Sujeta Makes the Right Call Against Demircan

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Serdar Demircan
Serdar Demircan

In the last hand of the previous level, Serdar Demircan raised to 3,500 from the middle position. Tomas Sujeta three-bet to 12,500 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Demircan.

"I know you have a good hand, but I have good too, so I have to call," Demircan declared before making the call and then checking blind.

The flop came {5-Clubs}{7-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Sujeta continued with a bet of 7,000 which Demircan check-called.

The turn brought them the {4-Spades}, Demircan led out for 17,000 and Sujeta called.

The river completed the board with the {4-Clubs}. Demircan now fired a bet of 33,000 over the line.

"What do you have? A set of sevens?" Sujeta asked.

"I don't have sevens, I swear!" Demircan replied.

"Set of Fives?" Sujeta pressed.

"I don't have a set of sevens," Demircan replied again.

"I can't fold, I have a full house," Sujeta concluded before putting the chips in and showing {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the flopped pair of sevens, turned two pair, and rivered full house.

Demircan mucked and complimented Sujeta: "Nice hand, well played,"

Sujeta replied: "yes, you too."

Said Flops a Set

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a hand just before the break, Oliver Said raised to 5,500 from the hijack and was called by Sulaiman Sesay in the cutoff and David Rapenne in the big blind.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts}, both Rapenne and Said checked. Sesay bet 4,500 and Rapenne called. Said raised to 16,000 which only Rapenne called.

The turn was the {q-Hearts}, Rapenne check-called the 20,000 continuation-bet of Said.

The river completed the board with the {8-Diamonds} and Rapenne quickly checked again. Said contemplated a bit, grabbed 20,000 for a bet, looked at Rapenne and then made it 25,000 to go. Rapenne called almost immediately and then mucked when Said tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for the flopped set of tens.
