Checking Around... Twice

Level 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ping Liu raised to 275,000 under the gun with the K10 and Sergio Aido looked down at the AQ on the button. He just called and that inspired Sami Bechahed to come along from the big blind with the KJ.

The 510K flop gave all three players a little something, but even so it checked around to the turn, which was the 5.

Bechahed led out for 300,000, Liu called, as did Aido, and the 7 completed the board on the river. The players returned to checking and Liu took down the 1,905,000 pot.

"Very Unlucky Card"

Level 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Nick Schulman raised to 240,000 from early position with the A4 and David Coleman called from the button with the AJ. Jonathan Borenstein came along from the big blind with the J8 and it was three-way action to the flop of K22, which checked around.

After the dealer burned and turned the J, Borenstein checked despite pairing his jack, and Schulman, who had the worst hand, bet 300,000. Coleman called with the best hand, and Borenstein got out of the way.

The A river was a cooler card for Schulman, who made aces and deuces with a king kicker.

“Very unlucky card,” Phil Hellmuth said in the commentary booth.

Schulman bet again but downsized to just 150,000. Coleman just called and won the 1.8 million pot.

Sami Bechahed opened to 240,000 in the cutoff with A10 and David Coleman called in the big blind with 32.

Coleman then bet 240,000 with his flush on the J turn and Bechahed called with his useless straight. Coleman sized up to 950,000 on the 4 river and Bechahed went in the tank before calling and seeing the bad news.

Borenstein's Blind-on-Blind Massacre of Bechahed

Level 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Jonathan Borenstein
Jonathan Borenstein

Jonathan Borenstein limped the small blind holding the Q9 and Sami Bechahed checked his option in the big with the J10.

The QQ9 flop was gin for Borenstein, who flopped a boat and checked. Bechahed bet 125,000, and Borenstein called to see the 3 turn.

Borenstein checked for a second time and Bechahed bet 425,000. Borenstein used a time extension before just calling and the 8 completed the board on the river to give Bechahed a useless straight.

Borenstein checked for the third time and Bechahed bet 1.2 million. Borenstein moved all in for 190,000 more and Bechahed called only to be shown the bad news.
