Eychenne Puts the Ultimate Cooler on Pustina

Tyler Boyer

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vlastimil Pustina opened the action with a raise to 2,100 from early position, which was called by Justin Sternberg in middle position. It then folded to Thomas Eychenne in the hijack, who three-bet to 8,000. It folded back to Pustina who four-bet to 21,000. Sternberg got out of the way, and Eychenne used one time bank before five betting all in for Pustina's stack of 68,500. Pustina quickly made the call to put himself at risk.

Vlastimil Pustina: K♦K♣ All in
Thomas Eychenne: A♦A♣

It was the ultimate cooler for Pustina who ran his pocket kings into the aces of Eychenne. Once the board ran out 6♣5♠7♦5♥J♣ the pocket aces of Eychenne were still best, to take the pot and send Pustina to the rebuy desk.

Justin Saliba opened to 2,100 in middle position and was called by Guillermo Sanchez on the button.

The dealer revealed the 10♠J♥3♣ flop and Saliba led out for 2,100. Sanchez called to the 8♠ turn, where Saliba fired again for 6,000.

Sanchez called and the 8♣ river completed the board. Saliba led out for another 6,000 after using a time bank card. Sanchez then used two time banks of his own before moving all in for 12,800.

Saliba used almost the entire 30 second clock before letting his hand go and Sanchez raked in the chips.

Han Feng raised to 2,200 in the cutoff and Isaac Kempton defended in the big blind.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Michael Berk opened to 2,200 from the hijack and found a single call from Maria Ho on his immediate left.

Berk checked the 6♠7♦3♦ flop and Ho took a moment before firing 3,200 into the middle. Berk called to see the 4♥ turn, where both players declined to bet.

Another check from Berk followed the J♣ river, where Ho counted out a bet of 7,800. That was enough to earn the pot as Berk folded.
