Hasson Shows One

Adam Lamers

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

There was a raise to 1,300 in middle position and Ori Hasson called from the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of K♦Q♦3♦ and both players checked to the K♠ on the turn.

It checked to Hasson again who took a stab at the pot with a bet of 3,000. His opponent check-raised to 11,000 and Hasson called to see the J♦ on the river. It checked to Hasson again who splashed in a bet of 25,000, enough to cover his opponent who eventually folded. Hasson whipped over the 10♥ as he was awarded the pot.

In a three-way raised pot, the flop was 4♣J♣2♦ when Alan Goasdoue checked in the small blind and a player checked as well. The third player bet 1,500 and Goasdoue raised it to 5,500. Only the third player called and both checked on the 9♠ turn.

The 4♠ landed on the river and Goasdoue sent 20,000 in the middle. His opponent tanked for some time and eventually released his cards into the muck.

The board read J♠3♠2♠8♣ and Eric Haber tossed in a bet of 7,000 into a pot of around 25,000. The big blind check-raised to 25,500 and Haber pushed all in for 89,000. His opponent called and the cards were tabled.

Big Blind: 8♠5♠
Eric Haber: J♥J♦

Haber flopped a set of jacks but his opponent flopped a flush. However, the J♣ rolled off on the river to give Haber quad jacks. Once the stacks were counted, Haber barely had his opponent covered as he raked in a pot of over 200,000.
