Cukrowicz Picks Off the Bluff

Nick Becker

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action picked up on the river with Ilan Cukrowicz in the tank facing an all in from Luigi Soncin.

With over 500,000 in the middle and the board reading 5♠J♠J♣10♦3♣, the under-the-gun Cukrowicz had checked and Luigi Soncin in the hijack had moved all in for 660,000 to put himself at risk.

Eventually, Cukrowicz flicked in the call and tabled A♣10♠ for two pair, jacks and tens with an ace kicker, besting the K♠Q♠ of Soncin.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Cesar Del Pino raised in late position to 60,000 and Angela Defoe called in the cutoff. Yenhan Chen raised to 175,000 on the button and in the big blind Rachid Amamou called with Del Pino calling behind him and Defoe folded.

The flop rolled out Q♣3♦5♠ and action checked around to Chen who bet 150,000 and only Del Pino called.

On the turn 10♥, Del Pino checked to Chen who bet 350,000. Del Pino thought for a bit before opting to move all in for 980,000 effective and Chen called to put himself at risk.

Yenhan Chen: K♥K♠ All in
Cesar Del Pino: Q♠10♠

The river 7♥ changed nothing and Del Pino's two pair was good for the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The action was joined with the pot at approximately 700,000, and the board read 7♣3♣7♦10♣.

Benjamin Eilers had bet out for 350,000, and Ignacio Sagra was in the tank before he announced all in. Eilers called pretty much instantly.

Benjamin Eilers: K♣K♥ All in
Ignacio Sagra: A♣A♥

Both players had a flush draw, but Eilers was in serious trouble. The Q♣ came on the river and made each player a flush but Eilers was sent to the rail with the lower one.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jonah Labranche raised to 400,000 in middle position, leaving himself with just 30,000 behind, and Alexander Greenblatt called on the button.

The flop came K♥7♥3♣ and both players checked to the J♠ turn. Labranche checked again and Greenblatt bet enough to put Labranche all in. Labranche looked over to the clock as it was close to a pay jump and took a minute or two to make the call.

Jonah Labranche: J♦10♦ All in
Alexander Greenblatt: A♠A♦

"Just aces huh," said Labranche as the Q♦ rolled off on the river, sending him to the rail.
