Karakitukov Loses a Small One

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Three ways to the {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} river, Veselin Karakitukov bet 5,000 out of the big blind into a pot of around 9,500. Sean Dechancie then raised it up to 18,200 and that forced out the player on the button.

Karakitukov gave it some thought and came to the same conclusion as he didn't take any further chances.

Bleznick Fires Three Barrels

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Jared Bleznick raised to 1,100 in the cutoff and was called by Daemon Richardson in the small blind.

On the monotone {j-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} flop, Bleznick continued for 1,200 after Richardson checked.

Richardson check-called that bet, along with bets of 1,500 on the {4-Hearts} turn and a meatier 6,200 on the {3-Clubs} river.

"I think you're gonna win," said Bleznick after he was called the final time.

Richardson showed {j-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, for a flopped two pair which was good enough to take the pot from the sports card guru.

Schwartz Scores a Lucky Double

Noah Schwartz
Noah Schwartz

Three ways to the {j-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{4-Spades} with plenty of chips already in the middle, Alfie Adam bet 13,000 and was called by Noah Schwartz only while Yehoshua Saadon folded. The {7-Hearts} turn brought the all-in of Schwartz and Adam snap-called with the former at risk for 25,600.

Noah Schwartz: {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Alfie Adam: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Schwartz had the worse straight but also two pair and was on his way out. However, the {7-Clubs} fell on the river and that improved Schwartz to a full house.

Liu Loses a Small Pot

Level 2 : 200/300, 300 ante

Sasha Liu limped in and the small blind then pulled one of his chips back before he all but string-bet to 1,200 total. Liu complained about that and the floor was called while both traded some words about a potential slowroll in the previous hand they played against each other.

Ultimately, the raise stood and Liu called as they headed to the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades} flop. The small blind continued for 1,300 and Liu sent her cards into the muck.
