Kerignard Dodges Queens?

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Yorane Kerignard and Jackson Genovesi have been going at each other all day long and we can only imagine what the hole cards have been. Genovesi says he has three-bet with {10-}{5-} at least once but this time when he three-bet over the top of Kerignard's opening raise, Kerignard quickly folded

"This time I had a good hand," said Genovesi before asking Kerignard to pick a card.

"This is a queen," declared Kerignrd before turning over the {Q-Hearts}.

"See, I told you were too good," said Genovesi.

Isaia Rivers a Straight

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Yorane Kerignard was on the button and he set the price to play at 60,000. Alessio Isaia called and Jackson Genovesi decided to not actually play a hand for once.

Isaia check-called the 55,000 bet on a {6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop and again on the {k-Diamonds} turn when Kerignard bet 95,000. Isaia checked again when the {Q-Clubs} made an appearance on the river but was disappointed when Kerignard checked behind.

His disappointment was caused by the fact he held {A-Spades}{10-Hearts} and had backed into a straight and Kerignard failed to fire three barrels.

Alessio Isaia opened to 80,000 on the button and next to act was Jackson Genovesi three-bet to 200,000. Yorane Kerignard folded but Isaia had other ideas and he moved all-in for a shade over 900,000.

"You have the good old ace-nine yeah? Good shove," said Genovesi as he folded his hand.

Preflop Aggression Not Being Followed Through

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The last five hands have seen preflop raises from the button and a call from whichever player was in the big blind but then they have checked down the boards each time. One of them needs to rediscover their aggression because otherwise they will be passing the blinds around all night long.

Genovesi Makes Laydown Against His Judgement

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jackson Genovesi has just made a lay down that he says he thinks was bad

Yorane Kerignard opened to 80,000 on the button and Genovesi called in the big blind. The {3-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs} flop contained more clubs that the town centre of St Julian's here in Malta and Genovesi check-called a 50,000 bet from his opponent. The {A-Diamonds} saw Genovesi check, then fold, to a 180,000 bet.
