Paur Power

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 2,000 ante
Taylor Paur
Taylor Paur

Taylor Paur was suddenly sitting with a huge stack in front of him and Jonathan Abdellatif was kind enough to tell the live reporting team what had happened.

Bahman Jahanguiri raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and Paur three-bet to 104,000 in the small blind. Jahanguiri four-bet to 300,000 and Paur five-bet shoved with the bigger stack. Jahanguiri snap-called with ace-king. Paur held pocket aces though and those held for him, while eliminating Jahanguiri in the process.

Abdellatif Wins Some of Staszko

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 2,000 ante

Martin Staszko raised to 23,000 from middle position and Jonathan Abdellatif called in the hijack.

The flop came {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs}, Staszko check-called the 37,000 bet of Abdellatif.

They both checked through the {q-Diamonds} on the turn to the {a-Clubs} on the river. Staszko checked for the last time. Abdellatif bet 140,000 which seem to bewilder Staszko. Staszko kept looking at the board and Abdellatif. Abdellatif just kept staring in front of him. Staszko folded in the end but even while Abdellatif was stacking up his chips, Staszko kept looking over to him.
