Erceg Wins a Newsworthy Pot

David Salituro

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

PokerStars Ambassador and Silver Power Path winner Guillermo Sanz led out for 700 from the small blind on a flop of A♦3♠10♦ and Vladimir Erceg raised to 2,600 in the big blind.

Sanz called to see the A♠ turn, where Erceg bet another 4,000. Sanz folded this time.

The two players then introduced themselves to each other and shook hands. "I'm going to be in the news because I won a pot off you," Erceg said.

"It will be the last time," Sanz joked.

"First and last," Erceg added as he's already doubled his stack so far in the first level.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Malik Hebidi opened to 300 from under the gun and was called by David Antunes, Philippe Riminucci and David Stocker. Armand Matti was on the button and three-bet to 2,000. Hebidi was the only caller.

The Q♥7♦4♥ flop checked through to the 3♠ turn. Hebidi led out for 2,200 and was called.

The Q♠ river completed the board and Hebidi fired out another 3,000. After some thought, Matti called once more.

Hebidi sheepishly turned over 2♣2♥, but the lowest possible pair was good enough to win the pot as Matti mucked his cards.

Jozef Cibicek opened to 400 from the small blind and Power Path Qualifier Soraya Estrada called from the big blind.

Estrada called a bet of 400 on the A♥10♣10♠ flop before the 6♥ turn checked through to the 7♦ river. With 1,700 in the pot, Cibicek sized up to 4,100, more than double the size of the pot. Estrada mulled her options over briefly before deciding to fold.

Three players built a pot of more than 10,000 as they went to the river on a board of 9♦6♦5♠7♣8♠.

Abedel Douair then bet 7,000 from the cutoff and Jack Corrigan raised to 15,000 on the button. Abdelaziz Drias was in middle position and tanked for a minute before folding.

Douair also took several minutes once action went back on him before he joined Drias in the muck, allowing Corrigan to take down the big pot without a showdown.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was caught on the A♥7♦6♠ flop, with around 1,600 in the middle in a single raised pot.

Patrick Nataf checked before Ladislao Dalfo bet 600 from the hijack. Deborah Nizard made it 3,000 from the cutoff before Nataf three-bet to 7,600. Dalfo quickly called while Nizard folded after some thinking time.

Nataf then check-called for 5,000 on the 9♠ turn, which brought in the 7♥ river. Nataf moved all in for 15,000 and Dalfo called after some time in the tank.

Nataf tabled 7♠6♦ for a full house while Dalfo flashed his no good A♦Q♠.
