River Jam Works for Perez

Richard Hayes

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Picking the action up on a flop of Q♦J♥2♥ with 2,400 in the middle, Gheorghe-Radu Fedorca checked to Ignacio Perez, who put out a bet of 1,200.

On the 4♣ turn, Fedorca check-called a bet of 4,500 from Perez.

The 5♥ rolled off on the river, completing a potential flush, and Fedorca changed approach and led out with a bet of 3,700.

Perez pondered his options before reaching for chips and moving all in, leading Fedorca to let go of his hand in relatively short order.

Action checked through on the 8♦ turn and A♦ river. Johnson tabled A♠4♠, but it was no good against the 9♦8♣ of Levy for a baby flush and Levy was awarded the pot.

Drissi Turns Set

Richard Hayes

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Picking the action up on a flop of J♦A♣8♥ and with around 16,000 in the middle, Sofiane Drissi put out a bet of 5,100 from the button and got check-called by his opponent, Ignacio Perez, from the small blind.

On the 9♦ turn, action was checked to Drissi, who continued with a downsized bet of 5,300. Perez called.

The 4♠ turn was checked by both players.

Perez turned over A♥J♥ for top two pair and looked surprised when Drissi turned over 9♠9♣ for a turned set, allowing Drissi to scoop the pot.
