Vlastimil Gets the Mucks

Roxanne Johnson

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 2,000 and Stastny Vlastimil called from early position and the big blind also came along for the ride. The flop came out with 2♥A♣5♣ and the player under the gun made the continuation bet of 3,200 and received two calls.

All three players checked the turn 4♦.

On the river 8♥ the big blind took a stab and bet out 8,500 and the player under the gun called and Vlastimil called with A♦J♠ which was obviously the best hand as the other two mucked their cards. Vlastimil had a pair of aces.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Imran Ali Hussain has been doing well at his table. He is sitting on the big stack, which he added to by taking down two recent pots.

In the first one, he was sitting on button and his opponent three-bet to 12,700 from the small blind. Hussain called.

The flop came 10♣J♠7♥ and small blind continuation-bet for 10,000. Hussain called.

The turn 5♠ got checked around, and, after some thinking from Hussain, so did the river 3♠.

Small blind turned over A♥9♦ and Hussain was able to take it down with better ace-high, A♦K♦.

Next hand, the opponent in late position made it 3,000 and Hussain called in the cutoff.

The flop was Q♦10♣6♠ and Hussain called his opponent’s 3,000 continuation-bet.

The turn was the 6♥. Late position checked and Hussain bet 10,500. Late position called.

The river was the 5♣, and after another check from this opponent, Hussain made it 23,500. Late position thought for a while and then folded. Hussain offered him to pick a card, and his opponent was happy to see he made the right decision after seeing the card was 6♦.
