Jouhkimainen Forces Out Chen

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Joni Jouhkimainen
Joni Jouhkimainen

It all started rather innocent with a raise to 5,500 in the cutoff by James Chen and a call by Joni Jouhkimainen in the big blind. What followed were three barrels by Chen on the {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop for 7,000, on the {j-Spades} turn for 20,000 and {8-Diamonds} river for 70,000. Jouhkimainen check-called the first two bets and check-raised to 205,000 after the final bet to force a fold from Chen.

Straight for Schreiber

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Matthew Schreiber raised to 5,000 from middle position, and the player in the big blind three-bet to 16,000.

Schreiber called, and on the {5-Spades}{10-Spades}{q-Spades} flop, he called a continuation-bet of 12,000.

The turn fell the {2-Spades}, and now the big blind checked. Schreiber bet 24,000 and his opponent called before the {k-Hearts} checked through on the river.

Schreiber tabled his {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a straight, and his opponent mucked.

Mermelstein Takes From Seidel

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Firas Sadou limped in and Aaron Mermelstein raised to 9,000, which Erik Seidel on the button and Laszlo Bujtas in the big blind called, while Sadou folded.

On the {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop all three active players checked to the {10-Spades} turn and Bujtas check-folded to a bet of 8,000 by Mermelstein and a call from Seidel. There was no betting action on the {2-Hearts} river and Mermelstein turned over {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for a flush to scoop the pot.

With 33,000 in the middle and the flop reading {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, Alexey Makarov led out for 23,000 from the big blind.

Nick Schulman was in the cutoff and he called as the {6-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Makarov tossed out 100,000 but was bound to the pot-sized bet of 79,000.

Schulman deliberated for roughly a minute and then folded.
