Del Pino Hero-Calls Correctly

Christian Zetzsche

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On the tail end of a 5♣3♥2♥9♣4♣ board with more than 130,000 already in the middle, Grant Maruya bet 83,000. Omar Del Pino went deep into the tank and eventually called.

"You win," Maruya instantly said and exposed his Q♥J♦ for a queen-high bluff. Del Pino had that beat with the J♣J♥ to drag in a very healthy pot.

Joshua Kay opened to 6,000 in early position and Yuya Sakamoto called on the button before Eric Penner three-bet to 27,000 in the big blind.

Kay four-bet to 70,000 and Sakamoto tank-folded before Penner five-bet jammed a stack of around 200,000. Kay quickly called.

Eric Penner: K♥K♣ All in
Joshua Kay: A♣A♥

It was the cooler of all coolers and Penner couldn't hit a king as the board ran out 3♦7♥J♦8♦10♣ to mark his elimination. After the hand, Sakamoto told the table he folded ace-king suited.

Brett Slezak

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Robert Kim opened from under the gun and was called by Nan Min in the big blind.

On the K♥9♥7♥ flop, Min checked to Kim who bet 12,000 before Min check-jammed for a total of 27,000. Kim called.

Nan Min: A♥2♥ All in
Robert Kim: 7♠7♦

Kim had flopped button set but was behind the flopped nut flush of Min. No waiting was required as the 9♣ landed on the turn to give Kim a full house and leave Min drawing dead to the 2♠ river as she hit the rail in brutal fashion.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Daniele Primerano opened from the cutoff and Tauan Naves three-bet the button to 18,000. When it got back to Primerano, he took some time before he shoved, and Naves made the call for his last 87,000.

Tauan Naves: A♣Q♦ All in
Daniele Primerano: 4♠4♦

Naves had to win a flip to stay alive, and seemed almost certain to do so after he flopped Broadway on J♦10♠K♥. Primerano was left drawing dead on the 6♠ turn, and the meaningless Q♥ filled out the board.

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Samuel Roussy-Majeau opened the action from the hijack, raising to 5,000. Jessica Vierling responded with a three-bet to 16,500 from the button. After a short pause, Roussy-Majeau came back with a four-bet to 29,000, and Vierling quickly moved all in. Roussy-Majeau snap-called to set up a showdown.

Jessica Vierling: J♥J♣ All in
Samuel Roussy-Majeau: A♣K♠

Vierling was ahead preflop, but the dealer wasted no time flipping the script as the flop landed A♠A♦4♠, giving Roussy-Majeau trips with top kicker. The 10♦ turn and Q♣ river offered no help to Vierling, who hit the rail while Roussy-Majeau raked in a decent pot.
