East Forces a Fold

Nick Becker

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jareth East opened the action with a raise on the button and Tetsuma Ishizu three-bet to 190,000 in the small blind. East then came over the top and four-bet jammed for 730,000 total to put Ishizu at risk.

Ishizu went into the tank, taking some time to think through his decision. The clock was eventually called by Eshaan Bhalla, which prompted Ishizu to let go of his hand.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Damarjai Davenport opened the action with a raise to 70,000 on the button, but Jareth East wasn’t backing down. He bumped it up to 200,000 from the big blind, and after some thought, Davenport made the call.

The flop came 2♥A♦K♣, and East continued for just 50,000. Davenport double-checked his cards before flicking in a call.

Then came the 3♦ on the turn, and everything escalated quickly. East moved all in, and Davenport snap-called.

Jareth East: A♣J♣ All in
Damarjai Davenport: 5♠4♠

Davenport had turned the straight and left East drawing slim. The Q♣ on the river changed nothing, and East hit the rail as Davenport scooped a big one.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Tristan Wade raised from the cutoff to 65,000 only for Bohdan Slyvinskyi to three-bet from the big blind to 225,000. Wade flat called.

The flop came 3♦8♣10♠, Slyvinskyi checked, and Wade bet out for 150,000. Slyvinskyi called. The turn brought the 10♣, and both players checked and saw the Q♠ fall on the river.

Slyvinskyi checked again and hoped to see a cheap showdown, but Wade had other ideas and pushed out a hefty bet of 600,000. This sent Slyvinskyi into the tank for three to four minutes, and he eventually made the call.

Wade flipped over Q♥Q♦ for a rivered full house, and Slyvinskyi mucked his cards instantly. Wade was shipped the nearly two-million chip pot.

Bohdan Slyvinskyi went all-in from the small blind for around 900,000 and got called by the big blind, Maxwell Shenmolesky, with only around 200,000 behind.

Maxwell Shenmolesky : A♥9♦ All in
Bohdan Slyvinskyi : K♠3♣

Shenmolesky was looking at a potential double-up when he caught a pair on the flop 9♣2♣7♣. The runout 5♦6♥ didn't help Slyvinskyi as Shenmolesky maintained the lead and took down the pot.

Tom Verbruggen raised under the gun to 60,000, Dani Genov three-bet to 265,000 from the big blind, Verbruggen called.

Genov continued firing when the flop came Q♦4♥7♥ for 150,000, Verbruggen just called. The 4♠ on the turn did not slow the action down as Genov bet 600,000 and Verbruggen called again.

Genov announced "all in" for 2,850,000 when the 5♦ fell on the river and Verbruggen went deep into the tank and suggested to Genov "you could have aces" then folded.
