Teh Takes One Down on the Turn

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With about 4,000 in the middle the flop read {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and Rulen Jorgensen checked to Liran Machluf as he pushed out a stack of black chips for a bet of 1,600. Natalie Teh called on the button and Jorgensen called as well.

The {a-Spades} fell on the turn and Jorgensen and Machluf quickly checked to Teh as she put out a bet of 3,200. Both of her opponents pitched their cards into the muck, sending the pot to Teh.

Aldemir Building a Stack

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

In a pot with roughly 6,000 in the middle on a board of {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}, Koray Aldemir bet 5,500 after the small blind and middle position checked to him on the button.

The small blind quickly folded but the middle position player went well into the tank. Aldemir's opponent took their time but eventually let their hand go and the chips were awarded to the 2021 WSOP Main Event Champion.

"He's bullying us, make sure you write that," said another player at the table, jokingly, about Aldemir's play.

Blake Gets Paid with Jacks

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A raise to 1,200 from early position got a call from middle position and from Jonathan Blake on the button. The big blind put in a reraise to 7,500. Early and middle position got out of the way before Blake made the call, giving heads-up action to the flop.

On the {10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop, the big blind continued for 5,000, and Blake quickly called.

The big blind fired again on the {6-Spades} turn, this time for 13,000. Blake called just as quickly and calmly as he did the street prior.

The big blind slowed down and checked the {k-Hearts} river. Blake checked as well. "Ace high," the big blind announced, before Blake showed him the bad news by flipping over {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, winning the pot.

Turned Set Pains Owen

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Brad Owen
Brad Owen

Action began on the flop with Brad Owen betting 2,700. He was looking at a board of {7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. Jessica Williams on his left, on the button, raised it up to 7,000. Owen made the call.

The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and Owen checked. Williams continued with a bet of 9,000. Owen tossed in the call.

On the river {q-Clubs}, the front-door flush came in and both players checked.

Williams showed {6-Spades}{6-Clubs} for the set. Owen was kind enough to show his {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

"Run good, run good," he said in frustration as Williams spiked the set on the turn after raising the flop.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Gabriel Ramos
Gabriel Ramos

With the pot already bloated to 65,000 on a {3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} board, the under-the-gun player bet 25,000, leaving him with just under 40,000 behind.

Gabriel Ramos, sitting with his beloved dog Ozy in middle position, waited about 45 seconds before announcing all in, handily covering his opponent.

The under-the-gun player went deep into the tank for several minutes before deciding to call off with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}.

Ramos was quick to turn over {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for quad deuces, scoring a huge early pot and eliminating his opponent.

Dyke Catches a Bluff; Shows Anyway

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Three players saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}, creating a pot of about 4,300. Athanasios Polychronopoulos checked first to act, followed by Maria Lampropoulou and Daniel Dyke did the same.

The {2-Hearts} hit the turn and once checked to, Lampropoulou put in a bet of 3,000. Dyke called and Polychronopoulos mucked.

The {7-Hearts} completed the board, and Lampropoulou continued to fire, betting 7,000. Dyke wasted little time making the call and Lampropoulou conceded the pot by pushing her cards face down towards the dealer. Dyke politely showed his {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for a flush on the river as the dealer pushed him the pot.
