Kribben Gets Respect

Dan O'Hair

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Matthias Kribben opened to 1,000 from early position and was three-bet to 2,100 by Andrea Dao from the hijack. Christian Rudolph called cold on the button and Kribben called as well.

It was checked to Rudolph on the 8♥8♠10♣ flop and he bet 2,000. Kribben responded by check-raising to 6,000, which got two quick folds from Dato and Rudolph to take the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Heads-up on a board of 4♥2♦K♦3♦, Adem Marjanovic bet 2,200 from the button before Aliaksei Boika raised to 7,500 in the hijack.

Marjanovic called and the A♥ fell on the river. Boika then bet another 30,000. Marjanovic spent several minutes in the tank before mucking.

"Fours," a tablemate asked him, and Marjanovic nodded.

"I couldn't find any bluffs," Marjanovic said.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 700 from middle position and Ramzi Zuraikat called from the cutoff. Mateos then made a continuation-bet of 500 on the K♠J♥K♣ flop before Zuraikat put in a raise to 2,200. Mateos made the call and the 7♣ turn hit the felt.

Mateos checked to the raiser, who increased his sizing to 5,100 chips. Mateos still stuck around with a call before he checked the J♦ river as well. Zuraikat checked behind quickly and Mateos showed his K♥9♥ for a full house.

"I knew you had that!", exclaimed Zuraikat, who showed his J♣ for a lesser full house.

The very next hand, Zuraikat open-raised from the hijack and Simon Wilson put in a three-bet to 2,400 from the cutoff. Wilson then made the minimum bet of 300 on the 10♠J♥10♦ flop and Zuraikat called.

The 3♦ turn checked through before Zuraikat made a bet of 2,200 on the 3♥ river. Wilson looked him up but mucked his cards once he saw the K♠K♣ of Zuraikat, who won the pot with his kings.

Zuraikat Folds a Pair; Stoica First Out

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Adrian Mateos raised to 700 in the cutoff and was called by Maxim Panyak on the button before small blind Ramzi Zuraikat three-bet to 2,100 in the small blind.

Both Mateos and Panyak called to the A♠9♥6♠ flop, where Zuraikat bet another 2,600. Panyak called, while Mateos got out of the way heading to the Q♠ turn.

Zuraikat slowed down and checked as Panyak fired out 5,200. Zuraikat turned over 8♣8♥ and tossed them into the muck as Panyak took the pot.

Earlier on the day, Zuraikat won a massive pot off Roman Stoica, and the guys at PokerFirma told PokerNews the details.

There was 6,500 in the pot on the 10♣8♦6♦J♦ board and Zuraikat had a bet of 27,200 in front of him, indicating there was some previous action on the turn. Stoica moved all in for 98,000, covering Zuraikat by 4,000. The latter went deep into the tank and eventually called.

Ramzi Zuraikat: 6♠6♣
Roman Stoica: A♦10♦

Zuraikat was behind with his set and needed the board to pair to survive. He called for the full house, and the dealer complied by finishing the board off with the 8♣. A few hands later, Stoica was eliminated.

Duc Tuan Tran was also recently eliminated.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

James Chen opened to 800 first-to-act and was called by Daniel Dvoress in the small blind and Levan Rcheulishvili
in the big blind.

Everyone checked on the 9♠7♠3♣ flop and then Dvoress bet 1,000 on the 10♣ turn. Both Rcheulishvili and Chen called.

The 7♣ completed the board and Dvoress checked to Rcheulishvili, who overbet the pot for 7,000. Chen got out of the way, but Dvoress decided to look Rcheulishvili up.

Rcheulishvili tabled 9♦7♥ for sevens-full and Dvoress mucked — conceding the pot to Rcheulishvili.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Maduka Meragal raised to 800 under the gun before Shawn Stroke three-bet to 2,400 in the hijack. Vasileios Panagiotidis called on the button, as did Meragal.

The flop came J♠A♥4♦ and Stroke continued for 3,500. Only Panagiotidis called to the 5♠ turn, where Stroke bet another 5,500.

Panagiotidis again called and the 7♠ fell on the river. Stroke bet 16,000 this time.

Panagiotidis quickly tossed in a chip to signify a call and Stroke turned over 5♦5♥ for a turned set. Panagiotidis studied the board for a bit before putting in the rest of the bet and surrendering it to Stroke.

Panyak Wins Two in a Row

Level 1 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Maxim Panyak and Simon Wilson were heads up on a flop of K♥3♦8♠. With around 5,000 chips in the pot, Panyak checked to Wilson, who put forth a bet of 1,500. Panyak made the call and the 5♠ turn appeared.

Wilson now upped the ante significantly, to 6,500. It did not deter Panyak from calling, however, as he did just so before the 8♦ river completed the board.

Both players now checked, and Panyak's 10♠10♦ won at showdown.

The next hand, Wilson open-raised from middle position, and Marco Poccia three-bet to 2,700 from the cutoff. Panyak then cold-called from the big blind and Wilson followed suit.

Poccia continued for 2,000 on the 5♣A♠2♣ flop, and both other players called. The Q♦ turn was then checked through before Panyak led out for 2,200 on the 4♦ turn.

Both players folded and Panyak raked in his second pot in a row as the field went on a break.
