Zubov Gets Called Lightly

Adam Lamers

Level 29 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Ren Lin opened to 2,400,000 on the button with Q♠9♦ and was called by Michael Addamo in the small blind with 7♣6♣. Alexander Zubov shipped all in for 9,900,000 in the big blind with 5♠5♥ which got called by Lin and Addamo stepped aside.

The flop came A♦J♥J♣ and the pair of fives from Zubov was still in the lead. The 2♥ on the turn was clean and the K♣ on the river ensured him of an early double up with just three tables remaining.

What is a player to do when they love tournament poker, their mind allows them to compete against the best of the best, but their body doesn’t want to cooperate? That’s a question “Texas” Mike Moncek, who suffers from a heart condition, asked himself Wednesday night after playing in the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Event #7: $100,000 Triton Main Event.

The tournament, which is being live reported by PokerNews, attracted 182 entrants and offered up an $18,200,000 prize pool. On Day 2, a little over 40 players remained when Texas Mike, in his own words, “punted.”

Level 29 : 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Yinan Zhou opened to 2,500,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Sebastian Toro in the big blind. The call was made and the dealer revealed the 8♥A♥J♣ flop.

Toro checked, with Zhou following suit to see the 6♥ turn. Another pair of checks led to the Q♣ river, where Toro tapped the table again.

Zhou slid out a bet of 2,500,000, good enough to claim the pot as Toro mucked.

Level 29 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Liv Boeree opened to 2,500,000 in early position with A♥9♥ and Michael Addamo three-bet to 7,000,000 in the cutoff. Yang Wang four-bet shoved all in for 14,000,000 in the big blind which got Boeree to fold but Addamo called.

Yang Wang: A♣K♥ All in
Michael Addamo: K♣J♥

The flop fell 9♣9♦7♣ and Wang's ace-high was still in the lead. The 2♠ on the turn and the A♦ on the river secured the double up for Wang, although Boeree gave a reaction for what would have been a full house for her.

Sebastian Toro raised to 2,500,000 from the hijack and was called by Sirzat Hissou on the button and Marcelo Aziz in the big blind. The flop came A♦K♦5♥ and Toro continued with a bet of 2,500,000. Hissou called and Aziz got out of the way.

The turn brought the K♣ and both players checked through to the 7♦ on the river. Toro checked again and Hissou tapped the table as well. Toro turned over A♠8♦ but Hissou held A♥9♥ for the better kicker to claim the pot.
