Beresford Boats Up in Multiway All In

Patrick Cole

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up with the cards on their backs. Daisuke Ogita and Conor Beresford were all in and at risk versus the covering stack of Simon Higgins.

Daisuke Ogita: K♦10♦ All in
Conor Beresford: Q♦Q♥ All in
Simon Higgins: K♠K♣

Beresford was in bad shape but the 5♣5♥Q♠ flop left Higgins drawing slim. He couldn't find the case king across the 4♣ turn and A♥ river. Ogita was eliminated and Beresford took the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action folded around to Istvan Pilhofer who called in the small blind. Dohang Na checked his option in the big blind.

The 5♦9♥2♠ flop was checked around before Pilhofer check-called a bet of 2,500 on the K♣ turn. Pilhofer checked again on the J♦ turn, which prompted Na to bet 45,000, a considerable overbet. Pilhofer wasted no time in folding his hand.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

William Kassouf raised to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Jonas Hagstrom on the button and by the big blind.

Kassouf continued for 10,000 on the 10♠2♦J♦ flop, but only Hagstrom made the call. He fired a second barrel of 23,000 on the Q♦ turn, but this bet made Hagstrom fold.

"A pair?" Kassouf asked Hagstom, who confirmed. Kassouf then made him understand that he didn't have a flush, but that a pair wasn't enough to take the pot.

Jonas Hagstrom	140,000 13,500	13,500

Boutboul checked the 10♣10♥9♦ flop to Zizka who bet 10,000. Yaghmai folded and Boutboul called before checking the 6♥ turn. Zizka then put in his last 1,500 and Boutboul called.

Zdenek Zizka: 9♣8♣ All in
Bernard Boutboul: K♠Q♦

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Michel Molenaar in the cutoff opened to 3,000, but Yurii Zabrodotskyi on the button three-bet to 8,000. The blinds folded, and Molenaar called.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♦5♠4♣ where Zabrodotskyi bet 7,000. Molenaar check-called, and check-called again after Zabrodotskyi fire a second barrel of 26,000 on the Q♥ turn.

Molenaar quickly checked the 2♠ river. Zabrodotskyi eventually checked back, but didn't have a better hand than Molenaar's K♠J♠.
