Galindo Four-Bet Jams the Flop

Calum Grant

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Humberto Lopes Galindo opened for 4,000 under the gun before Clement van Driessche made it 10,000 from the button. Galindo called.

The flop came K♣5♣3♣ and Galindo checked. Van Driessche bet 3,500 and Galindo popped it to 10,500. Van Driessche reraised to 18,500, which spurred Galindo to move all in and van Driessche to snap-fold.

Khatri Gets Thin Value

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bhavin Kahtri opened for 4,000 and called when the hijack made it 10,000 to go.

Khatri check-called for 8,000 on the J♠10♣4♣ flop before a 6♣ turn checked through to the 8♠ river.

Khatri led out for just 2,000, an unusually small bet that confused his opponent.

"It's embarrassing isn't when you can't call 2,000," said Khatri. "You think about a bluff-raise?"

The hijack just opted to call and mucked after Khatri tabled his Q♦J♦.

Thien Wu opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and called when the button jammed for 27,500.

Button: K♣J♦
Thien Wu: A♥J♠

The button was dominated but paired their king on the K♥9♣3♣ flop. Wu seemed displeased until the A♦ turn gave him the lead. The 9♠ completed the board and Wu sealed the pot.

Melert Jams The End

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up on the river.

The board read 2♣2♥9♠J♦J♣ and a player in the big blind checked over to Shane Melert in the hijack, with 39,000 in the middle already.

Melert moved all in for 65,000 which was enough to put his opponent all in and his opponent went into the tank. After over a minute of thought he tossed his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to Melert.
