Monika Kostanjevec

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three players say the turn on 9♦5♠7♣J♣. Dario Sammartino was in the big blind and bet out for 2,300. Yayun Liu on the button called, as did the player in the small blind.

The river was the K♥. Both small blind and Sammartino checked to Liu, who made it 6,000. Small blind folded and Sammartino, after some thinking, called.

Liu turned over Q♦Q♣ and Sammartino mucked.

Maria Konnikova raised from under the gun before a player in middle position three-bet to 3,000 and after the rest of the table folded, Konnikova made the call.

Both players checked all the way down to the river on a runout of J♠5♦7♠10♠9♠. The middle position player flipped over A♣Q♠ to take down the pot with a queen-high flush

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was caught on the 9♥7♣6♠4♣ turn. Samuel Ju was sitting on the button and was heads up against the player in the small blind. The small blind went all in into a pot of around 17,000 chips. The all in was for Ju’s stack of a bit over 18,000. Ju thought about it and called.

Samuel Ju: 10♠9♦ All in
Small blind: 10♣6♣

Ju’s opponent had a pair and a flush draw on the turn, but the river was the J♦ and Ju got the double-up.

Nuez Makes a Heroic Call

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Guillermo Nuez just approached us to share a hand he just played.

There was a raise from under the gun to 1,200 and a three-bet to 3,600 the player in the next position. Nuez then cold four-bet to 8,800 from the hijack. The initial raiser folded but the lady who three-bet made the call.

Nuez's opponent led out for 4,500 on the 2x2x5♦ flop and Nuez made the call.

The 8♦ turn brought another lead of 6,500 from the early position player. Nuez tanked for a few moments before calling again.

The river brought a 5x and the lady in early position moved all in for Nuez's remaining stack of about 21,000. Nuez again thought for a few moments before making the call for his tournament life.

Nuez's opponent showed 6♥4♥ for just six-high. Nuez showed A♣K♠ for ace-high himself. His call down over three streets with just ace-high left Nuez shaking and with over 90,000 chips.
