Maaravi Squeezes Cowboys

Frank Visser

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tobias Peters kicked off the action with a raise to 60,000 in the hijack, holding 10♣9♣. Thomas Bazin called in the cutoff with 8♦8♣, and Jeffrey Sarwer wanted to see a flop on the button with A♣5♣.

Eyal Maaravi then looked down at K♥K♣ in the small blind and pushed in a large three-bet to 325,000.

All previously interested players folded their cards, and the chipleader dragged the pot without the need for a flop.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Pasi Laihinen raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Dimitrios Gkatzas called in the small blind.

The flop came K♣K♠2♠ and Laihinen bet 40,000. Gkatzas called to the 3♦ turn, where Laihinen bet another 175,000. Gkatzas then raised to 400,000, and Laihinen called.

The river was the 9♠ and Gkatzas bet 605,000. Laihinen stood up from his seat and began shuffling his chips in his hand as he went in the tank, taking a few minutes before folding.

"Never bluff," Ding Fan said to Gkatzas.

"Of course. You know better," Gkatzas replied, bursting out in laughter.

"I wasn't bluffing, either," Laihinen added.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tobias Peters open-raised to 60,000 under the gun. Thomas Bazin flatted one position later, after which it folded to Ivan Uzunov in the big blind. He jammed his stack of 425,000.

Peters called, prompting Bazin to get out of the way and fold his 10♦10♣.

Ivan Uzunov: A♣J♣ All in
Tobias Peters: Q♠Q♦

Uzunov caught an ace on the 9♦K♦A♦ flop, but Peters earned the checkmark by hitting a flush on the 2♦ turn. Uzunov said his goodbyes as the meaningless 9♠ river completed the board, exiting in 24th place.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jeffrey Sarwer raised his 6♠6♦ to 60,000 in the hijack, and Eyal Maaravi called in the cutoff with 8♠8♣.

Gianfranco Iaculli wanted to put in a three-bet to 250,000 on the button with 8♦4♦, but accidentally announced 150,000 instead. The floor was called over, and it was ruled the sizing would stand at 150,000, despite Iaculli's protests.

Sarwer and Maaravi both called to the J♦2♥Q♣ flop, but they folded in quick succession when Iaculli placed a continuation-bet of 150,000.

Eyal Maaravi	3,020,000 160,000	160,000

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gianfranco Iaculli tossed in a raise to 50,000 in the hijack. Tobias Peters spent a time bank before committing his stack of 455,000 in the big blind, and Iaculli called immediately.

Tobias Peters: 5♥5♣ All in
Gianfranco Iaculli: A♣9♠

Peters made a set on the 2♣5♦3♠ flop and faded Iaculli's wheel draw on the 10♥ turn and Q♥ river, doubling him up.
