Jeschka Pays Off Zerjav's Cowboys

Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Blaz Zerjav
Blaz Zerjav

Heads up to the 743 flop with 8,000 in the pot.

Hannes Jeschka check-called Blaz Zerjav's 2,500 bet for the players to see the 9 peel off as the turn.

Jeschka checked it over to Zerjav once more, who barrelled a second bullet of 17,000. Jeschka flat-called.

The river brought the 9, and Jeschka checked for a third time. Zerjav didn't slow down and fired off a third bullet of 67,000.

This sent Jeschka deep into the tank, and he used two time extensions before he made the call, but mucked his hand on seeing Zerjav table KK

Weinraub Wins a Multi-way Pot

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

In a single raised pot with around 13,500 in the pot, three players were looking at a flop of 4Q5. Vladimir Minko and Adam Weinraub checked from the blinds, and Qinghai Pan bet 9,000 from under the gun. Minko and Weinraub called.

Minko checked again on the 5 turn and Weinraub opted to lead out for 20,000. Pan folded, but Minko called.

Both checked the 10 river and Minko tabled K6 for a busted flush draw. Weinraub turned over QJ for a pair of queens to take the pot.

Nguyen Taken Out

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

With Christopher Nguyen already all-in from the small blind, Alex Foxen, raised to 3,500 from middle position.

Pavel Plesuv called from the big blind, creating a side pot with Foxen.

The flop came 8Q10. Plesuv reached for chips, Foxen folded leaving Plesuv and Nguyen for the main pot.

Christopher Nguyen: 32All in
Pavel Plesuv: Q10

With Plesuv having flopped two pair, Nguyen had little hope.

while the 2 turn gave him a little more, the 7 on the river sealed his fate and sent him to the WSOP app to rebuy into the event.

The board paired again on the river with the 8. Nguyen studied for a bit, then bet 98,000, holding back a pair of 500 chips.

Hannes Jeschka
Hannes Jeschka

Heads up to the turn of 1029Q and there was nearly 60,000 in the pot.

Jean-Robert Bellande checked from the hijack, as did Hannes Jeschka in the cutoff.

The dealer peeled off the 4 as the river, and Bellande tanked for a while before he checked to Jeschka once more, who fired out a river bet of 50,000.

This sent Bellande back into the tank, and he was charged one time bank before he mucked his hand and the pot was pushed to Jeschka with no showdown.

Pavel Plesuv AKAll in
Fahredin Mustafov: AQ

The runout was kind to Plesuv, as the final board of 6K9Q9 resulted in a nice double-up.

When the flop came 4910, Foxen bet 24,000. Nguyen moved all in. Foxen made the call immediately.

Christopher Nguyen: KKAll in
Alex Foxen: KK

Nguyen laughed as soon as Foxen tabled his hand. With the board running out 32 on the river and turn, a split pot was at hand.

"That's so disappointing," Foxen said with a smile.
