Punish the Limpers

Stewart Morrison

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

By the time action had worked its way round to Richard Florestan in the small blind, three players had already limped in. Florestan punished the limpers by raising to 7,500. Alejandro Jauregui called from the big blind, but the rest of the table folded.

Both players checked the 7♠8♦2♣ flop, but Florestan picked the betting lead up again on the J♠ turn, putting out a bet of 10,000. Jauregui made the call.

The dealer flipped over the 2♠ river, and Florestan put out another 10,000 bet. Again, Jauregui called but was shown bad news. Florestan tabled A♠A♥, which was good enough to claim the pot, and Jauregui mucked his cards.

Richard Florestan	175,500 65,500	65,500

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Haim Gabay raised to 2,500 in the hijack before John Carreon moved all in for 14,000 in the big blind. "You could afford it," Carreon told Gabay, who eventually called to put Carreon at risk.

John Carreon: A♥8♥ All in
Haim Gabay: A♣Q♠

Gabay had Carreon dominated, but Carreon received some hope on the K♥2♣5♥ flop with the nut flush draw. The 4♦ turn was no help, while the river came the 6♦ and Carreon was sent to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop between Yongqing Yuan in the small blind, Joseph Presho in early position, and Joshua Feiger in the hijack.

The board read 8♦Q♦3♠ and action checked around to Feiger who bet 11,600 and Yuan called. Presho responded by moving all in for 12,700 and both of his opponents called.

Action checked through on the 6♣ turn to the 3♣ river where Yuan bet 20,000 and Feiger folded.

Joseph Presho: A♣A♦
Yongqing Yuan: A♠Q♠ All in

Presho's aces were good for the pot as he tripled up at the expense of Yuan and Feiger.

Joshua Feiger	212,500 20,600	20,600
Yongqing Yuan	203,000 69,900	69,900

Good Bai

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was joined with 16,000 in the middle, and three players had arrived at the river on a A♣7♣5♣8♦10♦ board.

The player first to act checked, as did Richard Bai in the hijack. Karim Salum then moved all in from the cutoff for 11,900.

He got over the first hurdle, with one player folding, but Bai was less trusting of the bet.

A curious Bai thought through the hand and decided to make the call.

It was probably good news as Salum stood up to leave at the same time as turning over his cards. Sure enough, he showed 7♦6♦, which could not beat Bai's A♥3♥.

Funaro Gets Paid Despite River

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on a board of 2♥A♠8♠K♠ with 57,000 chips in the middle. Frank Funaro bet out for 23,000 into one other player, Doron Reuveni, who put in the call.

The river 6♠ didn't slow Funaro down, as he opted for a smaller sizing of 18,000. Reuveni didn't take too long before putting in the call. Funaro showed J♠10♠ for the turned flush, which got less hidden on the river. Reuveni made a failed attempt to flick his cards into the middle, and the dealer continued to wait for him to show his hand. Action halted for around half a minute, before he finally moved his cards forward an inch, and the dealer took them away.

Player	Chips	Progress
Frank Funaro	254,000 167,000	167,000

Doron Reuveni	41,000 74,100	74,100

Aleksejs Ponakovs opened from early position to 2,000 and Brian Devany called from the hijack. Nathanial Hutton and Craig Natte called from the small and big blind respectively.

The Q♠J♣6♣ came on the flop which saw the blinds check and Ponakovs bet 2,300. All three players called behind.

Action checked around to Devany who bet 6,600. Hutton raised to 17,500 and saw three folds, allowing him to take the four-player pot.

It folded to Rebecca Lakepool on the button who raised to 2,000. Muskan Sethi three-bet to 6,000 in the small and it was called by Ehsan Amiri in the big blind and Lakepool.

The flop came 3♥9♦6♦ and it checked to Lakepool who sent a bet of 10,000. It was enough to grab the pot right away.

Dan O'Hair

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kevin McShea limped from the hijack and Andriy Lyubovetskiy raised to 4,500 from the small blind. Alvaro Puchol three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind, which got a fold from McShea and a call from Lyubovetskiy.

Both players checked on the 2♦8♥9♥ flop and then Lyubovetskiy took the initiative with a 15,000 bet on the 3♥ turn.

Puchol wanted nothing to do with it and folded — conceding the pot to Lyubovetskiy.
