Suvarna Puts in a Big River Raise

Tyler Foran

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Two players saw the 8♣6♣4♥ flop, creating a pot of 22,000. Stanislav Zegal was under the gun and check-called a bet of 10,000 from Santhosh Suvarna who was in middle position.

The 7♥ turn was checked through to see the 8♠ on the river, where Zegal fired out out a bet of 13,000 in blue chips. Suvarna put out a raise to 63,000, and it only took a couple of seconds for Zegal to surrender the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of K♥6♥2♠, Chance Kornuth bet in early position and Sosia Jiang called in the cutoff as Alex Foxen called in the big blind.

Foxen checked on the 9♦ turn and Kornuth bet 68,000. Jiang folded and Foxen called. Foxen checked once more on the 10♦ river and Kornuth put him to the test by moving all in for around 350,000.

The recent Triton Main Event champion went deep in the tank before calling, leading his Chip Leader Coaching partner to show K♠9♣ for two pair as Foxen was forced to reveal K♣J♦.

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Byron Kaverman opened the hijack and Matthew Belcher called in the cutoff. In the big blind, Blaz Zerjav three-bet and both opponents called.

Three-ways to a K♣Q♥5♥ flop, Zerjav continued for 45,000 and only Kaverman called.

On the repeat 5♣ turn, Zerjav fired a second barrel for 140,000 but Kaverman stuck around.

The river was the J♦. Zerjav tanked for some time before he opted to check. Kaverman ultimately jammed for 350,000 effective as the covering stack and Zerjav took a final peek at his cards before tossing them into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Byron Kaverman	950,000 388,000	388,000

Blaz Zerjav	350,000 -220,000	-220,000

Sam Greenwood opened 7,000 in the cutoff and Ihar Soika called on the button.

When the K♠10♥5♥ flop hit the felt, Greenwood check-called a bet of 7,000 from Soika.

The 4♥ hit the turn, and Greenwood checked once again. Soika flung 19,000 across the line and that was good enough to earn the pot as Greenwood mucked his hand.

Sosia Jiang raised to 8,000 on the button and was called by Krasimir Neychev in the small blind. The flop came J♠6♣5♦ and Neychev check-called a bet of 8,000 from Jiang.

The 5♣ paired the board on the turn and both players checked to the 2♠ on the river. Neychev checked for the third time and Jiang dropped in a large bet of 50,000. Neychev deliberated for a moment but decided to flick in a call. Jiang turned over A♥J♥ and Neychev was unable to beat it.

Sosia Jiang	890,000 190,000	190,000

On the streamed feature table, Sam Greenwood opened in middle position with A♥A♦ and NBA legend Tony Parker called in the big blind with Q♦6♣.

The flop landed Q♠Q♥6♠ to smash the former San Antonio Spurs point guard with queens full of sixes Parker checked and Greenwood continued for 5,000 with his aces. Parker slow-played and called.

Parker checked once more on the J♦ river and Greenwood bet 31,000. Parker check-raised to 100,000. Greenwood realized he was beat and laid it down.
