Eychenne and Aerts Play a Three-Bet Pot

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

Thomas Eychenne made it 3,500 from the cutoff and Pieter Aerts three-bet the big blind to 16,000. Eychenne decided to call.

Both saw the Q4J flop and Aerts went for a check. Eychenne bet 9,000, which Aerts called.

A 7 dropped on the turn and both checked for the K to complete the board. Aerts bet 35,000, and Eychenne quickly folded.

Mustafov Knocks Out Ruijs

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

Joris Ruijs raised to 3,500 from under the gun. Fahredin Mustafov, who was the big blind, masde the call.

The flop came 726. Ruijs bet 10,000, Mustafov raised to 37,000.

Ruijs moved all in with just over 100,000 chips. Mustafov quickly called.

Joris Ruijs: 86All in
Fahredin Mustafov: 77

Mustafov flopped top set, Ruijs had a flush draw.

The turn brought the 6, giving Mustafov a fullhouse and the win. Ruijs river flush from the 5 was meaningless.

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

Heads up to the flop of 275 with 7,000 in the pot.

Neil Warren bet out for 4,000 from early position, only to face a raise from Justin Arnwine in late position to 13,000. Warren countered with a re-raise to 42,000, which was met with a re-re-raise all in jam for 140,000 from Arnwine.

Warren went deep into the tank and used one time bank before he tossed in the call to put Arnwine at risk.

Justin Arnwine: 99 All in
Neil Warren: 107

No help for Warren on the A turn nor the 3 river and Arnwine was pushed the pot for a double up whilst Warren was left with a bowl of rice and less than two big blinds.

Kuznetsov Picks Up a Multi-Way Pot

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

Four-way to the flop of QK10 with about 12,000 in the middle and it was checked around to Nikita Kuznetsov in the cutoff, who fired out for 3,500.

He found calls from Andrew Ostapchenko on the button, Joe McKeehen in the small blind and Ognyan Dimov in the big blind.

The payers checked down the 5 turn and 7 river. Kuznetsov tabled K2 for top pair which was good for the pot when all other players mucked their hands.

Big Pot, River Fold

Level 1 : Blinds 1,000/1,000, 1,000 ante
Chang Lee
Chang Lee

The hand was picked up with the board reading 7AK93, a potential flush having hit on the river, almost 250,000 chips in the pot and the action on Chang Lee.

Lee was in a heads-up against Yaman Nakdali. He studied the situation and moved all-in with his last 108,000.

Nakdali, who was on the button, used two time banks considering his options.

He eventually folded.

"You didn't have an ace?" Lee asked.

"No," said Nakdali.
