Nakdali Stacks Up

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Players were already on the turn looking at a 104K7 board. The pot stood at around 20,000, and Yaman Nakdali bet out 11,000 from the small blind. Yang Zhou was in the big blind and folded, and Jon Vallinas called from the cutoff.

The play went heads-up to the Q river, and Nakdali bet 16,000. Vallinas went into a small tank and used one of his time banks before folding.

In the next hand, Sean Winter opened to 4,500 from early position and Blaz Zerjav three-bet to 14,000 from the cutoff. Nakdali four-bet for 37,000 on the button and Winter folded. Zerjav tank-called, and the players went heads-up to the flop.

A 8K3 board was dealt, and Zerjav checked. Nakdali bet 16,000, and Zerjav folded.

Hemyari Back on the Horse

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was joined with 32,000 already in the pot, and a 1089 flop face-up on the felt.

The recently eliminated but then immediately reentered Keyavash Hemyari checked in the hijack, and Lander Lijo checked behind in the cutoff.

Hemyari took the initiative on the 3 turn, betting 15,000, which Lijo called.

The 5 completed the board, and on this occasion, when Hemyari barrelled for 55,000, Lijo folded.

David Coleman got in his remaining 12,500 in from under the gun and saw his neighbor three-bet to 22,500 from early position. Frank Funaro made it 65,000 from the small blind, and his opponent called, pushing all his chips in and putting himself at risk.

David Coleman: A5All in
Early Position: 1010All in
Frank Funaro: KK

It was a dream flop for Coleman after seeing the A57 board, and he held to triple up on the 4 turn and J river.

He scooped some more in the next hand after Mike Meskin opened from the cutoff and Frank Funaro called on the button. Coleman jammed from the big blind for his then 39,500 stack, and saw no callers.

The action went check, check for the 6 to come on the river. Laskowitz moved all in, having Wilson covered. Wilson went into the tank, being charged one time bank before he released his hand to send the pot to Laskowitz with no showdown.
