Yanushev Busts One

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The board 3♦J♣K♥8♠ was already dealt in a heads-up pot when the big blind bet 1,000 to Martin Yanushev, who raised it to 4,000. The big blind shoved with a remaining stack around 15,000 and Yanushev snap-called.

Big Blind: K♦J♠
Martin Yanushev: 8♦8♥

The player at risk had two pair and stood up from his chair when he saw Yanushev had hit a set of eights. The 10♥ river didn't change anything and Yanushev took down the pot while his opponent exited the tournament area.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

2006 WSOP Main Event Champion Jamie Gold opened to 600 in the hijack. The cutoff called, as well as the button and the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♣8♣2♣. Gold made a continuation bet of 600. And this time, only the big blind called.

Both players checked on the turn 2♠. On the river 5♣, Gold bet again to 2,400. His opponent check-called, but couldn't do much against Gold's A♣5♥ for the best flush possible.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In a three-way pot, the board already read 3♥8♣8♦4♠ when Matt Affleck checked from the blinds and the hijack bet 1,200. The cutoff called and Affleck raised it to 4,000. His two opponents made the call.

The 3♦ double-paired the board on the river and the trio checked. Affleck tabled A♥4♥ and it was enough to win the pot as both his opponents mucked their hands.
