Sgorrano Checks to Induce

Matthew Warburton
Matthew Warburton
Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jerome Sgorrano raised to 25,000 from under the gun, Sebastian Malec three-bet to 80,000 and Sgorrano called.

The flop came 2♠8♣5♥ and Sgorrano checked. Malec continued for 57,000 and Sgorrano called. On the 10♦ turn, Sgorrano checked again and Malec sized up to 165,000. Sgorrano once again made the call.

The river was the 7♣ and Sgorrano checked for a third time. Malec weighed up a bet, using a time bank card before deciding to check back.

It was a wise choice, as Sgorrano tabled 10♠10♣ for a set of tens that he'd been checking to induce bluffs. In any case, Sgorrano still claimed a significant pot.

[Removed:533] raised to 26,000 on the button and Georgios Karakousis and Khossein Kokhestani called in the blinds.

La [Removed:534] continued for 28,000 on the Q♣8♥6♥ flop and both opponents called. The turn was the A♦ and La [Removed:534] bet another 130,000.

Only Kokhestani called this time and the 5♥ fell on the river. La [Removed:534] then moved all in, sending Kokhestani deep into the tank.

Kokhestani took several minutes and burned through most of his time banks before calling for 592,000. La [Removed:534] could only show K♦9♥ for a bluff as Kokhestani threw down A♠6♠ for two pair and slammed the table in celebration.

"He had a flush or nothing," Kokhestani said, snapping a photo of the board before raking in the massive pot worth 1,600,000.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of J♦10♥3♠Q♦ with around 180,000 in the middle and Georgi Sandev was already all in with less than one big blind.

Attila Ivacson checked and Andreas Goeller pushed all in for 233,000. Ivacson folded to give Goeller the lion's share of the pot and he and Sandev flipped their cards to play for the rest.

Goeller had K♠K♣ for an overpair and straight draw. Ivacson showed 8♣7♣ and was drawing dead. The river was a blank and Goeller claimed the full pot, sending Sandev to the exit.

Action folded to Jerome Sgorrano who limped in from the small blind. Sebastian Malec then moved all in and Sgorrano snap-called for 319,000.

Jerome Sgorrano: A♦K♥ All in
Sebastian Malec: A♥2♣

Sgorrano had sprung a successful trap on Malec as he had the EPT champion dominated. The J♣3♣3♠ flop left open the possibility of a chop, while Malec picked up a straight draw on the 4♠ turn, but Sgorrano held on through the 7♠ river to double up.

The rest of the table was already heading on break as Manuel Cortada raised to 20,000 in early position. Georgi Sandev then three-bet to 60,000 in the hijack and Cortada called.

The flop came 7♥3♣2♥ and Sandev continued for 26,000. Cortada called and the 7♦ fell on the turn.

Sandev then bet 55,000 and Cortada again called. The river was the 2♣ and Sandev bet 200,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Cortada tanked for a minute and used a time bank before calling.

"You win," Sandev said, showing Q♥10♥ for a bluff. Cortada turned over 9♠9♦ as he raked in the big pot, not even bothering to stack up the chips before joining the field on break.
