Chaudey Gets No Time

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 3♥6♦3♣5♦ and Giovanni La Padula checked from the small blind. Christopher Chaudey bet 4,300 into a pot of around 11,000 and La Padula check-raised all in, putting his opponent under pressure for the rest of Chaudey's 36,000 chips.

"Sorry, I need a couple of minutes," said Chaudey as he went into the tank.

"TIME ON 22," shouted the dealer as soon as he's said it.

It became clear that La Padula had called time already and so Chaudey got the countdown from the floor. He folded his hand and La Padula scooped the pot.

Heads-up on a flop of 9♠7♠Q♥, Harpreet Gill bet 3,500 from the hijack and Malcolm Franchi moved all in from the big blind. Gill quickly tossed in his last 15,000.

Malcolm Franchi: Q♦9♥

Ari Engel open-raised to 2,200 from late position, Pierre Calamusa called on the button, and the player in the big blind called.

The flop came K♠A♦2♣ and action checked to Calamusa, who made it 3,000. Only Engel called. Both players then checked it back on the 8♥ turn.

The river was the Q♥ and Engel made a small blocking bet of 1,600. Calamusa wasn't having any of it and raised it up to 10,000. Engel folded and Calamusa took the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Dimitrios Anastasakis moved all in from under the gun for just 1,800, less than two big blinds. Alexey Badulin pushed all in over the top from late position for around 10,000 and Mustapha Kanit called on the button with both players well covered. The rest of the table folded and players flipped their cards.

Dimitrios Anastasakis: Q♦6♣ All in
Alexey Badulin: A♦3♦ All in
Mustapha Kanit: Q♠Q♥

The board ran out 7♦10♦8♠A♠9♣ to give Anastasakis a straight and a triple up. Badulin won the side pot with his pair of aces, taking chips from Kanit as he nearly doubled up.

Ho Takes Pot With River Shove

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Poseidon Ho raised to 2,000 from the cutoff, Atanas Malinov called on the button, and the small blind and big blind both came along.

The flop fell 7♥7♠10♦ and Ho continued for 3,500. Only Malinov called to take the action to the turn, which was the Q♣. Ho led again for 6,000 and Malinov called.

Ho didn't slow down on the K♦ river, instead shoving all in for around 30,000 effective. This proved too much for Malinov, who folded to give Ho the pot.
