Bahri Check-Raises the Flop

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player opened to 1,300 from middle position. Both Omar Lakhdari in the cutoff and Safwane Bahri in the big blind made the call.

The initial raiser continued for 2,000 on the 6♠K♠10♥ flop. He made Lakhari fold, but Bahri check-raised to 7,000.

He was called, then fired a second barrel of 9,000 on the 2♠ turn. This time, it was too much for the middle position player who decided to fold.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, recent Marrakech Poker Open winner Tristan Forge opened to 2,000 from the small blind and was called by the big blind.

Both players checked the 9♣10♦K♦ flop leading to the A♠ turn where Forge bet 3,000. The big blind called, then after Forge checked the 3♦ river, he bet 7,000.

Forge then check-raised to 35,000, putting his opponent in a tough spot. He eventually made the call with 9♦8♦ for a flush, beating Forge's A♦2♠.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player opened to 1,000 from the hijack. Patrick Faraut called from the cutoff, as well as Davidi Kitai in the big blind.

The initial raiser continued for 1,600 on the Q♣J♥5♦ flop. Faraut called but Kitai gave up at this point. The second barrel of 3,000 on the 10♦ turn was called once again, but both players checked the 4♣ river.

The hijack flipped over A♣A♠. Faraut didn't have a better hand and sent his cards into the muck.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Four-way on a board of 5♠2♦9♥10♦, the big blind bet 3,500 but Mathieu Choffardet in early position raised to 8,000. The two other players folded to the big blind who called.

The 4♥ completed the board and after the big blind checked, Choffardet moved all-in for 43,800.

The big blind called with 2♣2♥, but seemed to know that Choffardet had a better hand. He did indeed have the best hand with 9♦9♣.
