Biz Raises it Away on the Turn

Tyler Foran

Level 7 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The under-the-gun player opened to 11,000, and Gihad Ismail called next act, followed by Mustafa Biz doing the same.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♣Q♦4♦, and all three players quickly tapped the table to see the 9♦ turn. The under-the-gun player checked once more, and Ismail tossed two chips across the line for a bet of 10,000. Biz put in a raise to 35,000, and the preflop raiser snap-mucked, followed by Ismail tabling 9♥7♥.

"Right color, wrong suit" Ismail said as he mucked his hand.

There was an open to 8,000 in middle position, and the button called before both Yanko Krushkov and Erdem Akmert came along in the blinds.

All four players checked the 9♥6♦6♠ flop to see the 8♥ turn. Krushkov led for 12,000, and Akmert raised to 30,000. Both the original raiser and the button quickly got out of the way, and Krushkov made the call.

When the 8♦ hit the river, Krushkov check-folded to a bet of 30,000 from Akmert.

Level 6 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There was a raised to 8,000 in early position before Denis Zelenkin three-bet to 22,000 from a couple of spots to the left. The button put in another raise to 56,000, and the action folded back around to Zelenkin as he moved all-in. The button had roughly 212,000 and made the call.

Button: K♥K♣ All in
Denis Zelenkin: A♥A♦

Zelenkin was on the right side of the cooler and the A♠7♣5♣10♥2♦ run out improved him to a set of aces as his opponent exited the tournament.

Level 5 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Two players brewed a pot of roughly 115,000, and the Q♦6♦2♣9♠ turn was already on the felt. Once checked to, Yury Bochkarev fired a bet of 15,000, and his opponent instantly called.

The Q♠ fell on the river, and the action checked to Bochkarev once again before he announced all-in for roughly 90,000. His opponent went deep into the tank, using a time bank card before tossing his cards face down toward the dealer.

Michele Nizzardelli opened 7,500 under the gun, and both Nissim Sonsino on the button, and the big blind made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of K♦J♦8♦, and the action checked to Sonsino who fired a bet of 15,000. The big blind quickly folded, but Nizzardelli made the call.

The 6♣ hit the turn, and Nizzardelli checked to Sonsino who continued with aggression, dropping 40,000 into the center. This time that was enough to earn the pot as Nizzardelli mucked his hand.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Five players limped in to see the K♥6♦4♥ flop, where both the blinds checked to Safi Haidar who was the original limper under the gun and he fired a bet of 7,000. Only the player on his left and the big blind made the call.

When the 3♦ fell on the turn, the big blind checked once more and Haidar continued for 10,000. Once again, he was met with two calls.

The A♣ completed the board on the river, and this time both the big blind and Haidar checked. The player last to act fired 35,000 across the line, forcing the big blind to quickly fold.

Haidar went into the tank saying, "You have the ace of heart huh?"

His opponent let out a smirk but didn't respond. After a few more seconds, Haidar made the call. His opponent tapped the table as he said, "Good call," showing the Q♥10♥ for a busted flush darw.

Haidar tabled K♠J♣ for a pair of kings while pulling in the pot.
