Moshe Calls Out Correct Cards; Loses Pot

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With some 20,000 in the middle to the 8♣4♥4♦5♥K♥ river, Asi Moshe moved all-in with the covering stack and that sent Nicholas Civitarese deep into the tank.

After three minutes, Civitarese asked "what do you think I have?" and Moshe almost instantly replied "seven eight of hearts".

Civitarese tanked another minute and then called all-in for 36,000 to show his ... 8♥7♥! Moshe was caught with a move holding the 6♥6♣ and dropped below the starting stack.

"I think he folds if you don't say anything," Javier Zarco remarked.

Martin Jacobson raised on the button and got called by Kyle Chang in the big blind to see a flop 10♦K♣6♦. Chang check-raised to 5,500 Jacobson's continuation of 2,000 and the latter called.

The A♠ turn didn't bring any action and a 8♣ landed on the river. Chang sent 10,100 in the middle and after some thinking, Jacobson let it go.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Jose Montes opened to 1,800 in middle position and was called by James Gregg on his left. Espen Jorstad three-bet to 7,400 on the button and both Montes and Gregg called.

The flop fell 10♥8♠3♥ and the action checked around to the 6♠ on the turn. Montes led out with a bet of 11,000 which Gregg called and Jorstad stepped aside.

The river was the 2♠ and Montes fired out another bet of 12,000. Gregg raised to 41,000 which sent Montes into the tank for nearly three minutes before he finally dumped his cards in the muck.

The reigning 2022 Main Event champion is still off to a strong start on Day 2abc after scoring an early knockout with pocket kings.

Andrew Knowles

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Martin Nielsen opened to 2,000 from middle position and it folded to the big blind who made the call.

The flop came K♠J♥4♠ and the big blind check-called a bet of 1,800 from Nielsen. On the 7♠ turn both players checked their options to the A♣ river.

The big blind took some time before tossing out a bet of 12,000 and Nielsen went deep into the tank. After close to a minute, Nielsen made the call and the cards were shown.

The big blind tabled J♦6♦ for a pair of jacks and Nielsen rolled over A♦10♠ for the rivered ace to score the pot.

After checks on a 3♠2♣5♣ flop and a 9♦ turn in a three-bet pot, Sachin Joshi checked again to Adam Friedman..

Friedman pondered for a moment, and then put a tiny bet of 1,100 in, which was still enough to get through, and further add to Friedman's Day 2 chip count.

Ollie Garland

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Only Shaun Deeb in middle position and Shahar Levi in the hijack remained in the hand as the board read 2♠Q♦4♠7♦.

Deeb checked the action to Levi who bet out for 12,500 into a pot of approximately 20,000. Deeb made the call.

The K♣ fell on the river and again Deeb checked. Levi contemplated his decision for some time before finally deciding to check back.

Deeb quickly tabled J♣J♥ but seemed visibly frustrated as Levi showed A♠K♠, having just got there on the river.

Ben Lamb raised it up from under the gun and picked up two callers. The flop came 9♦5♣2♠ and Lamb continued with a bet of 2,600. The button folded but Alberto Cigliano called from the big blind.

The turn brought the Q♥ and Cigliano check-called another bet of 6,700 from Lamb. The 5♦ paired the board on the river and Cigliano checked again. Lamb gave it some thought but decided to check it back. Cigliano turned over 9♠7♦ for a pair of nines and Lamb conceded.

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Dalton Hobold in the cutoff, button Juan Endara, and two opponents in early position put in 2,700 before Victoria Livschitz three-bet to 15,500 out of the big blind.

Only Hobold and Endara called to the 8♣10♥9♥ flop, where Livschitz now checked. Hobold fired out 19,000 and Endara tossed in two green 25,000 chips, raising to 50,000.

Livschitz quickly folded, while Hobold tanked for a few minutes before shoving all in. Endara practically beat him in the pot for his last 87,000.

Juan Endara: Q♥J♥
Dalton Hobold: 8♦8♠

Hobold had flopped a set, but Endara had the nut straight as he stood up from his seat and began filming the action. Hobold needed the board to pair to send out his opponent, but he missed the A♣ turn and J♦ river as Endara earned a massive double up.
