Debs Wins at Showdown

Tyler Foran

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Yannick Capocetti opened 3,000 in the cutoff and both the small blind and Michael Debs in the big blind made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of J♠J♦8♠ and the small blind check-folded to a bet of 3,000 from Capocetti, but Debs check-called.

The 10♦ fell on the turn, and Debs checked to Capocetti who continued with aggression as he tossed two red chips across the line for a bet of 10,000. Debs stuck around once again.

The dealer dropped the 4♥ on the river, and both players tapped the table. Debs rolled 10♣9♣ for an open-ended straight draw that turned a ten, and Capocetti mucked his hand.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

[Removed:510] and Shundan Xiao built a pot of around 30,000 as they went heads-up to the 9♦6♠5♥ flop. Xiao then led out for 5,000 from the small blind, Trofimov raised to 17,000 on the button, and Xiao called.

Both players checked the 10♦ turn and the J♦ fell on the river. Xiao then bet 25,000.

Trofimov spent more than a minute pondering the decision before he raised to 90,000. Xiao instantly mucked her cards and Trofimov took the pot.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Johnn Chan was heads-up from the cutoff against a lone player in the big blind on a flop of 5♠4♥6♥.

It was checked to Chan and he shoved for approximately 23,000 total. His opponent called after a bit of deliberation and a showdown was held.

Johnny Chan: A♠J♠ All in
Opponent: Q♠4♠

Chan was in trouble and had one foot out the door on the 6♣ turn, however, the J♥ river bailed Chan out — pairing his jack for the much-needed double up.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Michael Marder opened 3,000 under the gun and Benjamin Pollak put in a three-bet to 7,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Marder and he thought about it for a few moments before saving his remaining 13,000. Pollak let him know it was a good fold by flashing A♠A♦.

The following hand, Pollak opened 3,500 and Veerab Zakarian called in the cutoff before Marder defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 6♠5♥4♦ and Marder jammed his last 8,000. Pollak quickly got out of the way and Zakarian snap-called.

Michael Marder: A♠3♥ All in
Veerab Zakarian: 8♥7♥

Marder flopped an open-ended straight draw but Zakarian had already flopped the nut straight. The K♥ turn and 2♥ river improved him to a flush as Marder left the table.
