Five-Bet Gets it Done

Jacob Wilson

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

Thomas Boivin opened up the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,300. He got very little respect, as Marwan Salamoun three-bet to 7,500 from the small blind. In between the two, Clement Kerrien then put on his sunglasses, before putting in a cold four-bet, deciding that 17,500 was the right sizing.

Boivin, however, demanded more respect, as he went for an extremely small, almost min-five-bet, to 29,000. This time, both other players respected the raise, and he picked up 25 bigs uncontested.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marwan Salamoun	180,000 31,500	31,500
Thomas Boivin	146,000 35,100	35,100

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

Hussni Alkhuzai opened to 2,100 under the gun. With action folded to the small blind, Aaron Gunn called to see a flop.

The flop dropped 6♥10♣A♦. Gunn check-called Alkhuzai's bet of 2,500. Both checked the turn J♠. On the river 7♥, Gunn led out with 5,500 and Alkhuzai called just to throw his hand in the muck after Gun tabled J♦10♦ for a turned two pair.

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

James Sileo opened to 2,100 in middle position and Yaroob Kaskorkis three-bet to 5,200 which Sileo called.

Kaskorkis checked the flop of 5♠10♣4♥ over to Kaskorkis who bet 5,000 and Sileo called.

On the turn 9♣, Sileo checked over to Kaskorkis who bet 5,000 again and this time Sileo folded.

As he was pushed the pot, Kaskorkis showed Q♣Q♠ for a pair of queens, with Sileo saying he folded ace-king.

Clock Called

Stewart Morrison

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

With 14,000 already in the pot, Sarkis Akopian and Jichen Sheng were battling blind versus blind.

Big blind Jichen Sheng had a bet in front of him totalling 8,400, but had been met by a raise to 63,700. The raise had Sheng's stack of 25,000 more covered, and as such, he was deciding for his tournament life.

After a few minutes had passed, another player at the table called the clock on Sheng. The floor was called, and the clock started ticking down.

"Three, two, one..." the tournament director advised, and Sheng flicked his cards back towards the dealer.

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

Action folded around to Dakota Baggett opened to 2,300 from the button and only Jared Bluestein called.

The 10♥2♣4♠ flop was bet by Baggett to 2,200 and Bluestein folded.

In the next hand Baggett opened to 2,300 from the cutoff and Curtis Nare defended the big blind.

The 10♣K♥10♣ flop was bet 2,200 by Baggett and Nare called.

Baggett bet 8,500 on the 6♥ turn, and Nare called again.

Players checked down the 3♥ river to showdown with Baggett showing Q♦7♥ which was good enough to take the pot as Nare mucked.

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

There were only two players left to the J♦9♥8♦ flop with nearly seventy big blinds in the middle when Michael Schulz in late position declared all-in. Jacques Correa Ortega on the button asked or a count and the shove was deemed to be for 47,300 total, which the Brazilian called with the covering stack.

Michael Schulz: A♥K♥ All in
Jacques Correa Ortega: A♦6♦

The 8♥ turn gave Schulz a flush draw of his own and the J♣ river paired the board for the second time to result in a split pot.

Gaelle Jaudon

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

In a three-way pot, the flop read 9♣J♥3♥ when Luis Concha checked to Ivan Ermin who bet 4,200. Kohei Arai made the call and so did Concha.

The 3♣ paired the board on the turn and it checked again to Ermin who sent 9,500 in the middle. This time only Arai called to stay in the pot.

The A♣ completed the board and Ermin sent a third barrel for 12,500. After some thinking, Arai called. Ermin tabled A♦J♦ for top two pair but Arai revealed Q♣J♣ for the flush and took down the pot.

Kohei Arai	175,000 43,600	43,600
