Hassan Busts Boskovic Sr

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Dejan Boskovic Sr
Dejan Boskovic Sr

In a battle cutoff versus button, the stack of Dejan Boskovic Sr went in preflop and Hussein Hassan snap-called for a very specific reason.

Dejan Boskovic Sr: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}
Hussein Hassan: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

The {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop didn't provide any additional sweat yet, but the {k-Spades} turn gave Boskovic Sr a flush draw. A blank {k-Hearts} followed on the river and that sent Boskovic Sr to the rail. He may still re-enter until the start of level 10.

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Mladen Vukovic raised to 3,200 from the button and Dejan Boskovic Sr defended his big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades}, Boskovic Sr check-called the 4,300 continuation-bet of Vukovic.

They then both checked through the {4-Spades} on the turn and the {q-Diamonds} on the river for Boskovic Sr to pick up the pot with {7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the flopped two pair.

Early Profit for Young

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Soon after sitting down for his third bullet, Rory Young defended his big blind against a raise to 3,500 by Tom Rafferty on the button. Young check-raised a bet of 3,500 on the {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop to 10,500 and that did the trick to force a fold from Rafferty.

Young also won a showdown hand in a battle of the blinds with Hun Wei Lee in the next hand to build an early profit in the third attempt.

Vukovic Gets the Fold

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The board read {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Spades} with around 22,000 in the middle already. Both Michael Egan in the hijack and Mladen Vukovic in the cutoff checked.

The river completed the board with the {4-Spades}, Egan checked and now Vukovic bet 32,000. Egan looked at his cards once more before letting them go.

Wang Takes From Lee

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
David Wang
David Wang

David Wang raised to 3,200 and picked up two callers including Qiang Fu on his second bullet and Hun Wei Lee in the big blind. Only Lee check-called a continuation bet on the {10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop and they checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn. Lee then bet the {k-Diamonds} river for 17,500 and Wang made the call after some consideration.

Lee tabled {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a rivered pair of kings, which Wang had beat with {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} for the superior kicker.

Laoyont Eliminated by Ragozzini

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Patrick Laoyont
Patrick Laoyont

Down to his last 5,100, Patrick Laoyont moved all in and was called by Nauvneel Kashyap on the button and Sean Ragozzini in the big blind. The flop brought {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Ragozzin check-called a bet of 5,000 by Kashyap.

Both checked the {6-Diamonds} turn and Ragozzini then bet the {q-Diamonds} river for 14,500.

Kashyap gave it some consideration and folded. Ragozzini turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the queen-high straight and Laoyont mucked {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} to become the latest casualty.
