Oganyan Caught in the Crossfire

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
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.

Theologis Runs into the Nuts Twice

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alexandros Theologis
Alexandros Theologis

David Peters raised from under the gun, picking up calls from Alexandros Theologis and Matthew Belcher from the next two seats. Nacho Barbero and Fahredin Mustafov called from the button and big blind respectively.

The 842 flop checked through to the J turn, where Peters bet 16,000 into a pot of 63,000. Theologis was the only caller.

The 7 completed the board and Peters checked. Theologis bet 75,000, and was then put at risk for most of his stack as Peters jammed for 525,000. Theologis thought it over, eventually declaring a call.

Peters tabled 109 for the nut straight. Theologis had 65 for the second nuts and was reduced to his last 50,000.

Shortly after, Belcher opened from under the gun, and Theologis defended his big blind.

Theologis put in his last six big blinds on the 10x9x8x rainbow flop, and was snapped.

Theologis had Ax9x but ran into Belcher's QxJx which flopped the nuts. The board bricked out and Theologis departed for the second and final time.

Oganyan Sends It

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aram Oganyan

Joining the hand with roughly 230,000 in the middle and a full board showing 8105QQ, Aram Oganyan and Sean Winter were locked in battle.

Oganyan was the first to act, and he put Winter deep into the tank with a bet of 411,000, leaving himself just 15,000 behind.

"This is never a fold, but you are just never bluffing here", Winter said.

"I beat value though", he said, before flicking in a chip to call.

Oganyan turned over the 76 for a failed bluff. Winter showed AQ, as he scooped in a bit pot and left Oganyan with just three big blinds.

Suvarna's Nines Are Good

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

[Removed:548] opened to 11,000 from the hijack and was called by Landon Tice from the small blind. Santhosh Suvarna then made it 55,000 from the big blind, with [Removed:549] being the only caller.

Suvarna continued for 35,000 on the 733 flop and was called. The 10 turn and J river checked through to showdown.

Suvarna tabled 99 and [Removed:549] told him he was good.

Ponakovs Rivers Lingham

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

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised in early position, and only Vinny Lingham chose to call, putting in the 10,000 from the cutoff.

Ponakovs chose to check the K109 flop, but Lingham wasn't interested in giving his opponent a free turn card. Instead, he bet 15,000, which Ponakovs called.

Ponakovs check-called another bet of 30,000 on the turn 2 before the river rolled off a third heart. Ponakovs again elected to check, and Lingham, who didn't like the look of the river, checked behind.

Lingham was correct with his suspicions as Ponakovs showed A3 for a rivered flush. A dismayed Lingham then showed the table that he had flopped the nut straight with queen-jack, receiving some plaudits from his tablemates for not losing more chips on the river.
