Ostapchenko Wins Two in a Row

Frank Visser

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a pot of 34,000, Andrew Ostapchenko checked from early position to Daniele Primerano on the button on a completed board of 7♠9♣4♦4♠6♠.

Primerano then added 23,000 to the pot, which Ostapchenko raised to 75,000. Primerano spent enough time in the tank for the clock to be called.

When his countdown started, he made a quick fold to surrender the pot, and Ostapchenko tabled the A♦ as he raked in the chips.

The next hand, Ostapchenko raised to 2,500 under the gun. Frederic Delval called in the next seat over, and Fabrizio Nolano did so on the button. Jesse Lonis defended his big blind, and the 6♣2♣7♠ flop was fanned.

Ostapchenko continued for 3,000, which was called by Delval and Nolano. Lonis check-folded, and the remaining trio checked through the 7♣ turn and 3♥ river.

Ostapchenko tabled Q♠Q♣, and he was awarded back-to-back pots when his opponents' cards hit the muck.

Mccully Gets So Unlucky on the River

Myles Phago

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was joined with the board showing 3♠3♦5♣5♠, and Sunny So had tossed out a bet of 25,000. Joshua Mccully was deep in the tank and eventually made the call.

The river brought the J♥, and now So moved all in, and he had Mccully covered. Mccully went deeper into the tank, now running all the permutations through of what So could have, and numerous times he mentioned maybe he had flopped quads.

Mccully eventually made the call and tabled K♦5♦ only to be flabbergasted when So turned over J♣J♠ for a rivered better full house to send Mccully to the rail.

Sava Krink

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Romain Locquet opened from early position with 5♣4♣, and after action folded around, Loni Hui three-bet to 9,000 from middle position holding Q♣10♣. Locquet made the call, and the two went to a flop.

The K♠A♠3♣ flop offered both players some possibilities, and after Locquet checked, Hui continued for 6,000. Locquet called again.

The K♥ turn saw both players slow down and check, bringing the 5♠ on the river. Locquet paired his five and checked once more. Hui responded with a sizable bet of 18,000, putting Locquet to the test.

After a long tank, Locquet stuck in the hero-call, and it turned out to be the right one, as his modest pair of fives was enough to drag in the pot.

Liam Gannon

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Cary Katz raised to 2,500 in late position and Mateos Sahakian in the hijack and Daniel Dangoor in the cutoff called. On the button, Venkata Chinta three-bet to 6,500 and all three of them called.

Action checked over to Chinta on the J♣K♥6♠ flop who bet 12,000 and only Dangoor called.

On the turn 2♣, Dangoor check-called a bet of 17,000 from Chinta.

Both players checked the river 4♠ to see Chinta's A♣J♠ take down the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Brian Hastings came in with a raise to 2,400 from middle position with Takashi Ogura calling out of the small blind, and Mykel Robble defending his big blind.

Ogura led out for 3,000 on the 7♠2♣4♥ flop, which Robble and Hastings called.

Everyone opted to check the 5♥ turn to see the 7♥ appear on the river. Ogura checked, and Robble bet 10,200. Hasting and Ogura quickly tossed their cards into the muck, allowing Robble to drag in the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Heads-up to the A♣9♥A♦ flop, Gabriel Cansino checked from middle position to Dong Chen in the hijack. Chen bet 3,200, and Cansino called.

The 10♥ on the turn saw Chen size up significantly. His bet of 22,500 was again check-called by Cansino, and Cansino checked the Q♠ river as well.

Chen took some time before he settled on a bet of 25,700, which was quickly called by Cansino. Chen showed A♠10♠ for a full house, besting the A♥K♥ of Cansino, who was left with less than a starting stack.
