Ashraf Catches Beresford's Bluff

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Wahid Ashraf
Wahid Ashraf

Waheed Ashraf raised to 6,500 from the button and got called by Conor Beresford in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and both players checked. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} and Beresford led for 12,500. Ashraf made the call.

On the {4-Spades} river, Beresford led out again for 27,000, close to half of his stack. Ashraf once again made the call. Beresford showed {k-Spades}{10-Spades} and Ashraf showed {a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} for a pair of fours.

Ashraf had caught Beresford's bluff, bringing him up to over 200,000 chips and leaving Beresford with well under a starting stack.

Margereson Eliminated as Konstas Doubles

Level 14 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Scott Margereson
Scott Margereson

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas raised to 5,000 from the cutoff and Scott Margereson reraised from the big blind. Konstas pushed all in and Margereson made the call. Players flipped their cards, with Konstas at risk.

Ioannis Angelou-Konstas: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Scott Margereson: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Konstas had Margereson dominated and the flop came {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Konstas held up with ace high and a superior kicker and Mergereson was left with just a couple of big blinds behind.

The next hand, Margereson was in the small blind with most of his stack already in the middle. Dominik Nitsche raised to 4,000 from early position, Margereson called, as did Jonathan McCann in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Spades}. McCann checked and Nitsche continued for 3,000, which McCann called. The turn was the {k-Hearts}, McCann checked again and Nitsche bet 17,000. McCann folded and two players flipped their cards.

Margereson showed {j-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Nitsche showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Nitsche's ace high held up on the river and Margereson was eliminated from the event.

Margereson has since fired another bullet and has a starting stack as late registration draws to a close.
