Stoika Bets Big on the River

Kai Cocklin

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

There were around 35,000 in the pot on a 6♣4♠2♣ flop when Dejan Kaladjurdjevic checked from under the gun then called a bet of 17,500 from Roman Stoika, who was on the button.

Both checked the 10♥ turn and when the 7♣ hit the river, Kaladjurdjevic tapped the table. Stoika then bet 95,000 after using some extra time, and Kaladjurdjevic let it go.

Lightning Strikes Twice for Kenjic

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

Hassan Nashar is surrounded by chips as he just stacked Jovan Kenjic again right before the break!

Kenjic again limped and Nashar made it 15,000, just like in the previous hand. Kenjic then shoved for 250,000.

"Do you have a pair or not? If you don't, I'll call," asked Nashar to Kenjic, who replied that he didn't have a pair, so Nashar called.

Jovan Kenjic: KxJx All in
Hassan Nashar: 9x9x

It was a flip, and one that went Nashar's way as Kenjic couldn't improve, which left him having to visit the cashier once again for a third bullet.

Kenjic Gets the Nashar Treatment

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic limped in from middle position for 2,000 and Hassan Nashar made it 15,000 to go from the cutoff. When it got back to Kenjic, he shoved for 215,000.

A strange situation occured as Kenjic thought Nashar had called and revealed his cards to Nashar, who then waved his cards around and then stuck in the call anyway.

Jovan Kenjic: K♠9♠ All in
Hassan Nashar: 7♠4♣

Kenjic probably thought he was behind, but in fact found himself well ahead with five cards to come. The flop of A♠2♣Q♦ didn't change much, but the 3♦ did give Nashar extra outs on the turn as any five would complete a wheel draw.

It was the wheel draw that came in as the 5♥ hit the river, which meant Nashar took the pot and sent Kenjic to the rail. However, Kenjic wanted more so swiftly hopped back in.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Hassan Nashar made it 10,000 from under the gun before Artsiom Lasouski three-bet to 25,000 from middle position. Aliaksei Boika called in the hijack, and Nashar also called.

The flop was 4♣8♦A♣ and after Nashar checked, Lasouski bet 30,000. Both Boika and Nashar called to see the 9♣ hit the turn, which checked to Boika. He threw out 45,000, which Nashar and Lasouski called.

The 2♦ hit the river and they decided to check it down, where Lasouski's A♠K♥ was good for the pot.
