Tenaerts Is Afforded the Pot without a Showdown

Ollie Garland

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

The pot stood at approximately 5,500 with two players looking at a board of 7♥8♠A♣K♣.

Sacha Tenaerts, in the small blind, bet out for 3,500. The player on the button made the call.

The 7♦ river slowed down Tenaerts with a check. The button thought about his decision before choosing to launch his cards into the muck; despite being offered a free showdown from Tenaerts, the button relinquished this pot without a fight.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

After an open by the player in the cutoff, Jules Varvat defended from the big blind.

On a flop of 7♠Q♣5♥, Varvat check-called for 800, and check-called again after the cutoff fired a second barrel of 1,200.

The 10♣ completed the board but brought no more action, so Varvat flipped over Q♦J♦ for top pair. His opponent sent his cards into the muck.

"You had the A♠," the player in the small blind said before he folded. "I have the straight," Aviko said, while revealing the 4♣.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Marius Conan opened to 1,000 from the hijack and was called by the cutoff. However Moulay Driss Toujri on the button three-bet to make the blinds fold.

The action came back to Conan who four-bet to 11,500. Toujri called.

Conan continued for 2,500 on the 2♦4♦6♦ flop and received a call, then both players checked the A♥.

On the 6♣ river, Conan bet 5,000. Toujri eventually called but couldn't do much against Conan's A♦A♠.
