Barakat Flushes the River

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Navkiran Singh raised it up to 14,000 in the hijack and Youness Barakat came along out of the big blind to check the K♠8♣7♣ flop. Singh continued for 16,000 and Barakat check-called for 16,000 to then do the same on the K♦ turn for 30,000.

Both players opted to check the 3♣ on the river and Barakat's J♣10♣10♥8♦ for the flush earned the pot, while Singh tossed his cards into the muck with visible frustration.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Gautam Savla made it 15,000 from the cutoff and Frank Brannan called from the button.

Savla check-called a bet of 25,000 from Brannan on the Q♥7♣5♣ flop.

The turn came the A♥ and Savla led out for 30,000. Brannan called.

Upon seeing the 5♠ hit the river, Savla bet 70,000. Brannan spent quite some time in the tank before eventually folding.

Savla turned over Q♣J♦10♦3♣ for just a pair of queens as the pot was pushed to him.

Action folded to Nicolas Milgrom in the hijack, who raised to 15,000. Next to act, Jason Funke, three-bet to 54,000 and only Milgrom called.

Milgrom opted to check the 2♥A♥10♣ flop and folded when Funke moved all in for 80,000.

Funke pulled the pot in, chipping up without the requirement of a showdown.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads-up to a flop of Q♣K♠4♣. Alain Stia checked from the big blind and Michael Rocco checked behind from the button.

Stia led out for 23,000 when the 9♦ arrived on the turn. Rocco made the call.

The 10♠ hit the river and Stia bet again, this time for 36,000. Rocco took a few moments before calling again.

Stia revealed the best hand with K♥K♦5♠3♠ for a set of kings, as Rocco turned over KxQx for top two pair.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Igor Holdaiy raised from under the gun to 17,000, before Poseidon Ho moved his remaining 16,000 into the middle. Shrey Maheshwary made the call too, defending his big blind.

When the dealer revealed the 4♥9♦10♠ flop, both Holdaiy and Maheshwary checked. This prompted Maheshwary to take a stab at the pot on the 10♦ turn, and his bet of 21,000 was enough to see Holdaiy fold.

Poseidon Ho: Q♥Q♦Q♣2♦ All in
Shrey Maheshwary: 6♠5♠4♠4♣

Ho was hoping to see a river queen or ten to stay alive, but the K♥ was no good, and he said his goodbyes before heading to the exit.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Anson Tsang had raised the button and Joao Estanislau called from the small blind. They checked to the Q♠10♣5♣K♦4♦ river on which Estanislau checked again. Tsang bet 26,000 and won the pot uncontested.

One table over, Daniel Perkusic had checked the 10♣9♠5♠Q♥ turn and Igor Holdaiy fired a pot-sized bet by tossing in four green T-25,000 chips. Perkusic mulled it over for a short while and folded.

"There is no stopping you," Shrey Maheshwary grimaced in the next seat while Holdaiy raked in the pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With roughly 250,000 in the pot preflop Moonho Seo and Quan Zhou saw the dealer put out a flop of 8♦7♣9♥. Seo jammed for his last 140,000 from the small blind, and Zhou snap called.

Moonho Seo: A♦A♥4♠3♠ All in
Quan Zhou: Q♦J♣10♥7♦

Seo had aces, but was almost drawing dead against the flopped straight of Zhou. The 10♣ turn and 5♥ river wasn't the runout Seo needed, and all of his chips were sent over to Zhou.

Jorryt van Hoof	900,000 125,000	125,000
Quan Zhou	750,000 218,000	218,000

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Andrew "AJ" Kelsall was all-in and at risk against Stefan Lehner. By the time the flop showed K♦6♠3♥, Kelsall was at risk already with the A♥K♠9♠2♦ for the top pair. Lehner had him crushed with K♣K♥10♦3♦ for top set and instead made a flush with the 9♦ turn as well as the 8♦ river.
