Approximate Counts from the Feature Table

Ivey and Lamb Butt Heads

Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey

From the hijack seat, Antonio Esfandiari raised to 38,000. Ben Lamb called on the button and Phil Ivey called from the big blind.

The flop came down {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} and Ivey checked. Esfandiari bet 52,000 and Lamb called. Ivey also called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and Ivey checked. Esfandiari checked and then Lamb bet 185,000. Only Ivey called to see the river.

The {3-Spades} completed the board and Ivey checked. Lamb fired 750,000 and Ivey thought for a little. He asked how much the bet was for and then thought a little bit longer. Ivey eventually folded and Lamb won the pot.

"I meant to make it 650,000," said Lamb after Ivey folded. Either way, he won the pot.

Perkins Flops Trips

Jonathan Duhamel opened to 45,000 on the button, Bill Perkins three-bet to 118,000 from the small blind, and Duhamel called. The dealer spread {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}, and Perkins led out for 115,000. Duhamel called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs}, both players knuckled, and the {2-Hearts} completed the board. Perkins led out for 150,000, and Duhamel called. Perkins tabled {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for trip kings, and Duhamel mucked.

Katchalov Moves All In

Mikhail Smirnov, John Morgan, and Eugene Katchalov took a flop of {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. Smirnov checked, Morgan bet 75,000, and both Katchalov and Morgan called. The turn was the {2-Spades}, and Smirnov checked again. Morgan tossed out 125,000, and Katchalov moved all in.

Smirnov quickly folded, and Morgan shook his head, checked his cards one last time, then sent them into the muck.

"Good bet," he told Katchalov.

More for Malibu

Haralabos Voulgaris opened for 40,000 under the gun and received four callers, including Giovanni "Malibu" Guarascio in the cutoff. When the flop came down {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, action checked to Malibu and he bet 90,000. It proved enough to take down the pot and Malibu increased his short stack by 160,000.

A Really Fun Call

Gus Hansen check-called a bet from Noah Schwartz with the board reading {4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and the {7-Diamonds} completed the board. Hansen checked again, and Schwartz bet 458,000.

"It really would be a fun call," Hansen announced. "It's already a fun call. It's a really fun call. It's a really fun call. Fun call. What can I beat? Find a hand you can beat."

Hansen called, and Schwartz tabled {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a flopped flush. Hansen released, and Schwartz is almost back up to starting stack.
