Brobyn Over-Bets River

Jeremy Geist

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was opened in the cutoff to 1,000. The button called and Robert Brobyn called from the big blind.

The Q♠2♦6♠ landed on the flop and action quickly checked through to a 10♥ turn. Brobyn quickly led for 1,500. Only the original raiser in the cutoff called.

The 5♦ landed on the river and Brobyn took his time before over-betting to a size of 7,000. The cutoff couldn't hang around and folded.

Brobyn dragged the pot after some well timed aggression.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was opened in middle position to 1,200. A player in middle position called and then Alyas Niah three-bet from the cutoff to 7,000. It folded to the big blind who took his time but eventually landed on a cold four-bet to 14,000.

It folded back to Niah who took almost no time before five-bet jamming for about 26,000. The big blind snap-called.

Alyas Niah: A♠J♥
Big blind: K♥K♦

There was no sweat as an ace showed up in the window on A♥3♠10♣. The turn and river brought no help for the kings on the way to a quick double up for Niah.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was opened under the gun to 1,500. It folded to Stephen Sardino on the button who three-bet to 6,000. The original raiser called.

The K♣5♣6♥ flop quickly checked through to a K♥ turn. The original raiser checked again and Sardino put out a bet of 5,500. His opponent called.

The river landed a 10♠ and action slowed back down and checked through. Sardino tabled J♠J♥ and his opponent mucked.

No right way to play the jiggities.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was opened in middle position by Jugal Daterao to 1,800. It folded all the way around to Bin Weng in the big blind who called.

The 2♦4♠8♠ landed on the flop and Weng check-called a 2,200 flop from Daterao. The turn brought a J♣ and Weng check-called another bet from Daterao of 2,800.

The K♥ river landed and Weng checked one last time. Daterao bet 5,000 and Weng went into the tank for a moment before begrudgingly putting in the chips.

Daterao tabled K♣Q♣ showing that he got there on the river and Weng mucked. They both stand to have top five stacks in the filed at the moment.
