Lybaert Forced to Fold

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Bart Lybaert entered the field a while ago and he has good memories regarding the marathon. Lybaert finished 3rd last year behind Mark Sleet and Michael Addamo. Some would say Lybaert is off to a false start in this marathon.

The complete {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board was out there and Lybaert fired a bet of 3,000 in a pot of 4,300 from the big blind. His opponent raised all in for about 18,300 in total and Lybaert peeked another time at his cards before folding.

Ott Chipping Down

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

A player opened to 500 and it was called by Dillon Ott in the big blind.

The flop revealed {8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades} and Ott check-called a continuation bet for 700. The same action happened on the turn {10-Hearts}, this time for 1,600.

The river fell a {3-Spades} and Ott checked once more before calling a last bet worth 3,800 but mucked his hand when his opponent showed {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for the flush.

Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

A player opened to 600 and Niall Farrell called from the small blind, followed by the big blind player.

The flop fell {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and the initial raiser continued for 800 after Farrell and the third player checked. Farrell check-raised to 2,300 and only the initial raiser made the call.

The turn was the {2-Spades} Farell checked and so did his opponent after a long time in the tank. On the river {7-Spades}, Farrell checked once more and quickly folded after his opponent bet 3,400.

Reskallah Leaves Himself Short; Makes Correct Fold

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

Aladin Reskallah had checked on the {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades} board and he was facing a bet of 1,300 by Mikhail Sokolovskiy. He called the bet after a third player folded and the {10-Diamonds} river card completed the board.

Reskallah checked again and Sokolovskiy put him all in for his last 3,700. Reskallah thought about it for a while and then asked Sokolovskiy if he had ace-king.

Reskallah folded {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} face up and Sokolovskiy announced ''good fold'' while he showed {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}.

Worre Finds a Double Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

In a six-way pot, the flop read {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{q-Hearts} when Lily Kiletto bet 1,200 from the under the gun position after the players in the blinds checked. A player folded and it was only called by the hijack, the cutoff, and Eric Worre in small blind.

On the turn {10-Diamonds}, Worre checked and so did Kiletto and the hijack player. The cutoff player bet 6,500 and Worre shoved for his remaining stack worth 20,000. Kiletto folded and after a few minutes, the cutoff made the call.

Eric Worre: {9-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Cutoff: {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Worre turned the straight and a {6-Clubs} fell on the river, giving him the big pot.
