Más de Fernandez

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Justin Bonomo opened to 800 from the cutoff, Pablo Fernandez called on the button, and both blinds released.

The dealer spread {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, and Bonomo reached for a blue T5,000 chip.

"Fifteen-hundred," he announced, dropping the chip onto the felt.

Fernandez quickly called, prompting the dealer to burn and turn the {4-Clubs}. Bonomo tossed out 3,300, and again, Fernandez quickly called.

The {6-Spades} completed the board, and both players checked. Bonomo showed {k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} for king-high, which Fernandez had beat with {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for top pair of aces.

Jake Cody

Jake Cody flopped a set on a very wet flop and decided to play it cautiously on his way to taking pot.

The acton was three-way to said {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop where all three checked. On the {5-Clubs} turn the Team PokerStars bet 1,900 and was only called by Oleg Bychkov. Both players went on to check the {j-Hearts} river and Cody opened {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. Bychkov mucked.

Kalas Times Two

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

There was an open to 1,050 from under the gun, and Kane Kalas, son of the late legendary Philadelphia Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas, moved all in for around 6,000 on the original raiser's direct left. Ramin Hajiyev re-raised to around 10,000, and the action folded back to the original raiser, who folded as well.

Kalas: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Hajiyev: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

There was an ace on the {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop, giving Kalas the lead, and the turn and river bricked {6-Spades}, {k-Spades} respectively. Kalas doubled to around 13,000 chips, while Hajiyev is still very healthy with 58,000.

A Dear Friend

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Micah Raskin opened to 700, Friend of PokerStars Pierre Neuville, who recently doubled up, three-bet to 1,900 two spots to his left, and the action folded back to Raskin, who called.
