Docherty Jams in Four-Way Pot

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

David Docherty, Terence Jordan, Jeremie Beneteau, and Valeri Savov headed to a flop of A♠10♠Q♣. Docherty checked in the big blind, and Jordan followed suit in middle position.

Beneteau then bet 2,000 in the cutoff, which Savov called on the button. Docherty had other plans, however, and raised to 9,000. Jordan quickly got out of the way, but Benetau stuck around with a call. Savov also folded, leading to the 4♣ appearing on the turn.

Docherty moved all in, covering the 18,200 remaining chips of his opponent. Beneteau had seen enough and mucked, granting the pot to Docherty. Docherty raked in the chips and showed a 9♠ to the table upon Jordan's request.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With the board reading 7♦8♣10♦A♥A♣ and a bit over 10,000 in the middle, Kevin Roethlisberger checked in the small blind and Joao Amador bet 12,500 from the big blind. Roethlisberger thought for about a minute before calling,

Amador could only show 9♥3♠ for a missed open-ended straight draw, turned into a bluff. Roethlisberger tabled Q♦10♠ for two pair to win the hand.

Heads up to the 5♥2♣5♣ flop, Virgile Turchi checked from the small blind to Rafi Elharar under the gun. Elharar bet 2,500, which Turchi raised to 8,000. Elharar called to the 8♣ turn, where he saw his opponent bet 4,500.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Maksym Filipovskyi opened from the hijack, and Rui Soares three-bet to 1,800 from the button. Firoz Mangroe four-bet to 5,500 from the big blind, and Filipovskyi five-bet shoved for a bit over 25,000. Soares folded before Mangroe, who had 25,100 and was slightly covered, snap-called.

Firoz Mangroe: A♣A♠ All in
Maksym Filipovskyi: J♥J♦

The A♦2♥3♠K♠2♠ left Filipovskyi drawing dead on the turn, while Mangroe was good at showdown with top boat to double up, leaving Filipovskyi with less than ten big blinds.
