Tomescu Doubles Up With Rivered Top Pair

Sava Krink

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With the pot standing at around 7,000 and the flop showing 7♣5♦J♣, the cards of George Tomescu in the small blind and David McGowan on the button were tabled for an all-in call.

George Tomescu: A♦K♣
David McGowan: J♦9♦

McGowan was ahead with a pair of jacks, and the 4♦ turn didn't change any of that. But the A♠ river gave Tomescu the top pair and allowed him to double up and scoop the pot, whilst McGowan was left with crumbs.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Matthew Zambanini and Bin Weng were heads-up in the blinds on a flop of Q♦6♣4♣. Zambanini led out with a bet of Weng raised to 4,400 which Zambanini called.

The turn brought the A♠ and Zambanini checked this time. Weng counted out a bet of 13,500 and Zambanini jammed all in for around 35,000. Weng quickly called and tabled his 6♠4♦ for two pair. Zambanini held 9♣3♣ for just a flush draw and the J♥ on the river was no help to him.

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

In two consecutive hands, Tom Fuchs found himself in the mix. First, he took down a pot of around 4,000 with A♥3♥ on a 3♦Q♦9♦4♥Xx board against Valentin Oberhauser.

Right after that, Fuchs was on the button and raised to 1,000. Seunghyun Nam made the call from the big blind.

Both checked the Q♥8♠9♠ flop.

On the 6♣ turn, Nam led for 2,000 and Fuchs called.

The 4♦ landed on the river, and Nam checked. Fuchs tossed out a bet of 5,000, and Nam quickly called. He showed Q♦7♦ for top pair, and that was enough. Fuchs sent his cards to the muck.
