Ponomarev Takes It on the Turn

Ollie Garland

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The pot had grown to around 45,000 with two players looking at a board of Q♣6♣J♥K♣.

Nikolay Ponomarev, in early position, bet out 35,000. Kreshnik Maloku, in the cutoff, went deep into the tank, eventually choosing to fold. Ponomarev claimed this pot with little resistance as his stack eclipsed the 300,000 chip mark.

Nikolay Ponomarev	330,000 330,000	330,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Matteo Cecchetti raised to 10,000 from the button, and Abdelhakim Zoufri responded with a three-bet to 45,000 from the big blind, leaving himself just 15,000 behind. Cecchetti called.

The flop came 7♦7♣2♣, and Zoufri checked. Cecchetti moved all in, and Zoufri snap-called.

Abdelhakim Zoufri: 9♥9♠ All in
Matteo Cecchetti: A♦8♥

Zoufri was in excellent shape and needed to dodge an ace to secure the double up. The turn 6♥ and river J♠ kept his pocket nines ahead, allowing him to climb back to an average stack.

Matteo Cecchetti	140,000 105,000	105,000
Abdelhakim Zoufri	130,000 95,000	95,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Martin Naveiro, in early position, moved all in for 1,000, Stefan Ionita, in middle position, put in a raise to 10,000, and Vincze Baranyi, on the button, three-bet to 45,000. Stefan folded.

Martin Naveiro: 8♥7♦ All in
Vincze Baranyi: 9♣9♠

Naveiro needed help, but the 3♣6♣3♥ flop provided no immediate solutions. Naveiro was dead on the J♣ turn and the 7♣ river sent him to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Stefan Ionita	118,000 104,500	104,500
Vincze Baranyi	100,000 25,000	25,000

Patrick Cole

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

Action was picked up with around 50,000 in the middle on the flop of Q♣5♠4♣. Nathan Slater checked from the big blind to Valeriano Moreno in the hijack. He checked back.

Slater then led for 18,000 on the 3♥ turn. Moreno called. On the 8♠ river, Slater went to put in a sizable bet but Moreno folded his hand with the chips barely on the felt.

Slater windmilled K♠6♦ across the table for the stone-cold bluff.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nathan Slater	150,000 59,600	59,600
Valeriano Moreno	75,000 75,000	75,000

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

Parker Talbot raised from middle position to 8,000 and Ruslan Zainullin on his direct left put out a three-bet of 20,000. When the action came back to Talbot, he pushed all his chips in the middle and Zainullin snap-called.

Parker Talbot: A♠A♣ All in
Ruslan Zainullin: K♦K♥

Talbot said that the trick is to ask for your opponents outs and he was asking for a king on every street and the trick worked as the dealer put out a full board of 5♣3♣8♦2♦6♥ and Talbot secured the double up.
