Juanda Wins Without Showdown

Ryan Lashmar

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With three players seeing a board of A♦6♥3♠7♠ and around 25,000 in the middle, Maria Konnikova checked from the small blind and Christopher Chaudey checked from the big blind. John Juanda bet 8,200 from the hijack and only Chaudey called.

Chaudey checked the 7♥ river and Juanda shoved, covering Chaudey who had around 20,000 behind. Chaudey mucked his hand face-up, showing 10♥10♠ before Juanda dragged in the pot.

Elsewhere in the tournament area, defending champion Michael Rocco recently took his seat.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Krasimir Yankov and Akihiro Konishi had built a pot worth 8,000, and were looking at a 4♣Q♦5♦8♠ board.

Akihiro Konishi, in the small blind, checked over to Yankov, who placed a bet of 5,800. Konishi then responded with a check-raise to 14,500, which Yankov called.

The dealer added the 6♠ to the board, and Konishi placed another bet, this time for 6,800. Yankov took his time considering a response, but elected just to fold.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Felipe Ketzer opened to 1,000 from the hijack and received calls from Kristen Foxen on the button and Zhou Lin in the big blind.

The flop came 10♣8♦4♣ and action checked around to Foxen who bet 1,600. Only Lin called.

Both players checked the Q♥ turn leading to the J♠ river. Lin bet 3,900 and Foxen raised to 11,000. Lin folded after about 30 seconds of contemplation and Foxen took the pot.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Dong Chen began the action with a raise to 1,000 from the hijack and was called by Adrien Favre-Felix in the cutoff. Rogen Chhabra asked for more as he raised to 4,500 from the button. Chen folded, but Favre-Felix chose to call to create a heads-up pot.

Both players checked the 10♠9♥4♠ flop, which brought about the 10♣ turn. Favre-Felix chose to bet 5,000 and Chhabra responded with a call.

The 10♥ river put three tens on the board. Favre-Felix chose to bet smaller, to the tune of 3,000. Chhabra wasted no time making the call to send them to a showdown.

Favre-Felix showed 5♥5♣ for a full house, but Chhabra's boat was better as he revealed the Q♠Q♦.

Overbet Turn, Give Up River

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The action was joined as Pierre Calamusa and Breno Drumond had already built a pot of 13,400 going to a turn card.

The flop 4♣9♦5♥ was joined by the 10♣ turn card. Calamusa placed a bet of 16,000 from the big blind, and Drumond, on the button, made the call.

The river brought the K♥, and when Calamusa checked, Drumond immediately checked behind.

Calamusa showed 6♣5♣ for a pair of fives, which was no good versus Drumond's 10♦8♦.

Calamusa questioned Drumond on whether a river shove would have got through. Drumond initially said he wasn't sure, before letting his opponent know it would have worked.

Erick Torres

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Cherish Andrews opened from the cutoff to 800 and was called by Sergio Peral on the button and Joshua Jacobson in the small blind.

All three players checked the 3♦9♥J♥ flop, which brought the 7♣ turn.

Jacobson and Andrews checked the turn before Peral put out a bet of 1,600. Jacobson folded, but Andrews opted to call to send them to a river.

The 5♦ river was checked by Andrews before Peral chose to put Andrews all in for 18,700. Andrews paused to give it some consideration before she folded to award the pot to Peral.

Foxen River Bet Takes It

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Kristen Foxen kicked the action off with a raise under the gun to 1,000. Zhou Lin called from the cutoff, which encouraged the player on the button and the player in the big blind to follow suit.

All four players checked on the K♦4♣3♦ flop. Foxen then picked her betting lead back up on the 10♥ turn, placing a bet of 3,000. Lin called, but the other two players got out of the way.

The dealer then added the Q♦ river to the board, and Foxen continued for 7,500. An indecisive Lin then toiled with whether or not to call. He cut out the chips ready to make the call, but ultimately decided just to let go of his hand, with a pained look on his face.

Zhou Lin	73,800 13,800	13,800
