De Souza Jams Turn

Richard Hayes

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Yesset Aimukhanov opened to 4,000 from middle position and received a call from Fabian Gumz, before Belarmino De Souza produced a three-bet to 20,000 from the cutoff. Only Gumz called.

The Q♦10♠9♠ flop was checked through.

On the 2♦ turn, De Souza jammed with the covering stack when it was checked to him once more. Gumz looked suspicious, and took a time bank to think things through, before ultimately sending his cards to the muck.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aleksei Savenkov had defended from the big blind to an Alessandro Pichierri open from the hijack. The two players saw the dealer fan out a flop of 6♠5♦5♣, and Savenkov check-called a bet of 3,500 from Pichierri.

Both players checked the Q♦ turn for the A♣ to come on the river. Savenkov bet 2,000 and Pichierri reluctantly called.

Savenkov turned over K♠Q♠ for a pair of queens on the turn and Pichierri mucked his cards.

Patrick Leonard raised to 4,000 from the hijack and Jessica Teusl three-bet to 11,000 out of the cutoff. When it got back to Leonard, he called.

The flop came 9♣J♠8♠ and Leonard led out for 6,000, which Teusl called to the 3♣ turn, where Leonard checked, Teusl bet 25,000, and Leonard called.

On the J♦ river, Leonard checked, and Teusl thought for a while before she checked back. Leonard showed K♣8♣ for a pair of eights, but Teusl had aces with A♥A♦ to scoop the pot.

David Kaufmann: A♣5♠ All in
Garik Tamasian: K♥9♣

Kaufmann needed to fade a king or a nine to stay alive. The board of 5♥4♣3♠10♣8♥ was clean for Kaumann and he managed to double-up.
