Bechahed Missteps at the Wrong Time

Adam Lamers

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ian O'Hara raised to 8,000 in the hijack and Sami Bechahed called from the small blind along with the big blind. The flop came 9♠9♥2♦ and the action checked around to the 6♣ on the turn.

Bechahed led out with a bet of 14,000 which got the big blind to fold but O'Hara called to see the A♣ on the river. Bechahed checked this time and O'Hara splashed in a bet of 15,000. Bechahed check-raised all in and O'Hara snapped him off.

Bechahed quickly tabled his 8♦6♦ but mucked it just as fast when O'Hara showed K♠9♣ for the winner. O'Hara's stack of 144,000 was counted out and Bechahed was forced to pay it off.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ketan Shah raised to 8,000 on the button before Charles Wiper moved all in for 44,000 in the small blind. Nissar Quraishi called in the big blind, while Shah got out of the way.

Charles Wiper: K♦K♥ All in
Nissar Quraishi: 7♣7♠

Wiper was a big favorite to double up with his kings until the flop brought 10♥10♠7♥, giving Quraishi a full house. Wiper shot out of his seat and was preparing to make his exit as the 5♦ fell on the turn, but the river brought the K♣ to give him a full house and secure the double up.

"I was generally leaving," Wiper said as he sat back down. Shah then admitted he had folded a king.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Christian Renkey and Graeme Newman saw the turn on a board of 3♥10♥A♦7♠ when Newman bet 15,000 from the hijack. Renkey then moved all in from middle position.

"This would be the ultimate slowroll if you have aces," Renkey said to Newman, who tanked for several minutes before calling for his last 70,000.

Newman showed K♦K♠, but Renkey had A♣7♣ for top pair and secured the knockout once the Q♥ completed the board on the river.

"Right before break, I'm on the come up," Renkey said after the hand.

Benjamin McKevitt raised it up to 6,000 in the cutoff and Daniel Jones called on the button. The flop fell 7♣6♥2♦ and McKevitt tossed in a bet of 6,000 which Jones called.

The turn was the 3♣ and McKevitt fired out another small bet of 15,000 and McKevitt stuck around for the 8♦ on the river. McKevitt checked this time and Jones reached back for a large bet of 66,000. McKevitt flicked in a chip to call and Jones tabled 10♥9♦ for a rivered straight to scoop the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ryan Hunsinger raised to 10,000 on the button and Mitchell Halverson reraised to 40,000 in the small blind. The big blind folded and Hunsinger just called to see a flop of A♥4♠3♦.

Halverson led out with a bet of 17,000 and Hunsinger called to see the 8♣ on the turn. Halverson counted out another bet of 36,000 and Hunsinger stuck around for the A♦ on the river.

Halverson changed things up with a minimum bet of 3,000 into a pot of nearly 200,000. Hunsinger countered with a small raise to 12,000 and Halverson just called. Hunsinger turned over A♣Q♥ for trip aces and Halverson conceded the pot.
