Kaukua Gets Respect

Dan O'Hair

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Toni Kaukua opened to 700 from early position and was three-bet to 2,100 by Giuseppe Bassarelli in the cutoff. Antonio Saez Zamorano then four-bet to 4,600 from the small blind and it was folded back to Kaukua, who tanked for a while before announcing a five-bet to 8,700.

Bassarelli and Zamorano both quickly folded in turn and Kaukua collected the pot without showing.

Cvetkovic’s Full House Leaves Lehoussine Second Guessing

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sava Krink

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Bo Jin opened the action with a raise to 400 from the cutoff, only to see Karim Lehoussine respond with a three-bet to 1,400 from the button. Andrija Cvetkovic, sitting in the big blind, opted to call, while Jin stepped aside.

The 9♥J♠A♠ flop saw Cvetkovic check to Lehoussine, who continued with a bet of 1,500. Cvetkovic, however, came back strong with a check-raise to 5,500. After a brief pause, Lehoussine made the call.

When the 9♣ landed on the turn, Cvetkovic led out with a bet of 4,000, keeping the pressure on. Lehoussine once again called.

The river brought the 10♣, and Cvetkovic wasted no time, firing a sizable 13,000 bet. Lehoussine went deep into the tank, visibly unhappy with the spot, but eventually made the call.

At showdown, Cvetkovic tabled J♣J♦, revealing a full house—jacks over nines. Lehoussine nodded, seemingly expecting the result, and mucked his hand, conceding the sizable pot to Cvetkovic.

Andrija Cvetkovic	71,500 71,500	71,500

Cedric Schwaederle was seen doubling up through Phil Gross, which brought his stack to around 20,000.

A full board of 6♦9♠10♥10♠4♣ was showing with the cards already on their backs and Schwaederle's stack of almost 10,000 in the middle. Gross' Qx9x was quickly turned over and mucked as Schwaederle had turned trips with Q♠10♣ to secure the double-up.
