Vazquez Wins a Multi-Way Pot

Tim Baker

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Juan Vazquez came in with a raise to 1,300 from early position with Vlastimil Cerny calling on the button, and Josef Obermeier defending his big blind.

After Obermeier checked the A♥7♥3♦ flop, Vazquez tossed out a bet of 1,800. Cerny and Obermeier called.

Still three ways to the 10♣ turn that saw Obermeier check for a second time. Vazquez fired a second barrel of 5,500, which forced both of his opponents to fold.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Renato Ardelean was in an early position when he bet 7,000 on a board of 7♣3♠10♦Q♠.

Vitaliy Kryza, in the cutoff, however, raised to 21,000, so Ardelean went into the tank before making the call.

Ardelean checked the 2♥ river, and Kryza asked for 21,000 again. Ardelean eventually made the call but lost to Kryza's two pair with Q♣10♣.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Petru Tarlev opened to 1,500 from middle position, and was met with a three-bet to 5,000 from Vasyl Vorynka in the hijack. Action folded back to Tarlev, who called.

On the 9♣7♦3♥ flop, Tarlev check-called a bet of 4,000 from Vornyka.

The same pattern followed on the 2♥ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 13,000 from Vornyka.

The 10♠ hit on the river and was checked through. Tarlev confidently tabled 8♠8♣ for third pair eights, and that was good enough to force Vornyka to muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Petru Tarlev	170,000
Vasyl Vorynka	87,300

[Removed:599] opened from the cutoff to 1,500, and received a call on the button, before Govert Metaal produced a three-bet to 5,600 from the big blind.

[Removed:601] took quite a bit of time for thought, before four-betting to 12,500. The button folded, and Metaal called.

On the 10♣5♣2♣ flop, Metaal check-called in the face of a bet of 7,000 from [Removed:601].

The A♦ turn was quickly checked to the Q♥ river, where Metaal led out with a bet of 13,000. After at least two minutes of thought, [Removed:601] folded.

Kai Cocklin

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Siamak Tooran had his stack of 22,700 in preflop, and was put at risk by Shaun Deeb.

Siamak Tooran: A♦Q♣ All in
Shaun Deeb: 7♥7♦

It was a flip. and one that seemed to be heading the way of Tooran as he paired his queen on the Q♠3♣8♥ flop. Deeb was looking for a seven, but the K♥5♥ runout didn't contain any, which meant a portion of his stack was sent over to Tooran.

Player	Chips	Progress
Shaun Deeb	105,000 25,000	25,000

Siamak Tooran	47,000

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Mihai Hanu opened from early position to 1,500 and Natanel Elidan three-bet from middle position to 4,000. Vitezslav Cech was on the button and cold four-bet to 9,500, which only Elidan called.

The flop of K♠9♦5♥ saw Elidan check-call a bet of 3,500 from Cech to the 10♦ turn. Again Elidan checked, but this time he folded when Cech bet 13,000.
