Salter Doesn't Fall for the Trap

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Louis Salter raised from early position and was called by three opponents including Noah Boeken on the button and Jorryt van Hoof in the big blind. On the {4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop all four of them check and van Hoof was then the only to check-call a delayed continuation bet of the Brit for 1,000.

Both once again check the {A-Clubs} river and that was good for Salter, as he was shown {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} by van Hoof.

No Bonus for van Hoof

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Noah Boeken reraised from the cutoff and then called the squeeze to 3,000 by Jorryt van Hoof out of the small blind, the other player in the hand folded. Both players checked down the board {10-Clubs}{A-Spades}{9-Spades}{A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} entirely and van Hoof flipped over the {7-Spades}{2-Spades}. Boeken won the hand with the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and then David Boyaciyan joked "bonus?".

The seven deuce game is fairly popular at the cash game tables, but not necessarily profitable in tournaments.

Swings Start for Boeken

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Noah Boeken and his table neighbor check a pot of 12,000 on the {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{7-Clubs} turn and the {3-Clubs} came on the river. Boeken checked the small blind and then folded when he was confronted with a bet of 5,500.

The champion of 2013 was previously off to a good start and dropped just below starting stack again.

The van Embden Exit Details

Dominic van Embden

Dominic van Embden had lost half of his stack early on and then was down all the way to just 11,000 chips. He three-bet with pocket kings and was called to see a flop of {6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. The continuation bet of the Dutchman was raised and he got it in against the {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} of his opponent. The turn was a blank but the {10-Clubs} on the river completed a flush for the other player in the hand.

Boeken Backdoors Better Straight

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On the four-way flop of {3-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, Noah Boeken and two other players invested 1,200 chips before the 2013 champion fired the {K-Clubs} turn for 4,000. Only his table neighbor called and then checked the {J-Spades} river. Boeken tanked for a long time and checked behind with the {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, which upset his opponent from one seat over who had flopped a straight with the {4-}{5-}.
