Eun Shin Puts Massive Pressure on Cotant

Tyler Foran

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With a sizable pot already brewed, the flop read J♠10♠3♦. Adam Cotant was faced with a bet of 42,000 after checking to Byung Eun Shin. After some deliberation, Cotant made the call.

The 9♥ landed on the turn and Cotant checked once again. Eun Shin cut out a pile of red chips with a few yellows on top for a total of 84,000 and slid it across the line. Cotant went into the tank for several minutes, counting out the exact amount of chips to call.

Another few seconds passed and he pitched the cards into the muck as the dealer shipped the pot to Eun Shin.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Barry Schultz raised to 13,000 in middle position before immediately getting three-bet to 28,000 by Caleb Piderit next to act. The table folded behind and Schultz made the call.

On the Q♥J♠7♦ flop, Schultz check-called a bet of 24,000. When the 8♦ hit the turn, Schultz checked again and Piderit fired out a bet of 43,000. Schultz wasted no time making the call.

The 3♠ hit the river and Schultz instantly checked. Piderit gave it a few seconds before knuckling the table as he said, "I think I win, very nitty check-back."

Schultz tabled A♥Q♠ for top pair top kicker, but was shown the bad news as Piderit flopped middle set, tabling the J♣J♦.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vincent Moscati limped in the cutoff before Sergio Benso raised to 24,000 on the button. The blinds quickly folded and the action was back on Moscati who announced all-in. Benso went into the tank and for a count after about a minute. The dealer let him know it was 117,000 and he pushed a stack of 5,000 chips across the line to make the call.

Vincent Moscati: 10♠10♥
Sergio Benso: J♣J♠

Moscati looked to be in disgust as the hands were revealed, however, the 10♦7♠2♠ flop changed his mood, giving him top set. He was able to fade the two outs of his opponent as the board completed with the 4♦ on the turn and the 2♣ on the river.

Ollie Garland

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The player in the hijack made a raise of 8,000 which made its way around to Joseph Driscoll in the big blind who put in the extra 4,000 to defend.

On a paired board of 6♠6♣K♠ Driscoll checked over to the aggressor who continued for 5,000, to which he responded with a raise to 15,000. The hijack called.

The 8♣ fell on the turn and Driscoll placed one last bet of 18,000 getting the fold and the pot.

Jim Murray

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mark Liedtke open jammed a short stack from early position and was promptly called by Thomas Ross in the small blind, who had Liedtke covered.

Mark Liedtke Q♥J♠
Thomas Ross K♠K♦

The flop of 4♣6♠A♥ was no help to Liedtke, but the door to victory would swing open ever so slightly on the Q♠ turn, providing Liedtke with five more cards to win. However, the 2♣ on the river would slam it shut, sending Liedtke to the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in the hijack raised to 8,000. On the button was Elias Aeb who three-bet up to 22,000. It folded back around to the hijack who made the call.

On a board of 10♠8♦4♣4♥, once checked to Aeb continued for 12,000 and 22,000 on the flop and turn respectively, each called by his opponent.

The river came the A♠. Again checked to, Aeb announced to the table "I'm about to make a really nitty check" as he tabled A♥10♥ for top two pair. His opponent mucked and Aeb scooped the pot.
