Tough Decisions on the River

Maxime Taldir

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action was picked up on a board of 6♠A♦4♦8♣3♥ with more than 1,000,000 in the pot. Samuel Bernabeu in the small blind checked, then Benoit Fiasson bet 1,600,000.

Bernabeu, who was covered by this bet, went deep into the tank but folded.

A similar action occurred at the same time on a board of 3♥J♠K♥A♠2♦. The pot was smaller but Thomas Muehloecker in the big blind bet 550,000.

Renan Bruschi on the button was in the tough situation, and he made the call but ran into Muehloecker's top pair with A♥9♣.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Samuel Bernabeu limped in from the small blind and Robert Ashelm checked his option in the big blind. The flop came 8♦6♣3♦ and Bernabeu led out with a bet of 60,000. Ashelm called and the 9♠ peeled off on the turn.

Bernabeu fired out another small bet of 125,000 and Ashelm still called to see the 3♣ on the river. Bernabeu reached back for a larger bet of 500,000 on the river and Ashelm looked him up. Bernabeu turned over 7♦5♣ for a straight and Ashlem was not happy with the result.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Thomas Muehloecker limped in from the small blind, and James Mendoza checked his option in the big.

Both players checked the 9♦7♦5♦ flop.

On the 4♥ turn, Muehloecker led out for 120,000, and Mendoza made the call.

The 9♣ river paired the board, and Muehloecker fired again, this time for 435,000. Mendoza went deep into the tank before eventually tossing in the call.

Muehloecker tabled 9♠8♥ for trip nines, and that was more than enough as Mendoza sent his hand into the muck.

Renan Bruschi: A♠J♣ All in
Marius Gierse: 6♠6♣

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Taylor Paur raised it up from under the gun and Brandon Sheils stuck in a three-bet in the cutoff. The action folded back to Paur who four-bet ripped all in for just over 1,200,000. Sheils snapped him off and the cards were face up.

Taylor Paur: A♣4♣ All in
Brandon Sheils: K♠K♣

Paur was in need of some help up against the pocket kings, but the flop of Q♣9♥3♥ changed nothing. The K♥ on the turn gave Sheils a set and Paur was left drawing dead to the 9♠ on the river.

Heads-up on a flop of 4♠2♦J♦, Mustapha Kanit on the button bet 180,000 but Erwann Pecheux in the small blind check-raised to 400,000.

Kanit called to find the 10♠ turn that Pecheux checked. After a few seconds, Kanit announced "all in" and Pecheux went deep into the tank.

The Frenchman eventually decided to keep his stack and fold.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

James Mendoza was down to just 315,000 and pushed all in on the button. Marius Gierse from the small blind and the cards were tabled. Mendoza flipped over 10♠10♥ and was in good shape against the A♥10♣ of Gierse.

The board ran out J♠J♦5♠5♣8♦ and Mendoza held on to double up.

Just a few hands later, Mendoza was all in again for around 700,000 and Gierse was his opponent.

James Mendoza: J♥J♦ All in
Marius Gierse: 10♥10♦

Mendoza was looking good for another double and the K♥4♣2♥ flop left it that way. The 5♦ on the turn and the J♠ on the river was helpful for Mendoza who doubled up once more.

Srikanth Yadlapati opened to 160,000 from the hijack. Nicholas Grippo, on the button, three-bet to 500,000, but Erwann Pecheux, in the big blind, moved all in for 820,000. Yadlapati folded, but Grippo made the call.

Erwann Pecheux: A♣K♣ All in
Nicholas Grippo: 10♦10♠

The flop of 9♣3♦8♥ was no help for Pecheux, who hit the K♦ turn to double up after the 3♥ river.
