Perdrix Bets Out Kyte

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 5♥3♣A♦, Dirk Perdrix bet 7,000 from middle position before Jon Kyte raised to 18,000 in the small blind. Perdrix then reraised to 45,000, and Kyte called.

The turn was the Q♠ and Kyte checked over to Perdrix, who bet another 65,000. Kyte spent a few minutes fiddling with his chips, but he eventually tossed his cards away.

Perdrix wiped his brow as he took in the pot. "Show the bluff," Kyte said to him.

"You're too good. Put them away," Perdirx replied, sending his cards back face down.

"Set of fives?" Kyte asked.

"Set of fives? Way less," Perdrix added.

The action folded to Sumant Ponnala on the button who made it 5,500 to go. Daniel Tafur called from the small blind and the big blind came along as well.

The flop came A♦10♥7♠ and Tafur led out with a bet of 7,000 which got the big blind to fold. Ponnala raised to 21,000 and Tafur just called. The 7♣ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 3♣ on the river.

Tafur checked again and Ponnala quickly checked it back, turning over A♠10♠ for the best two pair and the best hand.

Nikolai Mamut raised it up to 5,000 on the button and Chang Lee called from the big blind. The flop fell A♥8♠4♥ and Lee check-called a bet of 5,500 from Mamut.

The turn was the K♥ which slowed the action as both players checked to the 3♠ on the river. Lee checked one more time and Mamut flicked in a bet of 18,500. Lee looked him up and Mamut rolled over A♠K♦ for two pair and the best hand.

Sebastien Grax: 7♣7♠ All in
Nikolai Mamut: 10♠10♥

Mamut had Grax crushed with his tens, and Grax couldn't find any miracles on the 8♦4♠Q♣6♦9♣ board and was sent to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Emanuel Pantis raised to 4,000 in early position and Osmin Dardon called on the button. The flop fell 9♣3♠2♦ and both players checked to the 5♣ on the turn.

Pantis led out with a bet of 7,000 and Dardon raised to 27,000. Pantis called and the 6♦ landed on the river. Pantis checked this time and Dardon quickly slid out a stack of T5,000 chips. Pantis was put to the test for his remaining 68,000 chips but decided to fold.

"Queen-ten," Dardon announced. "Just so you don't ask me later."

"Show it," Pantis pleaded and Dardon complied by turning over Q♦10♦ for complete air.
