Oganyan Wins Without Showing

Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aram Oganyan opened to 4,500 from under the gun. The player in the small blind called and Matt Hunt called from the big blind.

All three players checked the board of 9♦8♣3♥Q♥ to see the K♣ come on the river. This time the small blind fired out a bet of 5,500. Hunt folded but Oganyan put in the call. The small blind instantly mucked and Oganyan won the pot without having to reveal his holding.

Brek Schutten check-called a bet of 3,500 from Andrew Lichtenberger on the 6♦A♠2♦ flop.

The 6♣ on the turn got checked through for the 9♣ to come on the river. After Schutten checked, Lichtenberger put in a bet of 17,500. Schutten called and the cards were revealed. Lichtenberger turned over A♦5♦ and Schutten showed A♥8♥, which resulted in a chopped pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aliaksandr Shylko opened to 4,500 before Jonathan Little reraised to 14,000 from the small blind. Pavels Spirins was in the big blind and jammed for 51,000. Shylko folded before Little put in calling chips.

Pavels Spirins: A♠K♣ All in
Jonathan Little: A♣Q♥

Spirins had Little dominated and scooped in a double-up after the 4♦4♠A♥2♥9♦ runout.

Little was left with 40,500 and the following hand, he made it 4,000 from the button. Bin Weng put Little all in from the big blind and after the latter used a time bank, he called.

Jonathan Little: A♣5♠ All in
Bin Weng: K♥Q♣

Weng missed the J♣2♥8♣5♣7♥ runout, meaning Little's pair of fives was enough to take the pot.
