Tomes is "the Captain"; Markachev Makes a Big Call Against Alyas
Tomas Zeleny was on the button with a raise of 4,200 in front of him and Mikolaj Zawadzki called in the small blind. Marek Tomes then reraised to 12,600 under the gun and Zeleny called, while Zawadzki laughed and pointed his finger at Tomes.
"I call him the Captain," tablemate Viet Vo said as Zawadzki folded, going off to converse with Dominik Panka on the rail.
Tomes and Zeleny went heads-up to the A♦3♦4♦ flop where Tomes bet 8,900. Zeleny called and the 9♣ fell on the turn.
Tomes then bet 17,000 and Zeleny again called. The river was the J♦ and Tomes took a few minutes before betting 26,100. Zeleny also tanked for several minutes and eventually called.
"Ace-king with the king of diamonds," Vo said to Tomes, who indeed turned over A♥K♦ to win the pot.
At the next table over, Shashank Jain had raised to 7,500 on the button and Massoud Alyas called in early position. Anton Markachev then reraised to 21,000 in middle position, and only Alyas called.
Both players checked to the river on a board of A♣Q♦2♠A♦8♥ when Alyas led out for 25,000. Markachev considered the decision for several minutes until Alyas called the clock on him. Markachev eventually called, and Alyas showed 10♠8♠. Markachev, though, turned over J♣J♠ to win the pot.
