Zelman Takes a Bite Out of the Hippo

A completed board of 4♣2♠2♥5♣5♥ was spread across the table with around 45,000 in the pot already. The action was on Martin Kabrhel in the cutoff who dropped in a rainbow bet, one of each color, making it 31,600.

Michael Zelman thought for a minute before splashing in a raise to 85,000. Kabrhel tried to engage in some table talk, even pointing out the large dog looming in the background of Zelman, but got no response at all. Kabrhel eventually called and Zelman turned over 5♦4♦ for a full house and Kabrhel sent his cards to the muck.

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

Zachary Smiley opened up the action as the shortest stack on the table, with a raise to 2,200 from early position. Venkat Chivukula found himself two doors down and went for another raise. He made it 5,500, and only Smiley called.

On a flop of 5♥K♦7♥ Smiley checked his option over to Chivukula, who continued small, for 2,800. Smiley didn't think for long before check-raising to 11,000, which got a swift fold out of his opponent.

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

Hartt Stearns had raised from under the gun to 3,000 and was called on the button by James Bechtel. There wasn't much action until the J♣8♥3♠2♥J♦ river on which Stearns checked and quickly called a bet of 7,800. Bechtel tabled the Q♠10♠ for a missed gutshot and Stearns won the pot with the A♦K♠.

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.

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.

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.

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♥.

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.
