With around 6,000 in the middle and the flop showing 3♥3♠6♣, Recep Aydemir bet 2,500 from under the gun and Thibaut Moussa called on the button. Fabrice Maltez check-raised to 11,800 from the big blind, which only Aydemir called.
When the dealer put out the Q♥ on the turn, Maltez shoved for Aydemir's remaining 14,000. Aydemir thought it over for a while before folding J♣J♠ face-up. Maltez showed 10♦6♦ for just a pair of sixes.
PokerStars listened to feedback from female poker players on how to draw women to the game, and now the poker site is responding.
The upcoming PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas festival will feature a $330 buy-in Women's Event on Nov. 5. Notably, the event has a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool attached.
Last year's NAPT Women's Event had a $360 price tag and drew 94 entrants for a prize pool of $28,200. That means PokerStars is expecting this year's event to be an even greater success.
The Women's Event will get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 5 and allows for unlimited reentry. The event will feature 30-minute levels and will see players starting with stacks of 30,000.
Level: 5
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 600
The players have been sent on a 20-minute break.
Akin Tuna opened the action with a raise to 1,000 from middle position, and Francisco Perez responded with a three-bet to 2,700 from the hijack. Nazar Buhaiov, sitting in the cutoff, wasn't done yet and fired a four-bet to 7,000. Perez was the only one to call.
On the 9♣5♥8♠ flop, after Perez checked, Buhaiov continued the pressure with an 8,000 bet, and Perez called after using one of his time bank cards.
The 4♠ turn brought more of the same. Perez checked, and Buhaiov upped the ante to 16,000. This time, Perez took his time, burning one time bank card before finally making the call.
With the 2♣ river, Perez checked once more, and Buhaiov, after using a time bank card himself, went all in, putting Perez at risk. Perez went deep into the tank, using his last three time bank cards as the dealer counted down. With no decision made, Perez was forced to fold, and Buhaiov scooped up the sizable pot.
Jacques Der Megreditchian was all-in for 9,200 from early position. Danyel Boyaciyan called on the button.
Jacques Der Megreditchian: A♥Q♠
Danyel Boyaciyan: 6♠6♣
Der Megreditchian hit a straight across the 9♣10♠5♣8♥J♣ runout to secure the double up. He couldn't continue to spin up the short stack and busted shortly afterwards.
Vladimir Korzinin raised to 2,000 under the gun and Hassan Nashar defended out of the big blind.
Nashar led out for 3,000 on the 4♣9♥5♠ flop and Korzinin called.
The J♥ came on the turn and Nashar bet again, this time for 5,000. Korzinin called.
After the dealer put out the 9♠ river, Nashar fired out a bet of 15,000. Korzinin quickly called and Nashar announced, "queen-high". Korzinin flipped over 8♦8♠ for a pair of eights and took down the pot.
Action was picked up with Marcelo Bonanata all-in and at risk from the button versus the covering stack of Antoine Saout.
Marcelo Bonanata: A♠J♦
Antoine Saout: Q♠Q♥
Saout flopped top set on Q♣6♣9♦. The 10♦ gave Bonanata a straight draw but the 9♥ river sent him to the rail.
