Kalev Wins Multi-Way Pot

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Petar Kalev opened from early position to 16,000. Michael Mizrachi made the call from the hijack and the big blind came along as well.

On the flop of {a-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{3-Clubs}, all players checked. The {k-Clubs} hit the turn and the big blind and Kalev checked to Mizrachi who bet 26,000, which both players called.

The {6-Spades} completed the board and all players checked to a showdown. The big blind turned over {a-Spades}{5-Spades} and Kalev rolled over {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for top pair and better kicker. Mizrachi mucked his hand and the pot was shipped to Kalev.

Lin Picks Off a Bluff With Ace High

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The board read {5-}{7-}{6-}{5-}. Ren Lin called a bet of 15,000 from Johannes Straver.

The river was the {10-} to complete a paired board where no flushes were possible. Straver fired again for about 23,000. Lin called.

Straver tabled just queen-high with the {q-}{4-}. Lin had the {a-}{9-} for the winner with ace-high.

Lin wagged his finger at Straver, who has grown his stack in the first level despite losing a few chips to Lin.

Hall Goes For It On River

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Galen Hall
Galen Hall

In a three-way pot of roughly 100,000 on a board showing {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Galen Hall bet 100,000 from under the gun. The cutoff folded and Michael Jozoff made the call on the button.

The {6-Hearts} completed the board and Hall took a moment before moving all in for 217,000. Jozoff went in the tank, deciding what to do.

"I think you have it," said Jozoff, as he was thinking on what to do. Jozoff eventually folded and the large pot was sent to Hall who tabled {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for missed draw and only eight-high.

"He didn't have it," said Jozoff after seeing the bluff. "I kind of had it on the turn," replied Hall after having a huge draw but missed all the outs.
