Mavro Picks a Good Spot to Three-Bet Bluff

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

After the player first to act raised to 450 and received one caller, Peter Mavro three-bet to 2,225. Both the initial raiser and caller both flatted the three-bet to see the {7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop three-ways. However, all three players opted to check.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds} and the player first to act bet 1,800. The next player folded before Mavro moved all in for 14,525. His opponent made the call and the hands were turned face up.

Mavro: {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Mavro had to avoid the board pairing the river and did so when it fell the {5-Hearts}. He now has 37,000 while his opponent is left with just 3,500.

Nguyen Looks Up Saul

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player in early position raised to 450 and was called by John Nguyen to his left and Kevin Saul out of the big blind. The flop was {6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} which was checked by both Saul and the preflop raiser. Nguyen took this opportunity to bet 550 but was check-raised by Saul to 1,550. The third player got of the way and Nguyen made the call.

The turn was the {k-Diamonds}, Saul continued for 2,350 and was called. The river was the {k-Spades} and Saul bet again, this time 3,500. Saul tabled {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Nguyen shipped the pot by flipping over {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}.

Nguyen is now up to 21,000 while Saul falls to 19,000.

The river came {2-Spades} and Batista check-called 4,500.

Alvarez tabled {10-Spades} {8-Spades} for a runner-runner flush and Batista grimaced as he flashed the {K-Clubs}.

Laha Pushes Lee off his Hand

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught the action on a {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board with a pot worth 2,600 being contested five ways. Action had checked to Duke Laha and he had bet 2,000. Bernard Lee, who had previously checked, was the only caller.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Lee led for 2,700. Laha pushed his last 7,200 in the middle and Lee thought for a bit before folding angrily. Laha eased his troubles by tabling the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}.

Laha now has 9,300 while Lee falls to 15,000.
