Cho Quadruples Up in Four-Way All In

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Young Hwi Cho
Young Hwi Cho

Ozkan Cakir opened the action from early position for 4,000 and was called by a middle position player and the hijack. Young Hwi Cho, on the button, went all in for 24,000 total.

Cakir then made the call and then the middle-position player shoved for 30,000. The hijack, who had 36,500 behind, then went into the tank for nearly two minutes before going all in himself. Cakir called and there was a small crowd gathered around the table for the four-way showdown.

Young Hwi Cho: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Middle Position: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Hijack: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Ozkan Cahir: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Cahir had the biggest of the three pocket pairs and was surprised and excited to see that he was ahead, though Cho had overcards to the rest of them.

With each of the players yelling for their hand to become good, the flop came {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs} putting Cho way out in front.

The turn brought the {q-Diamonds}, giving Cho two pair and giving four cards to an unlikely four-way chop.

The river was the {8-Spades}, giving Cho the quadruple up while Cakir earned the side pot to cut his losses to just 18,500 on the hand.

Petrov Doubles Through Miral

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There was 6,500 in the pot as action was three ways to the flop of {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Action checked to Can Miral on the button who bet 2,500. Veselin Petrov was under the gun and raised to 8,500. The middle position player quickly folded before Miral made the call.

The turn was the {3-Spades} and Petrov paused for a while before he moved all in for 22,000. Miral made the call covering Petrov.

Veselin Petrov: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Can Miral: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Both players had two pair but Petrov had Miral dominated. The river was overkill as it came {j-Diamonds} which gave Petrov a full house and the double up.

Samaha Makes Correct Hero Call with Pair of Sevens

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Bernard Samaha
Bernard Samaha

There was roughly 45,000 in the middle on a {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} board and Afshin Afsharorumieh, from the hijack, put out a bet of 16,000 and placed his chips directly in front of Bernard Samaha, who sat directly to his left.

Samaha was not amused, replying: "I don't believe you have the king." After about 20 seconds, Samaha begrudgingly tossed in a call.

Afsharorumieh could only produce {10-Spades}{8-Clubs} for a missed straight draw while Samaha turned over {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for third pair and took down the huge pot.

Bernard Samaha

Angelo Patane raised from under the gun to 1,800. Afshin Afsharorumieh called in the cutoff before Bernard Samaha three bet to 8,200. Only Patane called.

The flop came {q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Samaha bet 12,000 when checked to. Patane moved all in covering Samaha and Samaha quickly called.

Bernard Samaha: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Angelo Patane: {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Samaha was ahead with an overpair while Patane had a flush draw. The turn was a brick as it came the {q-Spades}. The {q-Diamonds} gave Patane the king high flush however it was no good as Samaha had the full house for the double up.
