Alioto Chipping Up Early

Stewart Morrison

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Action was joined as Piero Alioto and Bradford Albrinck were competing for a pot worth roughly 10,500, with a turn about to be dealt.

The flop 4♠K♥A♦ was joined by the J♥ turn card. Alioto check-called a bet of 5,000 from Albrinck.

The river saw both players check, and when Alioto showed his K♣J♣ for two pair, Albrinck mucked his cards.

Jordan Glazer started the action from the hijack with a raise to 700, which was promptly met by a three-bet to Alejandro Lococo one seat to his left. Lococo made it 2,100, and both Krasimir Yankov on the button, and Glazer made the call.

Glazer and Lococo both checked on the connected 8♥9♦7♠ flop, before seeing Yankov place a bet of 2,400.

His two opponents quickly released their cards, and Yankov pulled in the pot uncontested.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Krasimir Yankov raised from the cutoff to 800, and was swiftly met by a three-bet as Kevin Nathan raised to 2,000 on the button. The rest of the table folded, but Yankov made the call.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♦3♥5♥, and Yankov check-called another bet of 2,000 before both players checked on the flush completing J♥ turn.

When Yankov checked for a third time, Nathan fired out another bet of 3,100. This was enough to see him win the pot, as Yankov returned his cards to the dealer.

Alt Takes Small Pot from Livschitz

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Erick Torres

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Dinesh Alt raised to 800 from the cutoff and was called in only one spot by Victoria Livschitz in the big blind.

Both players opted to check the 5♣Q♠3♣ flop, and the 5♥ turn.

Livschitz bet 1,200 on the 4♦ river, which was called by Alt. This prompted Livschitz to muck her cards without showing. Alt thus dragged the pot without having to show as he continued to chip up in the early stages of the tournament.

Sokolovsky Applies Pressure

Stewart Morrison

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Clemen Deng raised under the gun to 700, and only Alexander Sokolovsky called, defending his big blind.

When Sokolovsky checked on the J♥J♠Q♠ flop, Deng continued for 500. Sokolovsky then put in a check-raise to 2,200, which Deng called.

The turn added the 7♥ to the board, and Sokolovsky continued with a bet of 7,500. This was enough to force Deng out of the pot, as he returned his cards to the dealer.
