Budovsky Sends Welsh Home to His Wife

Kirk Brown

Level 18 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

"I told my wife i would make it to dinner earlier, but now I can only make it to dessert," birthday boy Kerry Welsh joked as he put most of his chips into the middle preflop and Daniel Budovsky just called.

On the flop A♦7♥8♣, Welsh moved the rest of his chips in and Budovsky quickly called.

"I think I send you to your wife this time," he said as he rolled over A♥8♠ for two pair.

"Yeah, I think you got it," Welsh replied as he tabled 5♣5♠, needing some help.

The runout of J♣4♠ changed nothing and Budovsky was awarded the pot while Welsh went off to celebrate his birthday with his wife, now $3,024 richer.

Level 18 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

Florian Pesce opened under the gun and Daniel Budovsky three-bet next to act. The action folded back around to Pesce and he made the call.

Both players checked to the A♥K♥6♣10♠ turn where Pesce fired a bet and Budovsky called.

The 8♦ fell on the river and Pesce shot another bet across the line.

Budovsky gave it a few seconds of thought while saying aloud, "I don't know if I'm good enough to fold this hand. I have ace-king, I call."

Budosky rolled over A♠K♠, and Pesce silently pushed his cards face down into the muck.

Israelashvili checked once more and Kakon fired a bet. Israelashvili wasted no time making the call.

"You win," said Kakon as he pitched his cards into the muck. Israelashvili tabled J♠7♠ as the dealer pushed him the pot.

Level 18 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

After check-calling for two streets on the board J♣10♦4♠7♠, Phil Hellmuth checked once more on the river 2♦ and Robert Wells decided to check back.

Hellmuth then flipped over K♣Q♦ for a missed straight and king-high, which looked like it was going to be good for a second, but then Wells rolled over A♦9♦ for ace-high to take the pot.

Level 18 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

After a series of raises before the flop Brian Tate was all-in for 47,000, while Florian Pesce and Daniel Maczuga both put 48,000 in the middle.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♠4♣2♠, and Maczuga check-called a bet from Pesce.

When the K♠ hit the turn, Maczuga check-folded to another bet from Pesce and both hands were tabled.

Brian Tate: K♣K♥ All in
Florian Pesce: 8♠8♥

Tate was way out in front with his pocket tens and the 7♥ river changed nothing as he raked in the triple-up.

Level 18 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

William Kakon had just run into the aces of Alex Keating a couple of hands prior to fall short-stacked and was back in the mix as he raised under the gun. Frank Yakubson three-bet next to act, and Nick Caltabiano called in the big blind. Kakon called for his last 30,000.

When the 10♣8♦4♦ flop hit the felt, Caltabiano quickly check-folded to a bet from Yakubson.

William Kakon: Q♥4♥
Frank Yakubson: K♠10♠

Both players flopped a pair but Yakubson was ahead with his pair of tens. The 3♥ turn and 5♠ river were no help for Kakon as he stood up from the table.
