Level 2 : 300/600, 600 ante
Krasimir Yankov
Krasimir Yankov

On a flop of {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}, John Riordan checked and Krasimir Yankov bet 4,500. Riordan then check-raised the pot to 22,800 and Yankov came along. The {10-Hearts} turn brought a second flush draw and Riordan fired a pot-sized bet of 54,900, earning a call from Yankov.

Both checked the {8-Hearts} on the river and Riordan tabled the {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a set of sevens and busted open-ender. Yankov had that beat with the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs} for the seven-high straight and dragged in a very healthy pot soon after entering the field.

Katz Gets Caught Bluffing by Pärssinen

Level 2 : 300/600, 600 ante

Eelis Pärssinen defended the big blind and check-called a bet on the {k-Hearts}{7-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop. Both then checked the {q-Spades} on the turn. Pärssinen also checked the {5-Diamonds} on the river and Aaron Katz bet 10,000.

After a few seconds of consideration, Pärssinen called and Katz announced "you got it, three sixes and a king" without showing his cards. Pärssinen rolled over {j-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for sevens and fours to win the pot.

Small Pot for Brewer

Level 1 : 300/500, 500 ante

There are a few very large pots happening but most hands result in limited action with the conclusion either before the flop or after. One of them saw an open raise by Farid Jattin and he was called by Eelis Pärssinen and Chris Brewer out of the blinds.

Pärssinen and Brewer checked the {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop and Jattin continued for 2,000, which Pärssinen called. Brewer then check-raised to 7,000 and that got the job done to force two folds.
