Tamaki Sends Mandryk to the Rail

Brett Slezak

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

Shoichiro Tamaki opened from the hijack and Nicholas Mandryk called in the cutoff. In the small blind, Michael Vinokur put in a three-bet and both opponents called to create a bloated three-way pot.

On the 10♥10♦6♠ flop, Vinokur led for 7,000 and Tamaki called before Mandryk put in a small raise to 17,000. Vinokur would fold after a long tank with what he later said was aces, and Tamaki called again.

The turn brought the 9♦ as Tamaki checked in flow to Mandryk who jammed for 88,400 and Tamaki snap-called.

Nicholas Mandryk: Q♦J♦ All in
Shoichiro Tamaki: J♠10♠

Mandryk held an open-ender with a flush draw against the trip tens of Tamaki, who needed to fade many outs to drag a massive pot. Many from the table stood up to sweat the river card as the fate of each player awaited, and dealer peeled the 9♠ to give Tamaki a full house. Mandryk was left with nothing as he exited the room after a massive collision in a pot worth almost 250 big blinds.

Shoichiro Tamaki	290,000 223,900	223,900
Michael Vinokur	205,000 74,900	74,900
Nicholas Mandryk	Busted

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

Hideaki Ohashi raised and earned three callers to the Q♣5♠2♠ flop on which Juan Maceiras checked out of the big blind. Ohashi continued for 3,000 into 9,500 and two opponents called. Maceiras Lapido then check-jammed for 58,800 and Ohashi went all-in over the top to isolate.

Juan Maceiras: Q♦2♦ All in
Hideaki Ohashi: 5♦5♣

The J♣ turn and 9♥ river changed nothing and that spelled the end for the Spaniard. Two years ago, Maceiras finished eighth in the WSOP Main Event for a seven-figure payday but has now been ousted on Day 2.

Value Bet Bluff

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".

Smith Buckles Under Pressure

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

San Kim	258,000 70,000	70,000

Oren Shrak	169,000

Jen Harman checked from the small blind on a flop of K♦2♣Q♥, and Mauro Scala bet the minimum of 1,000 from the cutoff. Harman made the call.

Both players checked the J♠ turn to see the 5♥ appear on the river. Harman led out for 2,500, and got a quick fold out of Scala.

Myles Phago

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Riva Arthur	362,000 12,000	12,000

Daisuke Sawayama	153,900 9,700	9,700

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

With the flop showing Q♣10♣3♣, Samy Boujmala check-called a bet of 3,000 by table big stack Michal Schuh and that led them to the Q♥ on the turn. Boujmala checked and Schuh went into the tank for a good two minutes. He then bet 12,000 and Boujmala snap-folded.

Michal Schuh	295,000 157,400	157,400

Andre Cabrini raised to 2,000 with the Q♥J♠ and Linglin Zeng called with the 4♥4♣, Takuya Oku defended the K♣9♣ from the big blind. The K♠7♥4♠ flop was checked to Cabrini, who bet 3,000 and was called two ways.

On the A♣ turn, Cabrini bet 11,000 with 26,700 behind and Zeng raised to 50,000, covering both opponents. Oku folded and Cabrini also sent his cards into the muck.
