Oganyan Caught in the Crossfire

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jesse Lonis
Jesse Lonis

Aram Oganyan found a triple-up to 45,000 in the previous hand, after an encounter before that had left him with just three big blinds.

In this hand, Gregory Jenson raised to 11,000 in early position, which both Mikita Badziakouski and Jesse Lonis called. Action was then on Oganyan in the big blind, who moved all in for 45,000. Jensen then four-bet to 100,000, which got rid of Badziakouski, however, Lonis called for a second time.

Out of position to Lonis, Jensen continued for a bet of 130,000, and Lonis called on a flop of J69.

When the turn came, the 6, Jensen slowed down, checking to Lonis, whose bet of 90,000 was enough to see Jensen muck his hand.

Aram Oganyan: AK All in
Jesse Lonis: 88

Oganyan needed an ace or king river to survive, but the 8 gave Lonis a full house and sent Oganyan to the exit.

Cooler Has Ponakovs On the Ropes; Mateos Delivers the Knockout

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Vinny Lingham and Aleksejs Ponakovs were locked in battle, with a full board showing Q9J3x4x and over 300,000 in the middle.

Ponakovs had moved the rest of his stack into the middle, save for one 1,000 chip and action was on Lingham. He didn't take long to call, turning over 108 for the flopped straight.

Ponakovs turned over QQ to show that he had flopped top set in what was a nasty cooler.

The very next hand Ponakovs was all in for his remaining 1,000 versus Adrian Mateos.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: 97 All in
Adrian Mateos: KQ

The board ran out queen-high, sending Ponakovs to the rail.

Jensen Puts the Hammer Down

Level 5 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Sean Winter opened to 14,000 in middle position, and only Gregory Jensen, on the button, called.

Winter continued for a bet of 28,000 on the J88 flop and Jensen called once again.

The turn 10 was of no concern to Winter as he fired out again, this time for a more hefty 119,000. Undeterred, Jensen called again.

Winter kept up the aggression on the A river, betting 85,000. This is when Jensen sprang into action. After assembling the correct amount of chips to call, he took a moment, then announced he was all in for roughly 300,000.

Winter wasted little time in folding, and Jensen pulled in the pot.

Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

The four-way action was picked up on the flop of 973 where Barak Wisbrod and Vinny Lingham checked from the small and big blind, Alex Foxen bet 15,000 into a pot of roughly 60,000 from early position, and Adrian Mateos raised to 55,000 sitting on the button. Both of the blinds folded and Foxen made the call.

The turn came the 2 and Foxen check-called the 126,000 chip bet from Mateos.

On the 8 river, Foxen checked once again, and Mateos slid his remaining 333,000 chips into the middle. Foxen made the call after some deliberation. Mateos rolled KQ over for king-high, while Foxen showed a pair of nines with K9.
