Flop Call Frustrates Shaverdians

Gabrielle Barredo
Gabrielle Barredo
Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Charles Shaverdians raised to 7,000 and got called by Frederick Levy in the small blind and Frank Mikletic in the big.

They saw a flop 7♥10♠3♠ and after a check from the blinds, Shaverdians bet another 7,000. Levy called but Mikletic got out of the way.

Action slowed down and the turn 8♦ was checked by both. When the river fell 5♦, Levy led out with a 10,500 bet which Shaverdians called. Levy tabled A♥8♥ for a turned pair, which somehow surprised Shaverdians, visibly frustrated that he got called on the flop.

Shaverdians mucked his hand with one card facing up, the 7♣, as the pot was pushed towards Levy.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Brad Gill opened to 5,500 on the button and got two callers in the blinds - Don Warner in the small blind and Ronald Weinberg in the big.

All three saw the flop of 2♠10♠7♣. Both blinds passed the action to Gill, who continued with another 6,000. Warner, who had a significant stack in front of him, called, but Weinberg decided to leave the hand.

The turn 7♥ dropped and, relentless, Gill fired 8,000 into the pot after a check. Once again, Warner called.

Finally on the river 6♠, Warner initiated with 17,000. Keeping control of the pot, Gill went all in for 47,000.

Warner took a few seconds and said, "King-queen good," but Gill remained quiet. Warner folded, conceding the pot to Gill.
