Blom Fires into a Multi-Way Pot

Tim Baker

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Viktor Blom made it 600 from under the gun with Mario Hudson calling from the cutoff, Nathan Ivarsen calling from the button, and Andrew Yee defending his big blind.

Yee checked the 10♣Q♥K♣ flop, prompting Blom to fire a continuation-bet of 1,200 into his three opponents. This was enough to get three quick folds, and Blom dragged in the pot.

Stewart Morrison

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

After an early position raise to 500, Tyler Gaston moved all in for 5,600. Louis Warlow called from the cutoff, before the small blind, Carlos Martinez, four-bet to 15,300. The initial raiser folded, but Warlow called again.

Martinez continued with a bet of 7,700 on the 9♥6♥6♣ flop, and Warlow promptly folded.

Tyler Gaston: A♣Q♠ All in
Carlos Martinez: A♥K♠

An unenviable situation for Gaston, at risk and dominated in the first level of the day.

There was no help on the 8♥ turn, nor the 5♣ river, resulting in Gaton vacating his seat and heading to the exit.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was joined with roughly 1,700 in the pot and a board showing 9♥4♣6♠.

Charles Phillips, in the small blind, checked, and Ioana Apostol placed a bet of 1,100 from the cutoff. Phillips put in a check-raise to 3,300, which was quickly met with a flop three-bet to 6,600, which he called.

The river 6♣ put an end to the action, as both players checked. Apostol showed A♥J♣, which was good enough to win the pot as Phillips flashed king-jack before mucking his hand.
