Mikolaitis Value-Bets River

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Dominykas Mikolaitis raised from under the gun to 60,000, and Paulius Vaitiekunas was the lone caller from the cutoff. The flop came out with KJ10, and both players checked.

The turn 5 was also checked by both players.

On the river 4, Mikolaitis put out a bet of 200,000.

Vaitiekunas stated, "I can't beat much," as he called and mucked when he saw his opponent's cards.

Mikolaitis showed J8 for a pair of jacks.

Pecheux Puts Bonin in the Blender

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Eric Bonin
Eric Bonin

Erwann Pecheux raised to 60,000 from the hijack and Eric Bonin three-bet to 185,000 from the small blind. Pecheux called.

Bonin continued for 55,000 on the monotone A58 flop, and Pecheux stuck around with a call.

A 7 on the turn prompted Bonin to fire a second barrel of 150,000. Again, Pecheux called.

The 10 completed the runout, putting a flush on the board, and Bonin opted to check. Pecheux slid out a bet of 475,000, committing the majority of his stack.

Bonin deliberated over the decision for quite some time before ultimately electing to fold, surrendering the pot to Pecheux.

The flop came 9K9, Faria led out for 30,000, and Sammartino called.

The 5 turn went check, check, as did the 6 river.

Faria tabled A3 for ace-high and Sammartino mucked.

"Show Me a Bluff, Like, Seven-Deuce Offsuit or Something"

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

There were roughly 360,000 chips in the pot on 8J9A2.

Brek Schutten, in the small blind, bet 50,000, and Jean Lhuillier, in the big blind, raised to 300,000.

Schutten went deep into the tank before he folded and said, "Show me a bluff, like, seven-deuce offsuit or something."

Lhuillier, who looked pretty smug, windmilled 32 while he was scooping the pot.

One Time, Not This Time

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kim Wittendorff
Kim Wittendorff

The action was picked up with Benjamin Pollak, in the small blind, cold-calling a raise. Kim Wittendorff went over the top with an all-in from the big blind, the opener folded, and Pollak made the call.

Kim Wittendorff: Q6All in
Benjamin Pollak: AK

With the table almost in shock at his play, Wittendorff asked for help from the poker gods.

"May I use this as my one time?" he said.

The runout of 391047 did not deliver the one-time Wittendorff desired.

Trigueiro Hits The River

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Facundo Trigueiro raised from under the gun to 50,000, Jeremy Izquierdo called from the button, and JC Tran called from the big blind. The flop came out with A45. Tran checked, Trigueiro bet 105,000, Izquierdo folded, and Tran called.

Both players checked the turn 9.

On the river J, Tran took a shot and bet 125,000; Trigueiro quickly called and showed Tran the bad news.

Tran turned over A10 for top pair, and Trigueiro turned over JJ for a set of jacks and the win.

One of the other players stated jokingly, "Got there on the river? Is that a standard river for you?"

Trigueiro just laughed.

Bernardo Neves
Bernardo Neves

Action went heads-up to a flop of 848 in a hand between Bernardo Neves in the hijack and Zackary Estes in the big blind.

Estes check-raised to 75,000 over Neves' bet of 35,000 and Neves responded with a reraise to 120,000. Estes then came over the top and moved all in to put Neves at risk, who had about 185,000 back. Neves made the call.

Bernardo Neves: JJ All in
Zackary Estes: 108

"Good luck guys," said Neves as the board ran out 9, 9.

Smiljkovic Overbets the River

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Benjamin Chalot raised to 50,000 from under the gun, and Daniel Smiljkovic defended his big blind.

Smiljkovic check-called a continuation-bet of 50,000 from Chalot on the Q103 flop.

Both players checked the J turn before the 7 completed the board. Smiljkovic overbet jammed, covering Chalot's remaining 650,000, and Chalot quickly folded.
