Two Turn Bets for the Win

Adam Lamers

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Brock Wilson raised to 2,500 and was called by Scott Margereson in the small blind along with the big blind. The flop came A♦J♥10♣ and Wilson continued with a bet of 3,000 which only Margereson called.

The turn was the 7♦ and Margereson checked again. Wilson thought for a minute before splashing in a bet of 13,000. Margereson also gave it his full consideration but opted to fold.

Nearby, Chongxian Yang raised to 2,400 from the hijack and Sergio Fernandez reraised to 9,000 from the big blind. Yang called and the dealer spread the flop of Q♥4♣2♣.

Fernandez led out with a bet of 6,500 and Yang stuck around for the 4♥ on the turn. Fernandez checked this time and Yang put together a bet of 9,500. Fernandez mulled it over but decided to lay his hand down.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Theo Arnoldi opened to 2,500 from the hijack. Thomas Boivin in the cutoff three-bet 7,000 while Manuel Fischer was already all in for 100 from the small blind. Arnoldi folded and cards went on their backs.

Manuel Fischer: 6♣5♦ All in
Thomas Boivin: A♠K♦

"Don't do it," Boivin joked to the dealer after the K♠4♦8♣ floped opened a straight draw for Fischer. Boivin was heard as the 3♥9♥ runout didn't complete the straight and Fischer was eliminated.

After losing a big hand, Ethan Yau was left with just 400 chips and found himself all in from the small blind. Action folded to Tyler Gaston in the cutoff, who raised to 2,400, but with no other takers, it went straight to showdown.

Ethan Yau: 5♣3♠All in
Tyler Gaston: 8♠8♦

It wasn’t the prettiest hand to be all in with, but the board ran out 2♦J♣5♦4♣6♣, giving Yau a surprise straight and keeping his hopes alive with a fresh 2,400 stack.

In the very next hand, Blaz Zerjav opened to 2,500 from the cutoff, and Yau, now on the button, moved all in once again. Everyone else got out of the way and it was time for another showdown.

Ethan Yau: K♦7♣All in
Blaz Zerjav: A♦K♥

This time there was no miracle. The board ran out J♠K♠5♣4♥Q♣, and Yau’s run came to an end as Zerjav’s superior king held strong.

Aziz checked and Funaro was happy to quickly check it back. Aziz held A♦10♥ for just top pair on the river and Funaro showed his 7♥4♠ for two pair to win the pot.

With about 9,300 already in the pot and the flop showing 3♠3♦A♠, all three players, Ethan Yau in the big blind, Jeremy Ausmus in middle position, and Jonas Mackoff on the cutoff, checked it through.

On the 5♦ turn, Yau led out for 5,500. Both Ausmus and Mackoff called.

The 10♠ hit the river, and Yau fired again, this time for 16,000, leaving just 400 behind. Ausmus thought it over and called, before Mackoff moved all in for roughly 69,200.

Yau tanked and eventually folded, clinging to just a few chips. Ausmus called and tabled 5♠5♥ for a full house, but it wasn’t enough, Mackoff turned over 3♠3♣ for quads to scoop the monster pot and send Ausmus to the rail.

Najeem Ajez raised it up from under the gun and was called by Colby Covington on the button along with the big blind. The flop came A♥7♥7♣ and Ajex continued with a bet of 2,500. Covington called and the big blind got out of the way.

The 6♣ landed on the turn and both players checked to the 5♣ on the river. Ajez fired out another bet of 3,000 and Covington raised to 11,000. Ajez looked him up and Covington turned over 6♠6♥ to scoop the pot.

"You're good at poker, you might have to change professions soon," one player at the table piped up.

"I'm not that good, or else I would have a long time ago," Covington replied.
