Hunichen Outkicked

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Chris Hunichen raised to 1,200 in middle position. Gabriel Abusada called in the cutoff, and Robert Kieras and Yoon Choi followed in the blinds.

It checked to Hunichen on the 6♦J♦7♦ flop, and he bet 1,500. Kieras was the only caller, and he check-called Hunichen's bet of 6,000 on the 3♣ turn as well.

Hunichen fired another 8,000 on the 6♥ river, quickly being check-called again. Hunichen showed K♣J♠ for top pair, but Kieras had the better kicker with A♥J♥ and was awarded the pot.

"I tried to tell you I had something," Kieras told Hunichen as he raked in the chips.

"I know you had something. I just hoped it was queen-jack," Hunichen responded.

Brownscombe Clears Out the Field

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Matas Budginas raised from middle position to 1,100, which saw both the cutoff and the button call. Thomas Brownscombe, in the big blind, increased the price of poker, three-betting to 5,500. Budginas called, but the two in-position players folded.

The postflop action was short and sweet. Once the dealer had burned and turned the 3♣10♠2♣ flop, Brownscombe constructed a bet of 5,000. No sooner had he slid it into the middle than Budgnis had surrendered, tossing his cards towards the muck.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Paul Taylor came in with a raise to 1,100 from under the gun with Daemon Richardson calling from the cutoff, Antonius Samuel calling out of the small blind, and Justin Olson defending his big blind.

Four ways to the 6♦9♣5♠ flop that got checked around for the K♣ to appear on the turn. After the blinds checked, Taylor bet 3,000, and only Richardson called.

The 4♥ river went check-check and Taylor tabled the winner with K♠8♠ for a pair of kings.

Gut Calls With Jacks Full

Liam Gannon

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between Aditya Prasetyo in the small blind and Maciej Gut in the cutoff.

With 21,100 in the middle and a board reading J♥10♠Q♥10♦, Prasetyo checked over to Gut who bet 10,000 and Prasetyo called.

Prasetyo led out for 15,000 on the river 9♥ and Gut went into the tank. He counted out the call from his chip stack and sized it up against the rest of his stack before ultimately deciding to call.

At showdown, Prasetyo tabled K♦K♣ for a king-high straight, but it was no good against Gut who tabled J♠J♦ for jacks full of tens. He apologized a couple of times to Prasetyo as he raked in the pot.
