Ishchenko Takes Three-Bet Pot

Richard Hayes

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Action folded to a player on the button, who opened to 800. Dmytro Ishchenko was in the small blind and produced a three-bet to 3,300, which his opponent called.

On the J♠J♥9♣ flop, Ishchenko led out with a bet of 1,200. His opponent raised to 6,100, but this was met with a swift four-bet to 13,000 from Ishchenko, and his opponent promptly disposed of his hand into the muck.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player opened to 1,100 in middle position and was faced with a three-bet by Mohamed Iche to 3,000 in the next seat. Action folded to Ali Bayrak in the small blind, who called, as did the opener.

Action was checked to Iche on the 8♣6♦2♣ flop, who slid out a bet of 5,000. Only Bayrak called.

The Q♣ turn was checked through by both players.

On the 9♥ river, Bayrak led out with a bet of 11,000, leading to a relatively swift fold from Iche.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a board of 2♥A♠10♠4♣3♠ with 10,700 in the pot, Samy Khaled in middle bet 11,300, almost his entire stack.

On the other side of the table, Mathieu Rabalison in the small blind went deep into the tank, and he eventually found a call with 6♣4♠ for the third pair.

"Good call" seemed to say Khaled, who only had Q♣J♥ for queen-high and a missed straight draw.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Alexandre Dana opened to 1,000 from the cutoff and was called by Nicolas Grasland called on the button.

On the K♣7♣10♣ flop, Dana continued with a bet of 800 and Grasland called.

The J♦ rolled off on the turn, and Dana check-called a bet of 3,200 from Grasland.

The 8♣ river completed the board, bringing one-card flush possibilities, and Dana led out with a bet of 8,000. After some thought, Grasland folded, showing K♠.

Dana showed Q♥7♥, having turned his pair of sevens into a bluff, and raked in the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ludovic Heude opened to 1,000 under the gun and received calls from two opponents, before action folded to Axel Jacquin in the big blind.

Jacquin pondered his options for a moment, before moving all in for 25,000. Heude rejammed for 49,000 under the gun, leading to folds from both of the other players.

Axel Jacquin: 10♠10♣ All in
Ludovic Heude: 7♣7♦

Jacquin's pocket tens were in great shape versus Heude's pocket sevens, and nothing altered on the A♦3♠J♠5♠5♥ runout, sending Jacquin a double-up.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

On a board of K♥8♥5♥7♦ with 22,800 in the pot, Andrew Hawkins in the hijack moved all-in for 25,200. Vincent Robert in the small blind went into the tank for more than a minute, and he eventually called.

Andrew Hawkins: 8♣8♠ All in
Vincent Robert: A♦K♣

When Hawkins flipped over his set, Robert said that he was drawing dead before he revealed top pair. The 3♥ completed the board and Hawkins doubled up.
