Tomas On the Rise

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

Joao Tomas raised to 3,000 from under the gun, picking up calls from Atanas Kodinov in the small blind and the player in the big blind.

The dealer spread a 1028 flop, which saw Tomas continue for 5,000. Kodinov made the call, and the big blind player folded.

When Kodinov checked for a second time on the 8 turn, there was no slowing down from Tomas, this time betting 15,000. Once again, Kodinov called.

The river 2 saw both flush draws miss, and when Kodinov checked for a third time, Tomas fired again, this time for 25,000. Kodinov spent some time considering his options before making the call.

Tomas flipped over QQ, which was enough to win the pot as Kodinov returned his cards to the dealer face down.

Vladimir Lipnitskii
Vladimir Lipnitskii

The pot was around 16,000 on a board of K9KA when Vladimir Lipnitskii checked from early position. Daniel Charlton fired a bet of 10,000, and after some thought, Lipnitskii made the call.

The J river saw another check from Lipnitskii, and Charlton kept up the pressure with a bet of 35,000. Lipnitskii went deep into the tank for nearly four minutes before eventually folding, conceding the pot to Charlton.

Behind, Ahead, Chop It Up

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

David Docherty kicked the action off, moving all in for 14,500. Jacob Stone was the only player to make the call, putting Docherty at risk.

David Docherty: A5 All in
Jacob Stone: AQ

The flop A42 saw Docherty calling for a three, but he settled for the 5 turn, which saw him take the lead.

This left Stone calling for a three, and the deck obliged, the river 3 seeing both players make a wheel straight and chop the pot.

Bonus Finds River Value, Merelli Left Short

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

Alessandro Merelli raised to 3,000 from the cutoff, and only Markus Bonus called, defending his big blind.

Both players checked on the Q66 flop, which prompted Bonus to take over the betting lead on the 10 turn. He placed 3,500 into the middle, which Merelli called.

The river 7 didn't slow Bonus down, continuing with a bet of 11,500. Merelli opted to call but saw the bad news when Bonus flipped over Q9. Unable to beat top pair, Merelli returned his cards to the dealer face down.
