Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was caught on the river on the board 4♥5♣8♠4♦Q♦. According to the players, both flop and turn had been checked around.

On the river, Ricardo Velasco bet 11,500 from middle position into a pot of around 15,000. The player on the button went all in for around 55,000.

Velasco snap-called the all-in.

Button: AxQx All in
Ricardo Velasco: 7♥6♥

Velasco had slow-played his flopped straight, which paid dividends when his opponent made two pair on the river.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Neither party was willing to share their name after the result of the following hand:

A player at table 579 limped from under the gun. The player in late position raised it 10,000. The under the gun limper didn't waste any time in going all in.

The late position player took their time, savoring the moment before putting out the call.

Under The Gun: 5♦4♦
Late Positon: A♥A♦

The board rolled out 7♥7♦9♣3♥ and when the under the gun player called for a "Six!", the deck heard his cry as the 6♥ rolled off the deck and awarded him the pot with a straight.

Kiriakidis Gets a Crucial Win

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Monika Kostanjevec

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jorge Kiriakidis in the small blind and his opponent on the button both had relatively short stacks to start the hand. They got it all in preflop. Kiriakidis slightly covered the button’s stack of 36,500.

Button: A♠J♥ All in
Jorge Kiriakidis: A♦10♦

Kiriakidis was dominated but the flop 2♥6♦9♦ gave him life with a flush draw. The turn 4♦ brought in the flush and Kiriakidis, who would have been crippled had he lost the hand, got an extension to his tournament.
