What Happened Here?!

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Luc Bindel raised to 1,000 from under the gun and Rob Yong three-bet from the middle position by flicking in five 5,000-chips in. He then realized his mistake and reached back for them but then shrugged and left them there. The action folded to Albert Daher in the big blind who had happily been chatting away with the rest of the table.

He looked up: "What happened here?!" when he looked at the raises in front of him.

"I put the wrong chips in, thinking they were each worth 500," Yong explained while the rest laughed.

Daher looked up to the ceiling and shook his head: "You always put me in weird situations." He considered his options for a bit longer.

"I am not getting angled twice in a hand here, right?" Bindel added.

In the end, Daher opted to fold and so did Bindel. Yong looked at his cards and decided to show the {j-Hearts}.

Espen Jorstad

The board read {k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs} with around 3,000 in middle.

Albert Daher bet 2,300 from the big blind and Espen Jorstad raised it up to 9,200 from the hijack which Daher called.

The river completed the board with the {a-Spades} and Daher opted to check. Jorstad fired a bet of 13,500 out for Daher to contemplate for a while.

"Bad river... Maybe it's a bad river for you," Daher muttered before opting to fold in the end.

The dealer pushed the pot to Jorstad.

"Show one," Daher commented.

"If we are all going to show one, I'll do it then," Jorstad replied.

"Yes, but we start now with this one," Daher quipped and Jorstad smiled.

Amarbayasgalan Sainjargal raised to 800 from under the gun for Sinan Unlu to three-bet to 2,700 from the button. Sainjargal four-bet to 8,900 when the blinds folded for Unlu to make the call.

The flop came {3-Spades}{9-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, Sainjargal continued with a bet of 6,700 for Unlu to call.

The turn was the {8-Spades} and Sainjargal barreled a bet of 16,000 over the line. Unlu contemplated it for a bit and then shoved for 32,600. Sainjargal snap-called.

Sinan Unlu: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Amarbayasgalan Sainjargal: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Unlu had flopped top pair and picked up the gutshot to a straight on the turn but Sainjargal held the rockets in his hand.

The river completed the board with the {8-Diamonds} to not help Unlu as he became the fourth player of the day to bust.

The players on his table got moved back to the first table to combine once more.
