Boghean Victorious in Four-Way Pot

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Vlado Banicevic raised to 1,800 from under the gun and Martin Ryan called from the hijack. Nikola Minkov then also joined in from the cutoff before Andrei Boghean three-bet to 10,000 chips from the small blind. All three players made the call, sending the quartet off to a flop of A♠5♥8♦.

Boghean continued for 8,200 and Banicevic was the only caller, as Ryan and Minkov got out of the way. Boghean then slowed down and checked the 7♣ turn, after which Banicevic bet out 16,500.

Boghean made the call and both players checked the subsequent 2♠ river. Boghean showed his A♦Q♠ and Banicevic quickly flashed his AxJx before sending it in the muck and forfeiting the big pot to Boghean.

Everyone checked on the J♣4♥3♦ flop and action checked to Kvesic on the A♦ turn. Kvesic bet 2,000 and Sidhu called. Suvarna then check-raised to 8,000, which got a fold from Kvesic, but a call from Sidhu.

The 7♥ completed the board and Sidhu check-folded facing a 9,000 bet from Suvarna.

"Flush draw," Sidhu said as Suvarna collected the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ramzi Zuraikat and Alain Bauer were involved in a pot worth 11,000 chips. Arriving on the turn on 3♦A♥K♠9♣, Zuraikat checked and Bauer put a slight over-bet of 12,000 in the middle.

Zuraikat then raised to 35,000 and sent Bauer into the tank.

"You have three options, call, raise, or fold," Zuraikat explained at some point.

"I don't know yet, but I think I will call," Bauer replied.

"I don't think so," said Zuraikat, and he would be right as Bauer released his hand not much later, awarding yet another put to Zuraikat.
