Toderita Survives on the River

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Stefan Toderita moved all in for 210,000 on the button, Adrien Quetelart reshoved in the small blind, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Stefan Toderita: K♠8♣ All in
Adrien Quetelart: A♣Q♥

Quetelart remained in the lead through the turn on a board of 9♣3♥2♣J♣, but Toderita spiked the K♥ on the river to make top pair and double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Halil Tasyurek was in middle position and raised to 50,000. Chakib Mhiri defended his big blind and saw a flop of Q♦6♠K♥.

Mhiri checked, Tasyurek bet 85,000, and Mhiri called. The K♣ fell on the turn and was checked around. The 2♠ river then completed the board.

Mhiri checked again, after which Tasyurek bet 150,000. Mhiri raised to 400,000 and Tasyurek paid off.

Mhiri tabled K♦4♥ for trip kings, besting the A♥A♦ of Tasyurek, who was left with around ten big blinds.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Samuel Dray survived one all-in, but couldn't survive a second as he raised from the cutoff to 100,000, then called off his remaining few chips after Daniel Jackson shoved from the small blind.

Samuel Dray: A♠J♦ All in
Daniel Jackson: A♣K♥

The hand was as expected as the runout of 5♥2♠K♦4♣7♣ gave Jackson a pair of kings, which sent Dray to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened to 50,000 from the button and Eleftherios Sinnos defended his big blind.

Sinnos check-called for 40,000 on the K♦Q♠10♥ flop bringing in the K♥ turn. Sinnos check-raised to 175,000 over a bet of 75,000, and was called.

Mustafov had 175,000 behind going to the 3♥ river, and his stack went into the middle after Sinnos put the Bulgarian all-in.

Sinnos tabled J♣9♣ for a king-high straight and bested Mustafov's K♠6♣.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andrea Dato raised to 50,000 on the button and was called by Boris Tabiyev in the big blind

Dato continued for 35,000 on the Q♦9♦9♣ flop and was check-raised to 80,000. He put in the extra chips to see a turn of J♦. Tabiyev piled in 300,000 chips, over-betting the pot.

Dato moved in for 180,000 more and Tabiyev snap-called.

Andrea Dato: K♠10♦ All in
Boris Tabiyev: 9♠7♥

The 10♥ river did not improve Tabiyev's trips to a full house and Dato's straight doubled him up to stay in contention.
