Jeremy Ausmus: K♠K♣ All in
Jeffrey Thone: A♣Q♣

It was a very safe runout for Ausmus, as the dealer spread a 5♥7♦3♦9♠5♣ board, earning Ausmus a full double up.

Oscar Gironella raised to 2,200 from under the gun and earned three callers in Jared Kawalsky, Thanh Duong and Lioc Debregeas in the big blind. The Q♥7♦2♦ flop was checked to Duong and he bet 4,500. Only Debregeas called and they checked the 3♣ on the turn. Debregeas bet the J♥ river for 15,000 and Duong paid it off but mucked when he was shown the Q♠7♠ for queens and sevens.

Brett Slezak

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

Min Ji opened the cutoff before Terrance Reid three-bet to 6,500 from the button. With the action back on Ji, he put in a four-bet to 12,700, and Reid called.

On the 9♠6♠3♥ flop, Ji led for 10,000 before Reid raised to 22,000. Ji would then shove for 106,000 and Reid snapped it off as the covering stack.

Min Ji: 9♥8♦ All in
Terrance Reid: 9♦9♣

Ji had flopped top pair but was in dire straits against the top set of Reid. Nothing changed on the 5♥J♣ runout as Ji hit the exit in a questionable manner.

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

Daisuke Sawayama raised from middle position to 2,000, and Ryan Laplante called from late position. Riva Arthur then three-bet from the cutoff to 6,000. Sawayama called, and Laplante folded.

The flop came Q♦J♦10♥ and Sawayama check-called Arthur's 8,000 continuation bet, and the players saw the 2♦ peel off on the turn. Sawayama checked again, and now Arthur bet out for 15,000, which Sawayama called.

The river brought the 6♦ and again Sawayama checked. This time Arthur pushed out a bet of 40,000. Sawayama thought for a while and then folded, handing the pot to Arthur with no showdown.

Gabrielle Barredo

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

San Kim started the action with 4,000 and got called by Alexander Smith on the button. Big blind Oren Shrak went way beyond with a massive overbet of 31,000 pushing Kim out of the pot. Smith, however, called.

The flop came 5♣J♣10♥. After a check, Shrak fattened the pot further with a 25,000 bet sending Smith to the tank. Smith started counting his chips and with only 34,900 behind, he mulled over the situation he was in. He ultimately folded surrendering the pot to Shrak

Value Bet Bluff

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Stewart Morrison

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

With a pot of 47,500 already in the middle, ready to be claimed, big blind Hans Bosman and middle position player Robert Capote were playing the final street to determine who would win the pot.

Bosman checked the action over to Capote, who took a moment before placing a bet of 18,000 on a 6♠7♥4♠J♥7♣ board.

This sent Bosman deep into the tank, as he thought through the hand. Ultimately, Bosman decided to return his cards to the dealer, surrendering the pot.

No sooner had Bosman's cards hit the muck had Capote flipped over 9♠8♥, for a successful river bluff.

"How did I do?" Capote asked. He followed up by saying "[that was] A value bet bluff".
