Gouges Gets Value From Schram

Kai Cocklin

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Robert Schram raised from the hijack to 800 and Clement Gouges called in the big blind.

On the K♣8♥6♠ flop, Gouges check-called a bet of 1,000 from Schram to see the 5♣ turn, which went check-check.

A 5♦ paired the board on the river and Gouges led out for 1,800. Schram thought it over for a short time then slung in a call, and mucked when he saw the K♥J♦ of Gouges.

Maxime Taldir

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Tomas Pinkevicius opened to 500 from under the gun and he was called five times.

He continued for 900 on a flop of Q♣2♥A♠, but only Simon Wiciak to his left and Peter Jaksland in the cutoff called.

Pinkevicius fired a second barrel of 4,200 on the J♥ turn and made Wiciak fold. However Jaksland called to find the 7♠ river.

Pinkevicius bet 6,600, but Jaksland raised all-in for 23,200. Pinkevicius went deep into the tank, until the clock was called, at which point he made the call.

Peter Jaksland: K♠10♥ All in
Tomas Pinkevicius: 2♣2♦

Pinkevicius called with a set, but Jaksland had a straight and doubled up.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There were already around 11,500 chips in the pot on a board of K♠A♦J♦10♠ when Marius Kudzmanas from the small blind and Elvis Petcu on the button both checked.

When the 8♣ hit the river, Kudzmanas led out for 3,500, and Petcu wasted no time in throwing in a calling chip.

Kudzmanas then revealed 10♦9♦ for a pair of tens, and Petcu showed a pair of aces with A♠5♠ to claim the pot.
