Good River for Rahman

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was 20,000 in the middle and the completed board read {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Md Habibur Rahman was in position and bet 14,000 into the pot when checked to.

His opponent needed to use a time-bank card when deciding what to do, before flicking in a chip for the call. He couldn't beat Rahman's {a-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, which had made a straight by the river.

Hsu and Winstone Clash

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Thomas Winstone opened 3,000 on the cutoff and Chia Fu Hsu three-bet him to 10,000 on the button. Dante Matei cold-called in the blinds and when it came back to Winstone, he moved all-in effective for 55,000. Hsu didn't think about it too long before making the call and Matei needed even less time to think, sending his cards into the muck.

Chia Fu Hsu: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Thomas Winstone: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

The {q-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs} runout held for the pocket rockets and Chan is in much better shape now as players get ready to take their first break.

Poulangeris and Padilha Tussle

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were four players facing the {9-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop but after three checked to Celso Padilha in position and he bet 5,300, only Antonis Poulengeris called, taking them heads up to the turn.

It was the {10-Spades}, which brought a one-card straight possibility and a flush draw and Poulengeris check-called again, this time for 16,000. The last card out was the {2-Hearts} and after a third check, Padilha checked it back.

Antonis Poulengeris: {k-Spades}{2-Spades}
Celso Padilha: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

The two players had traded the lead at every street but ultimately it was Poulengeris who took it down with the better two pair, much to Padilha's disappointment.

Rahman Finds a Double

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Things have not been going smoothly for Md Habibur Rahman of late. Just now he was down to less than starting stack and he got it all in preflop against Rachid El Qmache, with the slight mathematical edge.

Md Habibur Rahman: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}
Rachid El Qmache: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

It came {4-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Rahman survived at the expense of Qmache who has barely more than ten big blinds now.

Siabi Triples at a Cost to Martin and Patel

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Parviz Siabi was nursing a short stack and moved all in from middle position for around 11,000. Jay Patel opted to call on the button and the action came to Benjamin Martin who went all in over the top. It was enough to persuade Patel to lay it down and the two players turned over their cards.

Parviz Siabi: {a-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Benjamin Martin: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Siabi was drawing thin, that was until he connected with the {10-Clubs}{2-Spades}{6-Spades} flop. There was no turning things around for Martin on the {10-Hearts} turn or {7-Hearts} river and Siabi got the triple up he needed, taking him up over starting stack.
