Leblond Aggression Right Before Hand For Hand Pays Off

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Benh Kieu opened for 8,000 in middle position and got called by the man to his immediate left Benjamin Leblond to see a flop.

The flop came 1098 which both players checked. The turn A fell and Kieu shot out 6,000. As the floor announced hand-for-hand playe on the next hand, Leblond raised to 18,000 sending Kieu to think of what to do with only about 50,000 behind.

He ultimately folded conceding the pot to Leblond.

June Avoids Swoon

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Venkata Tayi started with a raise from the cutoff to 12,000 on a flop of JA10. June Kim three-bet it to 28,000 chips.

After much study, Tayi went all in with enough chips to put Kim to the test for all of his chips with the bubble looming.

Kim made the call.

June Kim: KQAll in
Venkata Tayi: A3

With the top straight on the flop, Kim didn't need any help. The runout of Q2 didn't change anything, and Kim got the crucial double-up.

Igor Zektser

Heads up to a flop of QJ8 saw Igor Zektser check and Jacobo Davila followed suit.

The J came on the turn and both players checked again.

Zekster bet 4,000 when the 2 completed and he soon faced a raise to 15,000 from Davila.

It appeared Zekster was counting combinations of hands his opponents could have and eventually he flicked in the call.

Davila tabled A3 for the nut flush and Zekster mucked his hand, nodding as if that hand was indeed on his mental list.
