Hoffmann Check-Jams River

Richard Hayes

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A decent pot of 120,000 had developed by the river, on a board of A♥Q♥5♦3♣9♦, in a hand between Monika Hoffmann in early position and Hassan El Mahri in middle position.

Hoffman checked, and El Mahri quickly fired out a bet of 51,000.

Hoffman didn't take much time before requesting the all-in triangle from the dealer, responding with a check-jam to 180,000.

El Mahri took a moment for thought, but ultimately sent his cards to the muck.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dmytro Fedorov shoved 85,000 from early position and Lukasz Adamczewski reshoved 200,000 from the hijack.

Dmytro Fedorov: A♠A♦ All in
Lukasz Adamczewski: J♥J♣

Fedorov turned his aces over with authority, and was rewarded with a double-up as the 4♠2♦2♥7♣A♥ runout left him with a full house. Adamczewski forked over the chips and was left with just over 200,000 to do battle with.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mateusz Kaniowski opened to 25,000 from under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 196,000 from an opponent in the cutoff.

After asking for a count, Kaniowski flicked in a calling chip.

Opponent: Q♣Q♦ All in
Mateusz Kaniowski: A♠Q♥

Kaniowski was in trouble versus his opponent's pocket queens, and he missed the 10♣4♦3♥ flop and 10♦ turn.

However the A♣ rolled off on the river in cruel fashion to Kaniowski the pot.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Przemyslaw Szymanski opened from early position and Calin Ciolte shoved the hijack for 213,000. Paul Seysses was in the small blind and called, which got Szymanski to fold.

Calin Ciolte: A♥Q♥ All in
Paul Seysses: Q♠Q♦

Seysses had the lead with his pocket queens, and a lead he would not relinquish as the 9♠7♦7♣5♠2♥ runout meant Ciolte was sent to the rail.

Faramarz Safari: Q♣8♣

Loeser doubled up on a board of A♣7♥Q♦6♦3♠. Safari though he was eliminated and started to leave, but he had to come back at the table as he had 4,000 left.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Laurynas Jakutis opened the hijack and Juan Velasco shoved the cutoff for 173,000. When it got back to Jakutis, he called.

Juan Velasco: K♦J♦ All in
Laurynas Jakutis: A♠9♥

Jakutis was looking to score a knockout and climb the counts, but the J♥3♦4♥ flop paired Velasco's jack and put him in the driving seat. Some hope arrived for Jakutis in the form of a flush draw on the Q♥ turn, but the 2♣ river bricked out, which meant he had to cough up the chips over to Velasco.
