Bilokur Folds to River Check-Raise

Alex Bilokur opened to 800 in late position, a player in the blinds three-bet to 2,425, and Bilokur called.

The dealer fanned {2-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, and the three-bettor led for 2,800. Bilokur called.

The turn was the {q-Spades}, both players checked, and the {7-Clubs} completed the board. The three-bettor checked, Bilokur fired 6,500, and after over two minutes in the tank, the three-bettor check-raised to 21,000.

Bilokur folded.

Cheong Takes On Alvarado

Joseph Cheong & JC Alvarado
Joseph Cheong & JC Alvarado

Action folded around to Joseph Cheong in the cutoff and he promptly raised to 700. JC Alvarado called from the button, both blinds folded, and it was heads up to the {9-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. Cheong, who doesn't waste time, quickly bet 1,100, Alvarado called, and the {2-Diamonds} turned.

This time Cheong checked, but he called when Alvarado bet 2,500. The {7-Spades} river saw Cheong check for a second time, and then he promptly folded when Alvarado fired out a big bet of 14,500.

Despite losing that hand, Cheong is still up considerably from the last time we checked in with him.

Almost a Monster Hand

When we arrived at the table, Brandon Meyers and Joe Elpayaa were heads up on a board of {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The two checked.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}, Elpayaa fired 4,200, and Meyers called.

The {4-Spades} completed the board, and Elpayaa led out again - this time for 7,800. Meyers quickly called. Elpayya flipped over {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a full house, and Meyers mucked.

After the hand, Bryn Kenney said that he folded {10-Spades}{9-Spades} preflop, and a third player said they folded {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}!

Cheong Gives It Up To Raskin

Joseph Cheong and Micah Raskin each out in 4,000 preflop and saw a flop of {8-Spades}{4-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}. Raskin then check-called a bet of 3,500 from middle position, and then both players checked the {5-Hearts} turn. When the {8-Hearts} peeled off on the river, Raskin seized the opportunity to bet 11,000 and Cheong snap-folded.

Kenney Takes from Raghavan

Bryn Kenney checked to Ravi Raghavan on a board of {4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Raghavan fired 3,000, and Kenney check-raised to 7,400. Raghavan called.

The {10-Clubs} completed the board, and Kenney reached for a handful of chips, sloppily tossing out 25,600. Raghavan smiled, then folded, showing the {8-Hearts}.

Harder Three-Bet Jams on River

Christian Harder and Lawrence Greenberg were heads up on a board of {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}. They both checked.

The river was the {9-Clubs}, Harder led out for 4,500, and Greenberg raised to 11,000. Harder leaned forward, examining Greenberg's stack, then moved all in for effectively 38,000.

Greenberg unhappily folded.

Mortensen vs. Marchese

Tom Marchese opened for 900 from the hijack and Carlos Mortensen, who you may recall as the 2001 World Series of Poker Main Event champ, defended from the big blind. The Spaniard then check-called a bet of 1,200 on the {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and the dealer burned and turned the {6-Clubs}. Again Marchese bet, this time 3,500, and again Mortensen called.

When the {8-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Mortensen tabled the {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. Marchese then flashed an ace and mucked.
