Tran Tampling On

It was battle of the blinds with Muhamet Perati in the small blind raising it up to 110,000. Nghi Van Tran in the big blind made the call and both players were witness to the {Q-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop. It was here that Perati check-called a bet of 55,000 from Tran.

The {j-Diamonds} on the turn saw two checks. The dealer then let fall the {a-Diamonds} for the river. Perati bet out 170,000, and Tran countered by making it 450,000. Perati quickly folded and Tran was awarded the pot.

Fishman With Trips

Muhamet Perati raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Ken Fishman defended his big blind. The flop of {3-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {10-Spades} is displayed and Fishman check-calls a 55,000 Perati bet. The {7-Hearts} is then checked through on the turn before Fishman draws 110,000 of value out of Perati after showing {J-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}; Perati mucked.

Tompkins and Campelo All-In

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jason Tompkins has moved in twice in succession, and both times he has picked up the blinds and antes. Then Luis Campelo moved all-in over a Joshua Kuether raise and Kuether tank folded.

Perati Picks Up the Pace

Muhamet Perati raised it up to 80,000 from the button and was quickly raised by Nghi Van Tran who three-bet to 225,000. After a few moments passed Perati announced all in for around 1,280,000. Tran took around three minutes off the clock before making the fold. Perati showed the {3-Diamonds} and was awarded the pot.

Fishman Doubles Through Van Tran

Ken Fishman must be glad that he returned from the break on time, because he has doubled up in the very first hand.

Nghi Van Tran raised to 100,000 in early position and Ken Fishman three-bet to 275,000 from the cutoff. The lively Van Tran moved all-in and Fishmann made the call and we had a flip.

Fishman{A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds}
Van Tran{J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Fishman needed some help and it arrived on the flop.

Board: {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {4-Clubs}

The Fishman stack was counted and verified as 735,000 and that's exactly how much was taken out of the Van Tran stack.
