Martosella Boats Up to Bust Ding

Brett Slezak

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up to the river with a little over 11,000 in the middle, Michael Martosella from the small blind and Jiasheng Ding from middle position saw the completed board of 4♠2♣5♦5♣Q♥.

Martosella led for 10,000 before Ding jammed for his remaining 24,000 or so, and Martosella snapped it off as the covering stack.

Jiasheng Ding: K♣Q♦
Michael Martosella: 2♥2♦

Ding rivered top pair and mistakenly went for the whole lot as he value-owned himself to the rail against Martosella's full house.

The Curious Case of the Missed River Bet

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

If Giorgos Onisiforou was hoping to play a little one-on-one poker, he'd need to find another spot.

Starting the action off, Onisiforou raised in early position to 1,300. Next to act, Kenna James called. The player on the button called, the small blind called, and of course, the big blind stuck around too.

The dealer spread a flop of 9♠9♥10♦, and when action checked to him, an undeterred Onisiforou continued with a bet of 2,300. James called to his immediate left, and all other participants folded.

Onisiforou took a more cautious approach to the following streets. Check-calling a bet of 5,500 on the 5♠ turn, before checking again on the K♦ river.

James took a moment or two to mull over his options on the river, but decided safety was paramount and checked back.

Onisiforou proudly tabled Q♥Q♣, but received bad news. James had rivered a straight with his Q♦J♠.

"You forgot to bet", quipped Onisiforou. "You either had queens or kings", was the response from James.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

David "ODB" Baker opened the cutoff to 1,200 and was called by Maria Lampropulos on the button as well as the big blind.

On the 8♠5♣2♠ flop, the big blind checked to Baker who bet 2,200, Lampropulos called, and the big blind folded.

The 5♦ turn checked through to the A♥ river which saw Baker toss out a single T-5,000 chip. Lampropulos could take around a minute before she tossed out the call, and she got the bad news as Baker tabled A♣9♦ for the winner with his top pair.

Betbese Boosted by Big Call

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With only around 20,000 in chips to the K♠Q♥3♥A♣A♥ river, Alex Manzano bet big for 35,000 in the hijack and that sent Nicolas Betbese deep into the tank. Nobody at the table called the clock and Betbese eventually flicked in calling chips.

"You win," Manzano said as he exposed only 5♠5♥ for aces and fives. Betbese had the best hand in A♠J♠ for trips aces and raked in a decent pot late on Day 1d. He is now the only one close to the largest stack at the table which belongs to Mykhailo Lendel.

Ponce Picks Up from Lafon

Laura Fryer

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Clement Lafon opened to 1,200 from early position and Bryan Ponce called on the button. David Enda also called from the small blind taking the players three-ways to the flop.

The 10♠J♥8♥ flop was checked to the 4♣ turn. Enda and Lafon checked, which prompted Ponce to bet 1,400. Enda folded and Lafon called.

The 6♥ river was checked to showdown and Ponce showed 4♠5♠. The pair of fours was good enough to hold against Lafon's K♦Q♦, having missed the open-ended straight draw he picked up on the flop.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Mateusz Moolhuizen opened to 1,500 from under the gun. Ryan Coon in the hijack moved all-in with a stack almost as small as Moolhuizen's bet, and Colton Blomberg called from the big blind.

Moolhuizen continued for 1,500 on the 3♣3♠5♥ flop and was called, then Blomberg led out for 3,000 on the 2♥ turn. Moolhuizen raised to 6,500 and Blomberg called.

Both players checked the 10♦ river and Blomberg showed 4♦4♥ for two pair. Moolhuizen mucked his cards, and Coon at risk only had A♦8♠ and was eliminated.
