Zebarjad Rivers a King, Picks Off Marsh's Bluff

Kai Cocklin

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Ali Zebarjad had opened the cutoff and Luke Marsh three-bet from the small blind before Zebarjad responded with a four-bet to 7,500. Marsh called.

The two went to a flop of 5♦9♦9♣ where Marsh check-called a bet of 2,500 from Zebarjad.

Both checked the J♦ turn to the K♦ river, where Marsh took a while before he announced a bet of 8,000. Zebarjad needed just two seconds before he put in the chips and called.

Marsh flipped a pair of tens with 10♠10♣, but Zebarjad had the winner with A♠K♣ with a rivered pair of kings.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

There were already around 8,000 chips in the pot on a flop of J♠Q♥10♦ when Mykhaylo Erstenyuk fired 3,500, which got Leonidas Kostagiolas to fold. Andrei Sediakin then put in a raise to 8,500, and Erstenyuk shoved for around 19,000. Sediakin snap-called.

Mykhaylo Erstenyuk: A♥K♥ All in
Andrei Sediakin: A♦K♣

It was no surprise to see that both players had that same hand, but Erstenyuk did have a freeroll with his backdoor heart draw. However, the 4♠ turn put an end to that tiny bit of equity that Erstenyuk had, and the K♦ fell on the river, which meant they both chopped up the chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andrei Sediakin	33,000
Leonidas Kostagiolas	27,000 -3,000	-3,000
Mykhaylo Erstenyuk	23,000 -7,000	-7,000

Sava Krink

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Mehmet Demirkol opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 300, only to be three-bet by Vladislav Dubanov in the big blind to 1,200. Unfazed, Demirkol four-bet to 3,600, and Dubanov made the call.

The flop came 9♠8♣4♣, and Demirkol continued with a bet of 1,600, which Dubanov check-called.

Both players opted to check on the 5♥ turn.

The river brought the 6♦, and this time Dubanov took control with a hefty bet of 7,500. Demirkol went deep into the tank, thinking it over for a good three minutes before making the call. Dubanov double-checked his cards at showdown but ultimately decided to muck, allowing Demirkol to scoop the pot without revealing his hand.

Aimar Gonzalez opened to 300 from early position, and Sergei Bortsov pumped it up to 1,100 from the button. Iurii Okolovich was in the small blind, and he produced a cold four-bet to 2,800. Gonzalez got out of the way, but Bortsov called.

On the A♦9♠4♠ flop, Okolovich continued with a bet of 1,700, which Bortsov called.

The 3♥ turn was checked through. On the 10♠ river, Okolovich fired out a bet of 3,700, and Bortsov went into the tank.

After about two minutes, he open folded Q♣Q♦, and Okolovich flashed the A♥ as he raked in the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

With around 7,000 chips in the pot on a board that read 3♠6♠2♦9♣, Monica Vaka had checked it over to Adrien Quetelart, who then made a bet of 6,000. Vaka put in the check-raise to 15,000, which left Quetelart with a decision for his remaining stack of just over 8,000. After a while in the tank, Quetelart elected to put himself at risk, and called.

Adrien Quetelart: Q♣Q♦ All in
Monica Vaka: 9♠9♦

It was a great turn card for Vaka as she improved to a set, which left Quetelart with just two outs to survive. The J♥ river was close, but not close enough for Quetelart as he became one of the first casualties of the day.
