Alaei Builds Back

Level 3 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

After folding to a river bet just a few hands ago, Daniel Alaei was now on the reverse side. Still in a round of pot-limit Omaha, Alaei (button) tangled with Andrey Zaichenko (big blind).

They were on the {Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Spades} river, with Zaichenko facing a bet of 37,000 from Alaei. It was just under a pot-sized bet, and Zaichenko seemed to be temped to call. He counted his stack during the thought process but eventually folded.

Cates Can't Shake Sexton

Level 3 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Picking up the action on the river of an {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{6-Spades} board with about 11,500 in the pot, Daniel Cates bet 9,000 from the big blind. Mike Sexton mulled it over for a few moments from the cutoff before he called.

Cates mucked immediately, and Sexton collected the pot without showing.

Alaei Folds to a River Bet

Level 3 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Three-way to the {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} turn, Daniel Alaei was first to act. He led out for 10,000, and his neighbor, Will Wilkinson, called while Andrey Zaichenko escaped.

The river was the {J-Spades}, and Alaei checked this time, leaving the betting initiative to Wilikinson, who bet 18,000. Alaei didn't fold instantly, but after 30 seconds, he decided to muck his hand.

Daher Gets Three Streets of Value from Shack-Harris

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Under the gun, Brandon Shack Harris opened to 1,200. Next to act was Albert Daher, who three-bet to 3,500, and the action folded back to Shack-Harris, who called.

Daher fired another 2,600 on the {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop, and Shack-Harris called again.

The {3-Diamonds} turn saw Daher pull out a second barrel worth 7,700. Shack-Harris kept calling.

Daher pulled the trigger one more time on the {Q-Hearts} river, setting the showdown price at 22,400. Shack-Harris spent roughly a minute thinking and eventually called.

Daher showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for top two pair, scooping the pot.

Dehkharghani Takes From Shak

Level 2 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

The pot was already over 35,000 with the board reading {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, and action was on Dan Shak. Shak bet 15,000, and Ray Dehkharghani called in position. Both players checked the {4-Diamonds} on the turn and {3-Clubs} on the river.

Shak showed {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, and Dehkharghani showed {K-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} for kings and fives to win the hand.
