Donovan Relents to Geidans' Flop Shove

Kai Cocklin

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Fabian Donovan had raised to 1,200 from under the gun and Farhad Akbari called from a few seats down. Vilnis Geidans then three-bet to 4,500 from the cutoff and Donovan four-bet to 12,000. Akbari got out of the way, and Geidans called.

They went to a flop of 7♣9♦3♥ where Donovan made a continuation-bet of 7,500, and Geidans shoved. Donovan had just under 20,000 remaining in his stack and after thinking it over, he opted to preserve them and folded.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action was picked up with Anthony Field having 1,600 chips in front of him preflop from middle position, and Abraham Gozum called in the hijack. Alexandru-Andrei Abalasei then three-bet the cutoff to 3,600, which both Field and Gozum called.

They went to a flop of 3♦6♥2♦ where it checked to Abalasei, who fired 4,000. Field folded, and Gozum called.

On the 5♣ turn, Gozum checked and Abalasei bet 10,000. Gozum shoved for around 20,000, and Abalasei reluctantly tossed in the call.

Abraham Gozum: 4♣4♠ All in
Alexandru-Andrei Abalasei: Q♠Q♣

Abalasei was drawing slim to a chop as Gozum had turned a straight, but sometimes in poker, it's only a slim chance that you need as the 4♦ rolled off on the river, which put a straight on board.

Abalasei was pleased to get his chips back, Gozum...probably not so much.

Abraham Gozum	30,000 30,000	30,000

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Danh Cong Tran opened from early position and Simon Higgins three-bet to 2,800 from middle position. When it got back to Tran, he called.

They both saw a flop of J♥K♥2♦ where Tran check-called a bet of 3,800 from Higgins to see the K♠ turn, where Tran went into check-call mode again after Higgins fired 7,000.

When the 5♣ landed on the river, both players checked it down and Tran's flopped pair of jacks with A♥J♦ was good as Higgins mucked.

"Too many outs," said Higgins as the pot was being pushed in his opponent's direction.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 8,000 chips already in the middle on a flop of 4♥5♥7♦, Vilnis Geidans fired 3,200 from the big blind, and only Max Downdall called on the button.

On the Q♥ turn, Geidans bet 4,000, which Downdall called to see the 4♦ river, which was checked to showdown.

Geidans showed 10♥10♠ for a pair of tens, which beat the 6♠6♦ of Downdall, who missed a flopped open-ended straight draw.

Trattou Among Chip Leaders Early

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

There were around 12,000 chips in the middle on a board of 9♠5♦2♥4♥ when Tarajmeer Kakar checked it over to Mario Trattou, who fired 4,000. Kakar called.

A K♥ on the river completed the backdoor flush draw, and both players quickly checked it down where Trattou showed J♥J♣, and Kakar mucked his hand.

It's been a good opening shift for Trattou, who has built a stack of around 90,000 as the first break approaches.
