Ramakrishnan Wins Three Way

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante

We caught the action on {q-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop with a player already all-in for his last 4,000.

Both Raj Ramakrishnan and Jeff Rossiter make the call from middle position and the button respectively so the action remained three-way to the {7-Spades} turn.

Ramakrishnan moved all-in for what looked to be a pot sized bet and Rossiter made the call leaving himself 5,600 behind.

We did not get a chance to catch the under the gun all-in player's hand but Rossiter had {j-Spades}{a-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a pair of queens, a gutshot straight draw and backdoor nut spade draw but was trailing to Ramakrishnan's {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}.

While the {5-Spades} river gave Rossiter his flush it also paired the board meaning Ramakrishnan took it down with kings full. Rossiter exited shortly afterward.

Laak Knocks Out Two

Level 6 : 400/800, 0 ante
Phil Laak
Phil Laak

Phil Laak opened the hijack for 1,600 and the button three-bet to 6,000 with 1,000 behind. The big blind called all in for 4,100 and Laak pushed all in to have the button commit his last 1,000 as well. The button called and there was a three-way showdown at hand.

Phil Laak: {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Big blind: {4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and Laak knocked out both of his opponents hitting trips on the turn.

Table Move Good for Abdellatif

Level 5 : 300/600, 0 ante

Belgium's Jonathan Abdellatif has just been moved back to his original table, and it seemed to be working out for him.

Abdellatif had just retaken his new (old) seat and opened to 1,500 from early position with the button and big blind Yuri Martins Dzivielevski making the call to take play three-way to a flop of {10-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}.

Dzivielevski checked the action over to Abdellatif, who fired for a pot sized bet.

"Didn't you just get moved?" quipped the player on the button, before folding.

"I like it here" replied Abdellatif, taking down the pot after Dzivielevski also got out of the way.

Nuts!

Level 5 : 300/600, 0 ante

Small blind Mark Radoja checked on {A-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and so did the big blind and cutoff. Radoja bet 1,100 on the {Q-Clubs} turn and both of his opponents called. The {4-Clubs} completed the board and Radoja bet 4,200. The big blind folded, the cutoff called. Radoja showed {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{K-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and his opponent mucked.

Checked Around

Level 5 : 300/600, 0 ante

From first position, Phil Laak raised to 1,600. The button and big blind called and they checked down the entire board of {J-Spades}{6-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The big blind showed a jack, Laak tabled {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} but the pot went to the button who revealed {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Clubs}.
