Ivers Gets Value with Tens Full

Sava Krink

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

Joseph Baghdalian kicked things off with 8♥8♦ from middle position, raising to 2,600. Daniel Ivers called in the hijack holding 10♥10♦, and Andrew Fleming came along on the button with A♣2♣.

The A♦4♥10♠ flop gave Ivers middle set, and Baghdalian led out for 2,400. Both opponents called, keeping the pot multiway.

The 4♦ on the turn paired the board and improved Ivers to a full house. Baghdalian checked, and Ivers bet 6,500. Fleming let go of his top pair, while Baghdalian took some time before check-raising to 16,000. Ivers made the call.

The 5♣ river changed nothing, and Baghdalian checked again. Ivers paused to count his stack, then fired 36,000. Baghdalian quickly folded, giving up the pot to Ivers and his well-disguised monster.

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

Ronan Sweeney from middle position got his entire 50,100 stack into the middle preflop, at risk against [Removed:548] from under the gun.

Ronan Sweeney: A♠A♣ All in
[Removed:548]: Q♦Q♣

It was a cooler scenario with over 100,000 in the middle as the 4♥2♠2♣ flop landed. Nothing changed on the 2♥3♣ runout as Sweeney held on with the rockets to secure the full double.

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

In a three-bet pot worth 25,300, Spyridon Apartoglou bet 8,000 from the small blind on the 5♣4♣Q♦ flop. Martin Sturc called in early position, and did so too when Apartoglou sized up to 21,000 on the 8♦ turn.

The 10♠ river saw Apartoglou pile in a bet of 48,000. Sturc spent some time in the tank before he decided to call off. Apartoglou tabled A♦A♣ for the preflop nuts, and Sturc sent his cards into the muck.

Michalek continued with a down-bet of 7,000 on the Q♥J♣3♦ flop. Macisaac didn't take long to flick in the call.

The 9♦ appeared on the turn and Michalek jammed for around 39,000. This time, Macisaac instantly folded, surrendering the pot to Michalek.

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

Phil Laak opened to 2,500 from under the gun and Juan Tellez jammed all in for 27,400 from a couple of seats over. The action folded back to Laak who asked for a count and then contemplated for a minute before calling.

Juan Tellez: Q♠Q♦ All in
Phil Laak: A♥Q♥

"Up against the master," Tellez said as both players took out their phones to start recording. The board ran out K♣6♣5♣2♦7♠ and Tellez held on with his pocket queens for a double up.

Two Pair Enough for Hui

Sava Krink

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

After action folded to her in the hijack, Loni Hui raised to 2,500 with 9♠8♠. Keun Kwak picked up A♠K♥ on the button and responded with a three-bet to 8,500. Hui made the call and they went to a flop.

The dealer fanned Q♦9♣10♠, giving Hui middle pair and a gutshot. She checked, and Kwak continued for 5,000. Hui paused, then made the call.

The 3♠ turn and 10♦ river were both checked through, and at showdown, Hui’s two pair, tens and nines, proved best, earning her the pot as Kwak’s ace-high hit the muck.

Hui Springs the Trap, Gets Paid on the River

Sava Krink

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

Loni Hui opened from early position with A♠Q♠, and after action folded around, Zhannan Ge three-bet to 6,500 from the cutoff. Hui called, and the two went heads-up to the flop.

The 9♣10♠2♠ flop gave Hui a strong flush draw, and she checked to Ge, who fired 5,500. Hui called without hesitation.

When the 6♠ landed on the turn, Hui completed her flush but opted to check again. Ge slowed down and checked back.

The river brought the 2♦, and Hui seized the moment with a bold over-pot-bet of 27,000. Ge thought it over and made the call, only to see Hui table the nuts, dragging in a healthy pot.

Pocket Deuces Triple Up as Ace-Kings Clash

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sava Krink

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

Loni Hui opened the action under the gun with A♠K♥, and Ethan Eramian flatted in middle position holding the same hand, A♣K♠. Zhannan Ge then looked down at 2♠2♥ in the cutoff and shoved his last 14,700 into the middle.

Back on Hui, she sized up Eramian’s stack and four-bet to 63,800. Eramian snap-called, setting up a three-way showdown.

The board ran out 8♣8♦6♥5♥3♥, missing both ace-kings entirely and allowing Ge's pocket deuces to hold for a full triple-up. Hui and Eramian, both holding top-tier starting hands, had to settle for chopping the side pot.

Laura Fryer

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

Action was followed from when Georg Jancev had moved all in for around 50,000 from middle position and saw a call from Dario Dussan Guzman in the small blind.

Georg Jancev: A♠K♣ All in
Dario Dussan Guzman: Q♥Q♣

Dussan Guzman held on the 2♥5♣4♥ flop, although it brought in a straight draw for Jancev.

There was no luck on the 5♦ turn or 5♠ river, and Jancev was eliminated from the event.
