

A full board of 6107Q5 was already on board with around 7,000 chips in the pot when Gerard Rubiralta bet 5,500 on the river into Gary Fisher.

"Are you bluffing with the best hand or the worst hand?" remarked Fisher as he contemplated the decision.

"I'll show you one," replied Rubiralta.

"Ok, show me two," responded Fisher as he stuck in the call.

Rubiralta showed Q9 for a pair of queens, and Fisher flicked his cards back to the dealer.

Silva Makes Trips to Send Out Mikhael

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The flop read Q76, and Jean Mikhael checked to Giorgio Silva who put out a bet of 300 into the pot of 5,400. Mikhael had 4,000 total and after thinking for a few moments, he tossed it across the line. Silva wasted no time making the call and both hands were tabled.

Jean Mikhael: KJ All in
Giorgio Silva: KQ

Mikahel saw he was drawing thin against the top pair of SIlva as he stood up from the table. The dealer completed the board with the Q on the turn, and 4 on the river to give Silva trip queens.

Heidorn Makes Full House to Leave Makaci Short

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 41049 and Robert Heidorn checked. Franck Makaci bet 2,000 and Heidorn check-raised to 7,500, which Makaci called.

The turn was the 7 and Heidorn moved all in for 16,700.

"I think it's impossible for me to fold," said Makaci before putting his chips in the middle.

He showed A4 for trip fours and Heidorn turned over 1010 for a full house, tens full of fours to win the pot. He doubled up and Makaci was left short.

Makaci was down to only 1,300 chips, but managed to triple up the next hand to bring his stack to around 5,500.

Jorge Ramella
Jorge Ramella

Jorge Ramella opened to 800 from middle position and Shibo Yin three-bet to 2,500 from the hijack. Ramella called.

Ramella checked the Q49 flop and Yin bet 2,000. Ramella chose to check-raise to 5,300 which Yin called.

Upon seeing the Q appear on the turn, Ramella shoved for Yin's remaining 10,700. Yin went deep into the tank, thinking for almost two minutes. Ultimately, he flicked in the call and the cards were revealed.

Shibo Yin: KK All in
Jorge Ramella: AA

Ramella was ahead with his pocket aces and had to avoid a two-outer on the river. The 5 fell and Yin was sent to the rail at the hands of Ramella.
