Te Cannot Bluff Del Rosario

Christian Zetzsche

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a turn of 9♠6♦4♥10♥, John Te bet 4,500 and Anton Del Rosario called, which led them to the 4♦ on the river. Del Rosario checked once more and Te now fired a bet of 9,500. That didn't deter Del Rosario, who stuck around with a call and was shown the A♠K♦ for a bluff.

Del Rosario claimed the pot with the 9♦8♥ and then virtually patted himself on the shoulders.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

William Ysmael raised it up for the button and Richard "Hot Sauce" Marquez in the small blind to call.

The 3♥2♣2♦ flop was checked to Ysmael and he bet 800. Only Marquez check-called and did so again for 1,800 on the J♦ turn. The 5♥ fell on the river and Marquez checked a third street in a row. Ysmael now bet 4,500 and Marquez engaged in some table chat before he folded and flashed the 5♦ face-up.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

"Oh my god, you got there on the river?" the opponent of Bryan Khoo gasped when they paid off a bet worth 6,000 on a completed board of A♣5♠4♥4♠6♠. Khoo's A♠10♠ had hit running spades for the nut flush and he then admitted "it was a crying call for me on the flop".

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Daniel Francis had quickly dropped to a short stack but he just earned more than a double to get right back into contention. The cards of his opponent were in the muck already while Francis' 10♥8♣ for flopped top pair on the 8♦5♠4♠7♥Q♣ board was good enough.

"I folded pocket sixes," Wonwook Jung mentioned in table chat.
