Boika Lays the Perfect Trap

Tyler Foran

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Both Luis Faria on the button, and Aliaksei Boika put in 28,000 each to see the Q♠8♥2♦ flop, and Boika check-called a bet of 17,000.

The 5♠ hit the turn, and Boika check-called another bet of 28,000.

When the J♠ hit the river, Boika checked once more before Faria announced all in. Boika snap-called his stack of 62,000 to see the Kx10x of Faria and tabled A♠A♣ to collect the double.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vladimir Troyanovskiy had moved all in on a flop of 2♣8♥4♣ and been called by Luis Faria, with Troyanovskiy at risk.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy: A♣8♦
Luis Faria: J♦J♣

Troyanovskiy had top pair eights but was behind the overpair jacks of Faria, and he was up out of his seat when he saw his opponent's hand.

No help arrived on the 4♦J♥ runout, with Faria improving to a full house.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three players had gotten all of the chips in the middle before the flop, and Ricardo Caridade was at risk for 29,000, while Kartik Ved had about 65,000, and Ben Heath was looking for the double knockout.

Ricardo Caridade: K♦Q♠
Kartik Ved: A♠9♥
Ben Heath: A♦8♠

The Q♦9♠3♦ flop hit both Caridade and Ved, with Caridade taking the lead with a pair of queens. The 5♦ fell on the turn, giving Heath the nut-flush draw, and the 4♦ river completed his flush as both Ved and Caridade left the table.

Ehsan Amiri opened 6,000 under the gun and only Juan Pardo called on the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♥7♣3♣ and Amiri continued for 6,000. Pardo called.

The 3♠ fell on the turn and Amiri checked to Pardo, who fired a bet of 19,000. Amiri thought about it for about 20 seconds, then jammed all in. Pardo instantly pushed his cards into the muck.

Konnikova Doubles Through Weis

Richard Hayes

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

PokerStars Ambassador Maria Konnikova opened to 6,000, only to be faced with a three-bet to 16,000 by Oliver Weis. Pablo Silva then cold-called in the big blind. Konnikova also called.

On the 6♦10♥Q♦ flop action was checked to Weis, who put out a bet of 14,500. Silva folded but Konnikova check-raised all-in for 47,000. Weis didn't like it but made the call.

Maria Konnikova: 6♣6♥
Oliver Weis: K♦10♣

Konnikova was in great shape with a set of sixes against Weis' second pair and the 2♦A♠ runout did not change anything.
