Language Wins Pot Without Showdown

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Three ways to the Q♣10♣7♦ flop, Mariette Language was the only one to check-call a bet of 1,500 while in the blinds. The duo checked the 7♥ on the turn and Language then bet the Q♥ river for 2,000 when the board paired for a second time. She received no call and claimed the pot without showdown.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On the tail end of a J♦7♣4♥2♣6♦ board, Sugen Singh and Toran Tate both invested 5,100 chips. Singh showed J♥10♥ but had a kicker problem, as Tate earned the pot with AxJ♠.

That sent Singh's stack to around half of what he started with while several players on this particular table have already chipped up significantly.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Heads-up to the 8♠7♦5♦ flop, Christoper Dean checked and the button bet 2,500 for Dean to call. They checked the 9♠ turn and Dean then bombed the Q♦ river for 11,500.

"Why so much?" his opponent asked and then later mentioned "remember, in the first hand we played I said to trust my instinct. I want to call," he declared but eventually opted to fold the A♦7♣ face-up. Dean didn't show any of his cards and instead collected the pot.
