Blom Busts Liu

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Viktor Blom
Viktor Blom

Bogdan Jontulovic had a bet of 28,000 on the table in middle position, and Viktor Blom had called on the button. Renmei Liu moved all in for his last 56,000 in the small blind, and Jontulovic announced a raise to 84,000.

Blom made the call, leaving Liu at risk as the 745 flop hit the felt. Both players checked to the 9 turn, where another check from Jontulovic was met with a bet of 86,000 from Blom.

Jontulovic got out of the way, and the remaining hands were turned up.

Renmei Liu: A10 All in
Viktor Blom: 109

Blom hit his pair on the turn, and Liu could not improve enough on the 7 river before wishing the table good luck and departing.

Nguyen Jams the River

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing AA8 and roughly 220,000 in the pot already.

Julio Chia checked from the small blind to the big blind Christopher Nguyen, who bet out 45,000. Chia made the call.

Both players checked the 4 on the turn, to see the Q on the river. Chia then bet out 100,000, and Nguyen took some time before moving all in for Chia's 210,000 remaining chips. Chia wasted no time and mucked his hand to give the pot to Nguyen.

Joshi's Ace is Best

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop with roughly 20,000 in the pot and the board showing 104A.

Neel Joshi in the big blind checked to Iuri Ribeiro from under the gun, and he bet out 10,000. He was called by both Eric Afriat in middle position, and Joshi.

All three players then checked to showdown after the 2 on the turn and 2 on the river. Joshi tabled A5 and his pair of aces was good to take the pot, as Ribeiro mucked, and Afriat showed the 10 before tossing his hand in the muck.
