Rezaei gets Paid by Smiljkovic

Kirk Brown

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a three-way flop of A♣7♠4♥, Brett Murray bet 5,000 and was called by Daniel Smiljkovic and Daniel Rezaei to see a turn A♠.

All three players then decided to check and continued to the river 8♠.

Smiljkovic then led for 6,000 but Rezaei had other plans as he bumped it up to 19,000. Murray quickly got out of the way while Smiljkovic tossed out calling chips. He was then shown 3♠4♠ by Rezaei for a rivered flush and he promptly tossed his cards into the muck.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After a preflop betting war, Shahin Shojaeyan moved all in and Mitchell Garshofsky made the call to put him at risk of elimination.

Shahin Shojaeyan: 7♦8♦ All in
Mitchell Garshofsky: 9♥9♠

Garshofsky was well in the lead with his pocket nines, but its always a sweat as the flop came out 2♦5♦10♣ to give Shojaeyan a flush draw. Fortunately for Garshofsky, the runout of 2♠2♥ only improved him to a full house and he was awarded the pot while Shojaeyan headed out.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a three-way flopof K♠Q♣J♦, Travis Egbert bet 2,000 and was called by Jonathan Wang and Torn Saelee to see the turn 4♦.

All three players then decided to check and the dealer set out the J♣ on the river, pairing the board.

Saelee checked, Egbert checked, and Wang bet 6,000, but was then check-raised to 15,000 by Saelee. This produced hasty folds from both Egbert and Wang to award him the pot.
