Bohlman Denied a Double; Doesn't Bust Either

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Scott Bohlman three-bet and then called all-in when Joshua Mullins went over the top for both players to reveal a pocket pair.

Scott Bohlman: K♣K♦
Joshua Mullins: 10♥10♦

The dominated pair caught up until the J♠8♠7♥9♥ turn but the 10♣ river provided a straight on the board for the chop.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was heads up with a full board of K♦6♣4♠4♦3♥ when Jinho Hong went all in. Lewis Spencer spent a moment in the tank before he flicked out a chip to look Hong up. Hong tapped the table and said "gg" as he turned over 10♦9♦ for absolutely nothing. Spencer showed A♦Q♦ to take the pot with slightly more nothing.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Erwann Pecheux opened to 4,500 and soccer superstar Sergio Aguero three-bet jammed a stack of 53,000 behind him. Pecheux called with a bigger stack.

Sergio Aguero: A♦Q♥
Erwann Pecheux: A♠K♦

Aguero was dominated and Matthew Wantman informed him that one of his outs was dead. "I folded king-queen," he told the table. "I was drawing dead."

The 5♥2♠8♥ flop didn't change anything, but the 2♥ turn created some flush and chop possibilities. "Heart! Eight!" cheered tablemate Daniel Negreanu, whose shirt was recently ripped by Martin Kabrhel "and those long nails he has."

The dealer then put down the Q♠ river and Negreanu and others cheered as Aguero earned the double.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Giuseppe Iadisernia defended the big blind and check-raised the 7♠4♦3♠ flop to then lead the J♦ turn for 25,000. Benjamin Pollak raised to 125,000 with some 32,000 behind and Iadisernia went into the tank. Ultimately, he opted to fold and flashed the 7♦4♣ face-up.

"Come on, show it, Benjamin, show it for the blog" Martin Zamani joked but Pollak just raked in the pot without revealing anything at all.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Matthias Lipp raised to 4,000 and was called by Thai Ha in the small blind as well as Dong Chen in the big blind. They checked to the J♠10♣5♥4♠ turn on which Ha bet 6,000 and Chen called, as did Lipp.

They headed to the 2♠ river and Ha checked. Chen bet 20,000, Lipp folded and Ha came to the same conclusion.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jon Santos opened to 4,500 in middle position and the button and the small blind called before Adrian Mateos three-bet to 22,000 in the big blind. Only Santos called.

Mateos checked on the flop of 4♦8♣Q♣ and Santos checked back. Mateos checked again on the 3♦ turn and Santos took some time before betting 15,000 to bring a quick fold from Mateos.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Andrey Andreev was all-in with the 2♠2♥ and Eyal Revah looked him up in a "classic flip" with the A♠J♠.

The board ran out 8♣6♠5♦J♦8♥ and Evah almost jumped out of his chair in excitement, all the while he was receiving a massage. He then instantly apologised to Andreev, who quickly left the tournament area.
