Kabrhel "Straddles" With "Aces"

Frank Visser

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

"Straddle!" Martin Kabrhel declared as he raised to 800 under the gun. Corey Tigner called as next to act, and so did Matt O'Donnell in the cutoff.

Kabrhel continued for 1,500 on the 3♦3♠7♥ flop. Tigner called before O'Donnell folded. Kabrhel then dropped in an overbet of 10,000 on the 8♥ turn. Tigner gave his hand up as well, shipping the pot to Kabrhel.

"What did you have? Nines?" Kabrhel asked Tigner.

"Just a pocket pair. What did you have?" Tigner replied.

"I had pocket aces," Kabrhel claimed.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Viktor Blom raised to 1,000 from early position, and Dorian Decauche three-bet to 6,500 from the big blind. Blom called.

Both players checked the 2♣8♥10♥ flop before Decauche checked again on the 10♦ turn. Blom fired 8,600, and Decauche stuck around with a call.

The 3♣ completed the board, prompting a final check from Decauche. Blom quickly bet 19,000, sending Decauche into the tank.

After around two minutes, Decauche made the call, only to be shown 10♠9♠ for trip tens by Blom.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Davidi Kitai was seen with just 1,400 chips after returning from the break with 68,900.

He later explained on social media that Michael Leib in the big blind ended up moving all in for roughly 50,000 on a board of A♥5♠5♥2♦J♦ with 35,200 already in the pot. Holding pocket aces, Kitai, who had bet 27,500 from the hijack, made the call.

Michael Leib: 5♦5♣ All in
Davidi Kitai: A♠A♣

Kitai flopped a full house, but Leib made quads to secure a double-up. Despite the brutal beat, Kitai managed to rebuild his stack to 18,000.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

"You're my good luck charm!" Taylor von Kriegenbergh said to new tablemate Ren Lin after spiking a two-outer in a huge pot. "Tony the Tiger gets here and I hit a two-outer."

Von Kriegenbergh opened preflop before his opponent three-bet to 4,000. Von Kriegenbergh responded with a four-bet to 13,000, which his opponent called. Von Kriegenbergh continued for 8,000 on the 4♦4♥7♦ flop and his opponent called once more.

The rest of the chips went into the middle on the 10♥ turn, creating a pot of around 100,000.

Opponent: A♦A♣ All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: K♥K♠

Von Kriegenbergh looked disgusted after seeing the cards turned over, but the K♦ river turned his frown upside down, giving him a set to crack his opponent's aces, win the massive pot, and send his tablemate to the rail.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Serhii Popovych limped under the gun, Mike Dentale limped in the hijack, and Anthony Mullen limped in the cutoff before Rami Ilyasov bumped it up to 1,600 from the button. When it got back to Popovych, he limp-raised to 6,600, and only Ilyasov called.

On the 10♣3♣2♠ flop, Popovych continued his aggression with a bet of 8,800, and Ilyasov called again.

Popovych then slowed down with a check on the 6♦ turn, and Ilyasov was content to do the same.

The river brought the 9♠ as Popovych announced a bet of 18,000, and Ilyasov instantly flicked in a chip to call. Popovych tabled J♥9♣ for the rivered second pair, but it was second-best to the Q♦10♦ of Ilyasov, who flopped top pair and won a massive pot as the other members of the table traded confused looks at one another.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Around 10,000 was in the pot as Jared Jaffee and Benjamin Grise went to the turn on a board of K♥8♥9♦8♦. Jaffee then bet 6,400 from middle position, and Grise called in early position.

The river was the 8♣ and Jaffee moved all in. Grise quickly called for his last 30,000 and turned over A♠K♣ for a full house, but Jaffee had K♠K♦ for kings full to win the pot and send Grise to the rail.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

With about 37,000 in the pot on a board of 7♣J♦5♠10♣K♥, Laith Sheena checked from early position, and Claudio Elizalde fired out a bet of 28,000 from middle position, sending Sheena deep into the tank.

Sheena looked visibly uncomfortable with the decision Elizalde had left him, his chips repeatedly moving from one hand to the other as he weighed up his options. After a couple of minutes, he finally tossed in a single chip to call.

Elizalde tabled the winner with Q♠9♠ for a rivered straight, earning him the pot and pushing his stack to almost 100,000.

Stewart Morrison

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Jesse Rivera raised to 900 in early position, and Antonio Da Costa called in the cutoff. Kristen Foxen then three-bet to 4,500 on the button, which both Rivera and Da Costa called.

The action checked in flow to Foxen, who continued with a bet of 4,000 on a 6♦K♦4♣ flop. Rivera called, but Da Costa folded.

Rivera checked for a second time on the Q♦ turn, but once again check-called when Foxen barrelled with a 16,000 bet.

The 9♣ river saw Rivera switch tactics, this time leading out with a bet of 12,700, leaving 26,000 behind. Foxen took stock of Rivera's remaining stack, and then moved all in, with a covering stack.

After some deliberation, Rivera folded K♠Q♠ face up.

"You can pick one, either one," Foxen told Rivera.

"No, it's a trap; I know you have a flush anyway," he responded.

The rest of the table was surprised that Rivera didn't want to see a card.

Rivera was confident in his read of the situation, as he continued, "It doesn't matter; she has a flush."

Foxen let another player at the table pick a card, who flipped over the 10♥.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Daniel Negreanu raised to 600 in the hijack. Philip Bottos upped the ante to 2,100 in the cutoff, which Negreanu swiftly called.

Negreanu check-called Bottos' continuation-bet of 1,700 on the J♣3♥5♠ flop. The 3♠ turn then went check, check, prompting Negreanu to toss in a bet of 5,000 on the 10♥ river.

Bottos needed little time before he called. Negreanu could only show king-high with K♣9♣, leaving Bottos to take the pot with 9♠9♥.
