Link's Hero Call Doesn't Go Well

Kai Cocklin

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Sarah Link raised to 800,000 from the cutoff with A♠K♠ and Tudor Zapsa defended his big blind holding 8♦5♠.

Zapsa caught a pair on the J♥5♥3♦ flop and got to see a free turn of the Q♠ as both players checked. Zapsa led for 900,000 and Link quickly called with her two overs and gutshot.

A 7♣ on the river was a brick and Zapsa reached for chips before putting out a bet of 1,900,000 with his pair of fives. Link sat motionless for a while and then called with ace-high, before she mucked upon seeing the cards of Zapsa.

Michal Szczeblewski picked up A♦K♠ under the gun and raised to 825,000. Action folded around to Stepan Budac on the button who used a time bank before three-betting to 2,200,000.

Szczeblewski also burned through a few of his time banks, taking more than a minute until moving all in for 6,375,000. It was then Budac's turn to tank once more as he took a few minutes, eventually giving up 9♠9♦.

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Tudor Zapsa opened K♣10♠ from the hijack to 800,000 and Martin Vittek called on the button holding Q♦J♥. Sarah Link was in the big blind and called with 8♣2♣.

The flop of Q♠3♠K♦ connected with both Zapsa and Vittek, which prompted the latter to bet 1,100,000 once it checked to him. Link folded, and Zapsa called.

A 5♥ fell on the turn and both players checked to the J♠ river, which gave Vittek two pair. Zapsa checked and then Vittek went for a value bet of 1,225,000. Zapsa, with his top pair, took some time before he called, and then mucked when he saw the two pair of his opponent.

In a limped pot between the blinds, Michal Szczeblewski and Tudor Zapsa checked to the turn on a board of A♥J♥9♥9♦. Szczeblewski then bet 525,000 with A♦3♠, and Zapsa called.

Szczeblewski bet another 1,025,000 on the K♠ river, and Zapsa this time folded 10♥8♣.

Stepan Budac and Zapsa won the next two pots with preflop raises. Action then folded to Jan Kohl on the button who moved all in for 3,950,000 with A♥10♦, and the blinds quickly folded.

Martin Vittek opened to 925,000 from the cutoff with A♠8♦ and Sarah Link three-bet big to 3,600,000 with Q♦Q♣ from the small blind. Vittek toyed with the idea of making a play, but did eventually release his cards.

In the next hand, Link opened to 800,000 on the button with Q♠10♥ and Michal Szczeblewski called from the big blind holding 10♠9♥.

Szczeblewski checked on the J♣3♠K♦ flop and then folded to a bet of 700,000 from Link.

Level 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Sarah Link opened from under the gun to 600,000 and Stepan Budac called in the big blind.

The flop of J♥7♣J♠ hit the table and Budac check-called a bet of 400,000 from Link to the 2♠ turn. Budac decided to lead out for 800,000, and Link quickly called.

A 2♦ double-paired the board on the river and both players checked it down, where Budac showed king-high with K♦Q♥. Link had that beat as she showed a pair of aces with A♥A♦, which earned her a few more chips.

Level 35 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Stepan Budac opened to 600,000 from middle position and Tudor Zapsa three-bet to 1,800,000 from the small blind. Bogdan Roman was in the big blind and shoved for 4,450,000, which got Budac to quickly fold. Zapsa snap-called.

Bogdan Roman: A♥K♠ All in
Tudor Zapsa: K♥K♣

Roman had run into a premium, but did have hope with his ace. A flop of Q♣Q♦4♥ didn't offer much in the way of assistance, but a little help arrived on the 10♦ turn in the form of a gutshot. However, the 9♠ river was a brick, and Roman was out in eighth.
