Zima Bluff Catches Versus Yang

Richard Hayes

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

A monstrous pot of around 31,000 had already developed in a hand between Haiyang Yang under the gun and Grigory Zima in the next seat.

The completed board read J♦7♣5♦4♥8♣. Yang jammed for around 20,000, sending Zima, who had 15,100 behind, deep into the tank.

After around two minutes of thought, Zima made the call. Yang showed 10♦2♦ for the missed flopped flush draw, while Zima had J♠4♠ for the turned two pair, sending a full double-up to the Russian.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Wojciech Szczytkowski opened to 1,000 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 3,000 by Ignas Jasinevicius in the hijack. Muhtar Taysi cold-called in the cutoff, and Szczytkowski came along for the ride.

On the K♥6♦6♣ flop, action was checked to Jasinevicius, who slid out a bet of 2,200, which only Szczytkowski called.

The J♥ hit on the turn, and Szczytkowski check-called versus a bet of 5,800 from his opponent.

The 10♦ river completed the board and was checked through.

Szczytkowski showed K♦Q♣ for top pair kings, but it was no good versus Jasinevicius' A♦K♣, the ace kicker sending him the pot.

Alexander Neumann made it 1,000 to go from the hijack and Tonino Cardia called from the button before Gonzalo Pro made it 4,700 from the small blind. Neumann called, and Cardia folded.

On the 10♥7♠4♥ flop, Pro led out for 5,000, and Neumann made a quick call.

When the A♠ dropped on the turn, Pro fired again for 8,000, then Neumann put in the click to 17,500. It took just a few moments for Pro to fold, and Neumann was pushed the pot.
