Barby Turns a Flush

Nick Becker
Nick Becker
Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was caught on the flop of 4♣8♣10♦ in a hand between the player in the small blind, Brent Barby in the big blind, and the player in the hijack.

With a little over 3,000 in the pot, the small blind checked, Barby bet 2,000, the hijack called and the small blind called.

On the 6♣ turn, the small blind checked again, Barby bet 6,000, the hijack got out of the way and the small blind called.

The river brought the A♣, and the small blind check-folded to Barby's bet of 9,000. Barby showed K♣10♣ for the flush.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Into a pot of about 3,000, Ian Simpson bet 2,000 from the button with the board reading 8♣8♥J♦A♠. Andreas Wagner called the bet in the big blind.

The river was the 7♠. Simpson fired out 8,200. Wagner took quite a while to think about the decision as he fully assessed it for a solid couple of minutes. Eventually he called.

Simpson instantly mucked his cards and Wagner took the pot to move his stack over 100,000.

Faraz Jaka's Main Event Tips #1: Identify the Weak Players

To mark the WSOP Main Event, Faraz Jaka has given us some top tips for those playing in the most prestigious event in poker. You can always find more help and advice, as well as free poker resources and training videos on Jaka Coaching.

Top Tip #1: Identify Weaker Players

"My first tip is to identify the weakest players at your table," Jaka told PokerNews. "And while this may be important in all tournaments, in the Main Event it's extra important because you just get so many recreational players, and maybe this is the one big tournament they play a year.

"So be sure to identify who those players are. You want to raise their big blinds a little bit wider, you want to three-bet and isolate them. And really try to get into pots versus them."

Jaka says that these weaker players tend to belong in two separate camps:

"There's going to be ones that are scared money that you could kind of run over, but then there's gonna be others that are gamblers.

"They're the ones where you actually have to kind of hold on and hit something, so be a little bit aware of who they are. They're definitely the ones you want to get into a pot heads-up with.
