Lahmani Five-Bet Jams

Stewart Morrison

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Laurent Polito raised to 35,000 in the cutoff, and Oshri Lahmani responded with a three-bet to 140,000 from the small blind. With the action back on Polito, he slid a four-bet of 260,000 into the middle. Lahmani used three time extensions to make a decision, and then five-bet jammed for 780,000. Polito wasted no time at all in returning his cards to the dealer.

Oshri Lahmani	1,095,000 535,000	535,000
Laurent Polito	725,000 225,000	225,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Markus Bonus opened to 30,000 in early position. Stanislav Anufriiev and Lorenzo Franco called in the blinds, after which Anufriiev quickly led out for 20,000 on the 3♠6♣5♣ flop.

Franco and Bonus both called to the 10♦ turn. Anufriiev kept firing, pushing in a bet of 65,000. Franco called again before Bonus got out of the way.

The 7♠ river slowed down Anufriiev as he checked it over to Franco. Franco decided on a bet of 110,000, sending Anufriiev into the tank.

After spending multiple time banks, Anufriiev frustratedly folded his hand, forfeiting the pot to his neighbor without showdown.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The recent action across the tables has seen many preflop raises get through.

Jacques Der Megreditchian open jammed for 120,000 on his table, and again, the action folded around.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Jose Malpelli raised to 30,000 in the cutoff, and Roman Stoica called in the small blind. The 8♣A♥8♥ flop saw Malpelli continue for another 30,000. Stoica check-called, after which both players knuckled the table on the 6♥ turn.

Stoica then tossed in 35,000 on the Q♦ river. Malpelli wanted to raise to 165,000, but slid in a stack of chips worth 100,000 first. Despite his protest, the raise was ruled as 100,000, which Stoica quickly called.

Malpelli showed down K♥9♣ for a bluff, leaving Stoica to take the pot with A♠4♠ for aces and eights.

Player	Chips	Progress
Roman Stoica	1,050,000 205,000	205,000
Jose Malpelli	400,000 215,000	215,000

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Following a raise to 35,000 by Jason Wheeler in the cutoff, Alexandre Bermon moved all in for 130,000 from the small blind, and Wheeler called.

Alexandre Bermon: A♠A♥ All in
Jason Wheeler: K♥Q♠

Bermon held a commanding lead on the 2♣3♠4♠ flop, but things got a little shaky on the Q♦ turn.

The J♥ river was clean for Bermon, though, who pulled in a vital double up.

Jason Wheeler	925,000 15,000	15,000
