Biskin Rivers Trips to Send Derwiche Packing

Kai Cocklin

Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic opened to 6,500 from the hijack and Imad Derwiche called on the button before Mehmet Biskin three-bet the small blind to 34,000. Kaladjurdjevic folded, and Derwiche called.

On the 3♠8♣10♣ flop, Biskin bet 75,000 and Derwiche shoved for not much more, which Biskin quickly called.

Imad Derwiche: 10♦9♣ All in
Mehmet Biskin: Q♥8♥

Derwiche was in a great spot to double up, and was only one card away when the 5♥ fell on the turn. However, he couldn't fade the river as Biskin made trips when the 8♦ rolled off, which sent Derwiche to the rail.

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

Krasimir Yankov finished fourth in the $10,400 GG Million$ just yesterday and hopped in the SHRS Main Event not too long ago.

It's been a slow start, as he is down to around 150,000 as Level 4 comes to an end.

In the latest hand involving Yankov, Aleksandr Kirichenko raised from middle position to 5,500 and Yankov called in the hijack. The big blind also called.

They saw a flop of 7♥3♦10♠, which checked to the K♥ turn. When it got to Kirichenko, he bet 18,500, which was enough to win the pot.

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

Roman Stoika opened from middle position and got both Yannick Schumacher & Nicolas Chouity called from the blinds.

The flop came 4♠K♦2♦ and when it checked to Stoika, he continued for 6,000. Schumacher called, then Chouity bumped it up to 22,000. Stoika wasn't going anywhere just yet and called, but Schumacher folded.

A 9♥ dropped on the turn and Chouity kept up the aggression with a bet of 46,000, which Stoika called to see the 4♥ fall on the river. Both players quickly knuckled to showdown and Chouity's K♣2♣ for a pair of kings was good for the pot.

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

The action folded around to Viacheslav Balaev in the small blind, who made it 10,500 to go. Dejan Kaladjurdjevic was in the big blind and after burning through a few time banks, he called.

On the K♥7♥8♠ flop, Balaev continued for 8,000 and Kaladjurdjevic raised to 18,000. A small click back then came in from Balaev as he made it 30,000 to go, before Kaladjurdjevic shoved for 80,000 total. Balaev snap-called.

Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: K♦Q♣ All in
Viacheslav Balaev: A♥J♥

Kaladjurdjevic was in the lead with his pair of kings, but had to dodge aces and hearts as Balaev had an overcard and a flush draw.

The 7♦ put Kaladjurdjevic half way there, and he successfully dodged the river as the 6♣ peeled off, earning him a double-up.

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

The pot had around 30,000 in it on a board of A♥2♥K♦Q♦ when Roman Stoika checked from the big blind and called a bet of 23,000 from Yannick Schumacher, who was on the button.

A 9♣ fell on the river and after Stoika checked, Schumacher bet 72,000. Stoika released.

On another table at the same time, there were 31,000 in the pot on a 10♥K♦3♦A♦ board when Nichan Khorchidian checked from the big blind and Andrija Robovic also tapped the table from under the gun. Mehdi Chaoui then fired 16,000 from the cutoff, Khorchidian called, and Robovic made it 50,500. After some time in the tank, Chaoui called and Khorchidian folded.

The 4♠ fell on the river and after using some time, Robovic bet around 105,000. Chaoui snap-folded.
