Ausmus Comes Out on Top of Four-Way Action

Chad Holloway
Chad Holloway
Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Nikolay Komcharokov limped from early position and Jeremy Ausmus did the same from the hijack. Senh Ung called from the button, Brazil's Habib Esses came along from the small blind, and then the player in the big raised to 2,500. Komcharokov called, as did Ausmus and Ung, before Esses three-bet all in for 9,600 from the small blind.

The player in the big blind called, Komcharokov got out of the way, and Ausmus made the call. Ung came along and three active and one all-in player saw the {2-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, which checked around. The action repeated itself on the {5-Spades} turn, and then Ausmus bet 20,000 after the big blind checked the {10-Hearts}. Ung folded and so did the big blind.

Ausmus showed the {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for trips, and it was good as Esses only held {3-}{3-}.

Mohsin Charania
Mohsin Charania

Mohsin "chicagocards1" Charania, a former champion here at European Poker Tour Monte Carlo who also has a pair of WPT wins to his name, just had his tournament ended by Eros Nastasi. A player opened for 1,500 in middle position, and Charania shipped all in for 6,725 in the cutoff. Action folded to big blind Eros Nastasi, who called, and the opener dumped his hand.

Charania: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Nastasi: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The Italian had Charania dominated, and the board ran out {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, booting Charania from the tournament.

"Aces? Really?"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Cabrera opened from middle position and found callers in Wang in the hijack and Boeree in the big blind. On a flop of {K-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Diamonds} Boeree checked and Cabrera bet out 1,900. Wang called and Boeree folded.

On the {8-Clubs} turn, again Cabrera chose to bet, moving 4125 chips across the line. And again, after a short pause, Wang called.

The river brought the {7-Clubs} and Cabrera slid three blue 5,000 chips out, meaning Wang had to move all-in to call.

"Aces?" asked Wang, "Pocket Aces? Really?"

Cabrera remained silent. Wang folded and his opponent instantly mucked his cards.

"Aces?" asked Selbst from the other end of the table.

"I had Ace-King" said Wang.

"I don't know if I could have folded that, responded Selbst.

Mateos Doubles

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

When we last took note of Adrian Mateos, the Spanish pro had one of the biggest stacks in the room. It appeared he had fallen on hard times when we got to his table though, as he was down to just 13,250. He was able to double that with {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} though, as we found the dealer counting down his stack for a double on a board of {8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. His opponent's hand was already mucked.

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Mike Adamo put in a raise to 11,250 from the button after Eros Nastasi three-bet him in the big blind to about 4,000. Nastasi shoved all in for about 25,000, and Adamo called with {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}. He had Nastasi's {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} dominated, but an ace-high flop left him shaking his head in disgust.
