Barthe Picks Off Gocer's Bluff

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Didier Barthe raised to 300 from middle position and got a call before Alper Gocer three-bet to 1,000 from the button. Only Barthe called and action went to the flop, which came 63Q. Barthe checked, Gocer bet 1,600 and Barthe called.

The turn was the 2 and Barthe checked again. Gocer made it 1,600 to go and Barthe called. On the K river, Barthe checked for a third time and Gocer sized up to 4,000. Barthe made what would turn out to be a pretty heroic call.

Gocer showed A9 for a complete bluff. Barthe picked off the bluff with 99, which was enough to win him the pot.

Kasian's Full House Counterfeited

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Oleksandr Kasian open-raised to 300 from middle position and picked up a call before Harvey Jackson three-bet to 900 from the button. Both of his opponents called.

The flop came 333 and Kasian led out for 2,000, which only Jackson called. Both players then checked it back on the 7 turn.

Stephen Song
Stephen Song

With 3,200 in the pot on a flop of AK2, Boris Berthomet bet 2,000 from the small blind and Stephen Song called on the button.

Berthomet bet another 5,000 on the 10 turn and Song again called. The river was the 10 and Berthomet bet 1,700.

Song this time came back with an all-in shove. Berthomet, with around 20,000 remaining, then went deep into the tank.

"I want to call. Can you bluff here?" he wondered as several minutes came off the clock.

"Sorry guys," he eventually said and another tablemate called the clock. Berthomet allowed his 30-second timer to run out before his hand was declared dead. Song returned his cards face down as he scooped the pot.

The turn was the 5 and Mack checked again. Bolling bet 2,200 and Mack called. On the 7 river, Mack led out for 5,200, a move that left Bolling pondering. Bolling let it go and Mack scooped in the pot.
