Negreanu Hits a Set

Maxime Taldir

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player opened to 800 from middle position, then Shota Nakanishi in the hijack three-bet to 2,500. Daniel Negreanu in the small blind called, but the middle-position player folded at this point.

Negreanu and Nakanishi checked the 3♣2♥10♠ flop, then on the 9♦ turn, Negreanu led out for 2,500. Nakanishi called.

The 6♦ completed the board and Negreanu asked for 5,500. Nakanishi seemed unhappy at first, but he made the call. However his cards went into the muck when Negreanu flipped over 10♥10♦ for a set.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Danny Nguyen raised to 1,200 from early position, Dhimitri Lleshi three-bet to 4,000 from the hijack and Songtao Bao cold four-bet to 10,000, from the big blind. Both players called.

The 2♠4♥10♣ flop saw Bao continue for 10,000. Nguyen and Lleshi both called.

The 3♣ turn saw Bao size up to 30,000. Nguyen folded and Lleshi went deep into the tank.

"You have aces?" Lleshi asked as he continued to think, with just 37,000 left behind the line.

"It's fifty-fifty," Lleshi continued "I either have 0% or you have 0%".

Lleshi finally folded K♦K♣ face up to give Bao the pot.

Nitsche Heroes to Win

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player opened to 700 from early position and received calls from Dominik Nitsche in middle position as well as a player in the big blind.

Action checked through the 7♦4♥K♦ flop to the K♠ turn at which point the big blind checked again. The early position player fired off a delayed continuation bet of 1,200, with Nitsche making the call while the big blind player got out of the way.

The 3♣ river saw the early position player barrel once more, this time sizing up to 5,200. Nitsche seemed poised to muck his cards but at the last moment thought better of doing so, instead flicking in a call. His opponent tabled A♠10♣ and came up short against Nitsche's 6♦6♠ as the German pro had correctly found a hero call to win a decent pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Jamie Sanfilippo opened to 700 from the button and Rupom Pal three-bet to 2,200 from the small blind. Sanfilippo made the call.

The flop came J♥8♠2♥. Pal fired a 2,100 continuation bet and Sanfilippo clicked it to 4,200. Pal made the call.

Both players then checked through the J♠ turn leading to the Q♣ river. Pal checked and Sanfilippo bet 2,600. Pal check-raised to 8,800 and Sanfilippo moved all in, covering Pal who had around 40,000 behind.

Pal announced that he had the second-nuts before folding Q♥Q♠ for queens full of jacks face up. Sanfilippo revealed that he had J♦J♣ for quad jacks and that his opponent had made the correct laydown as he took the pot.

Ho's Turn Lead Takes Down the Pot

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Tim Baker

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a flop of 5♥4♥5♦, Maria Ho had checked out of the big blind and Igor Tregoubov bet 1,200. A player in the cutoff folded before Ho put in the call.

The turn came the 8♣. Ho thought briefly before leading out for roughly 3,500. Tregoubov was visibly annoyed by this turn and Ho's bet. Ultimately he settled on a fold.

Ho assured Tregoubov that she "had it" as she slid her cards face down to the dealer.
