Kisacikoglu Can't Bluff Out Garbi

Connor Richards

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ravid Garbi opened to 125,000 on the button and Orpen Kisacikoglu defended in the big blind.

The flop of Q♥A♦Q♦ checked through and the same action took place on the 4♠ turn. Kisacikoglu then bet 170,000 on the J♦ river and Garbi called.

Kisacikoglu could only show ten-high with 10♣7♣ as Garbi rolled over J♥7♥ to win the pot with a pair of jacks.

"Now you don't want to fold!" laughed Kisacikoglu.

Flashback: Yinan Zhou Bluffs Poker's Toughest Opponent to Win 2024 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event

Level 15 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Last year at Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas, 24-year-old Yinan Zhou bluffed poker's toughest opponent, busted his poker idol and became the first-ever World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise Super Main Event champion as he won the $25,000 buy-in event in The Bahamas for $6,000,000 and his first bracelet.

The Super Main Event, a $50 million guaranteed event, drew 1,978 runners across four live starting flights and three online flights.

China's Zhou pulled off an impressive bluff against chip leader and sixth-place finisher Michael Addamo, who a few years ago was nominated for "Players Choice for Toughest Opponent" at the GPI awards.

"I'm feeling calm, to be honest," Zhou said. "When I started the final table nine-handed ... I (felt) very nervous, especially the big river bluff against Addamo. But when we got down to six, I (felt) very calm ... I just enjoy(ed) this final table."

Kaelaine Minton

Level 15 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

On the last hand before the break on the Lagoon feature table, Hila Klein limped in the cutoff, Jean-Robert Bellande called from the small blind, and Bryn Kenney checked his option.

On the flop of Q♠5♣3♣, Bellande led for 75,000 with his flush draw, Kenney called, then Klein raised to 250,000, committing about half her stack. Bellande moved in for 1,215,000, Kenney folded, and Klein called all in for 520,000.

Hila Klein: Q♥6♥ All in
Jean-Robert Bellande: K♣2♣

Klein was ahead with top pair of queens, but had to fade a lot of outs with Bellande's king and flush draw. The 5♥ turn was a safe card for Klein, but the 8♣ on the river was a killer, completing Bellande's flush. Klein was felted as the rest of the table headed out for their break.
