Majtyka Bluff-Catches

Richard Hayes

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michal Majtyka opened to 5,000 under the gun, and received calls from Vivian Saliba on the button, and Catalin Pop and Samir Nacer in the blinds.

The K♣Q♠5♥ flop was checked through to the 6♥ turn, where Nacer led out with a bet of 17,500 when Pop checked. Majtyka and Saliba both called to see the 5♣ river.

Nacer fired again with a bet of 35,000, which only Majtyka called.

Nacer tabled A♥2♥ for the missed flush draw, and Majtyka took the pot with K♦J♣ for top pair kings.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

When the action folded around to Benedikt Zeyher in the small blind, he shoved, and Shaun Deeb called for his stack of around 32,000 in the big blind.

Shaun Deeb: A♦6♦ All in
Benedikt Zeyher: Q♠9♠

Deeb was ahead, but the flop of 7♠5♠2♦ made things a lot sweatier as Zeyher picked up a flush draw. It was all over on the 10♠ turn as Zeyher improved to an unbeatable flush. A meaningless 9♣ fell on the river, and Deeb made his exit as Zeyher raked the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With Said Madani all-in from the small blind, Cheng Zhao fired out a bet of 22,000 from the big blind on a flop of 4♥Q♦2♣. Istvan Pilhofer, who was seated in the cutoff, called to see a turn.

Zhao slowed down and checked the 10♥ turn, prompting Pilhofer to bet 38,000. Zhao took a few moments, then check-jammed, putting Pilhofer all in for his stack of around 100,000 total. Pilhofer let out a long sigh, sat back in his chair, then made the call to put himself at risk.

Said Madani: A♠8♥ All in
Istvan Pilhofer: 4♠4♣ All in
Cheng Zhao: 10♣10♦

Pilhofer had flopped a set of fours, but Zhao spiked a higher set on the turn. The 7♣ completed the board, and Zhao collected all of Pilhofer's and Madani's chips.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Vlad Andrusca raised to 6,000 in the hijack before Timofei Asmolov three-bet to 16,000 in the cutoff. Davide Suriano called on the button, while Andrusca also called.

All three players checked the 9♠8♠3♣ flop. Action was then checked to Suriano on the 4♠ turn and he bet 25,000. Andrusca folded, but Asmolov moved all in and Suriano snap-called for 100,000.

Suriano showed K♠K♦, while Asmolov had A♠Q♥ for a flush draw. The 3♠ river gave Asmolov his flush as Suriano shot out of his seat in disgust and stopped to snap a photo of the board.

"Sorry," Asmolov said to him before Suriano made his exit.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Bastian Dohler bet 15,000 from the big blind on a flop of 9♠Q♣2♠ and Campbell Ashton called in middle position.

The turn was the A♣ and Dohler checked to Ashton who moved all in for 45,000. Dohler took a minute before calling with Q♥J♦, while Ashton had K♣J♣ for straight and flush draws.

The Q♠ improved Dohler to trips, and Ashton was sent to the rail.

At another table, Aiguo Xu was all in for his last 30,000 from the hijack and up against Deniz Dogan on the button.

Aiguo Xu: Q♥10♠ All in
Deniz Dogan: A♥K♥

The Q♣10♠J♣ flop gave Xu two pair but Dogan a straight as Xu, despite the perilousness of his situation, burst out laughing along with tablemate Renji Mao. He needed to improve on the turn or river, but he missed the K♠ and 5♣ and was sent to the rail.

Bastian Dohler	350,000 175,600	175,600
Deniz Dogan	100,000 82,500	82,500

Attila Almasi was all-in for around 32,000 and at risk against Ren Lin.

Attila Almasi: A♥10♣ All in
Ren Lin: A♣9♦

Almasi had Lin pipped, but Almasi was shaking his head in disbelief after the A♠9♠8♣ flop gave Lin top two pair, a position Almasi could not reverse on the 8♠ turn or 7♦ river.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kevin Fluegel was all-in for 33,000 and at risk against Jose Gomez Casillas.

Kevin Fluegel: A♣J♣ All in
Jose Gomez Casillas: Q♥Q♠

Fluegel was in trouble, but the K♥10♣6♣ flop markedly increased his outs, flopping a gutshot and the nut flush draw.

However it's the hope that kills you, and Fluegel bricked the 3♠ turn and 6♠ river.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of Q♥5♦2♥, Bastian Gallitzendoerfer bet 15,000 from the button and Wojciech Barzantny called in middle position.

The turn was the 2♠ and Gallitzendoerfer bet 20,000. Barzantny again called and the 4♥ fell on the river. Gallitzendoerfer then bet 75,000, and Barzantny tanked for about a minute before calling.

"Full house," Gallitzendoerfer announced, turning over 5♣2♣. Barzantny mucked.

"Aces?" a tablemate asked him.

"No. I don't tank with aces," Barzantny replied.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ren Lin was seen with his entire stack in the middle, with Grzegorz Flak debating whether he should call or not.

The full board read 4♦8♦8♠9♠5♦ and there were around 50,000 in the middle when Lin over-bet shoved around 130,000 from the big blind. Flak was in middle position and had around 240,000 behind as he pondered how to proceed.

After tanking for some time, Flak wanted an answer to help him decide.

"Will you show me if I fold?" he asked. Lin gave no response and then the clock was called by someone seated at the table. During the countdown, Flak eventually folded.

As Lin was pulling in the pot, he gave himself a slap on the wrist then showed a bluff with A♦Q♥.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Giorgi Barabadze and Vitaliy Kryza built a pot of around 35,000 as they went to the turn with the board showing 9♣Q♦6♠A♦. Kryza then bet 31,000 from the hijack, but Barabadze came back with an all-in shove. Kryza called for his last 90,000.

He showed A♣K♦ for top pair, but Barabadze had flopped two pair holding Q♥9♥. The river was the 7♦ and Kryza was sent to the rail.
