Papazian Hits Two Pair

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After Siim Leiman opened to 1,000 from the hijack, Alexandru Papazian defended from the big blind.

Both players checked a flop of 545, and discovered the turn 8. This time, Papazian bet 800, and he was called by Leiman.

Then on the river 3, Papazian asked for 1,800 chips more. Leiman eventually called again, but gave his cards to the dealer when Papazian showed 74 for two pair.

Trips for Kivastik

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a four-way limped pot, the player under the gun led out for 700 on a flop of QAA, and all his opponents called.

They then saw the turn 9, which was checked by all four players. But on the river 8, Gavril Hutuleac in the big blind bet 2,200. The player under the gun folded, as well as the cutoff, before Karl Kivastik on the button made the call with A3 for trips.

Hutuleac only had Q10 for two pair, so Kivastik won this pot.

Two Pair for De Jong

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Dehlia de Jong
Dehlia de Jong

In a blind versus blind situation, Dehlia De Jong bet 1,000 on a flop of J44 after she limped from the small blind preflop. Bogdan Simion in the big blind called.

The turn 7 was checked by both players. Then on the river K, De Jong announced 2,200. Simion thought about It for a few seconds, and eventually called.

However, he seemed quite unhappy to see that De Jong had J2 for two pair, which was the best hand.

A Small Easy One for Pana

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Ștefan Gheorghe opened to 1,600 from under the gun, and he was called twice - by Silviu Pana in the hijack and by Mairold Millert in the big blind.

All three of them decided to check on the flop 686. Action repeated on the turn A for Millert and Gheorghe, so Pana took this opportunity to bet 2,200. The bet produced folds from his two opponents.
