Kisacikoglu Gets Caught

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three players created a pot of about 40,000 and the A77 flop was on the felt. Jamie Gold in the big blind and Roland Rokita next to act checked before Orpen Kisacikoglu fired 12,000 into the middle. Gold folded, but Rokita stuck around with a call.

The Q completed the board on the river, and Rokita checked once again. Kisacikoglu fired 36,000 across the line and Rokita wasted little time making the call.

Kisacikoglu slid his hand face down to surrender the pot and the dealer pushed the pot toward Rokita.

Mathew Frankland opened 15,000 in middle position and both Joshua Hopkins in the cutoff and John Ripnick in the big blind made the call.

Bonomo Finds Value on Dangerous Board

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads up to the turn with the board reading 10876, Lei Yu bet 36,000 from the small blind and Justin Bonomo called in the cutoff.

The river brought the 5. Yu slowed down with a check before Bonomo tossed out a bet of 125,000. Yu went deep into the tank for over two minutes before he flicked in the call. Bonomo tabled 66 for a turned set of sixes as he was able to extract value on a dangerous board to pad his stack.
