Saliba and Arieh Get Short

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

In a three-way pot, Josh Arieh checked from under the gun and was the only player to call a bet of 5,000 from Ismael Bojang, in the cutoff, on a {K-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. Arieh also checked the {5-Hearts} turn, and Bojang asked, "How much do you have behind, like 40?"

Arieh replied with, "Not that much, only 29," and Bojang bet 10,000 just moments later. Arieh elected to fold and dropped back to a dangerous short stack.

Vivian Saliba has even less than that on a different table, and both will have to make a move soon.

Jachtmann Doubles Through Josephy

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 0 ante
Jan-Peter Jachtmann
Jan-Peter Jachtmann

Picking up the action on the three-way turn of {J-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, Jan-Peter Jachtmann faced a bet of 66,000 from Cliff Josephy, in the cutoff, and check-called while the third player in the hand let it go. The {2-Diamonds} river completed the board, and Jachtmann moved all in for his last 20,300.

After brief consideration, Josephy announced, "Okay I call," and Jachtmann turned over {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for the nut flush. Josephy wanted to muck his cards, but as per the showdown rules, Jachtmann insisted that the cards were revealed. Josephy had {Q-Diamonds}{J-}{8-Diamonds}{7-} for the queen-high flush and lost the vast majority of his stack.

The next hand, Jachtmann limped in from the small blind, and Anthony Zinno checked in the big blind. Jachtmann check-called a bet of 2,200 from Zinno on the {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} flop and did so again for 4,000 on the {K-Hearts} turn. Jachtmann then bet the {3-Hearts} river for 15,000, and Zinno folded.

Don't Bluff Cliff Josephy

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Cliff Josephy faced a bet of 25,500 on the river of a {4-Spades}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts} board. Josephy clearly had a tough decision to make and took a few moments analyzing. He eventually made the call.

His opponent's hand was not clear, but Josephy turned over {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to win with just a pair of kings.

"I'm not going to try and bluff you," said Jan-Peter Jachtmann from across the table as Josephy was pushed the pot.
