Three Hands, Three Players Out

Maxime Taldir

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There is action at Table 149. First, Dmitry Blyumin called from the big blind the stack of the player in the cutoff, who was at risk with his 18,000 chips.

Cutoff: 8♥8♠
Dmitry Blyumin: 9♥9♣

After the board J♠7♠3♦J♥K♠, Blyumin took all his opponent's chips and was up to 79,000.

But he didn't have time to pile his chips up, as he was involved in the next hand. He three-bet to 5,500 over an open by a player in middle position. But in the big blind, Christophe Panetti raised all-in to 22,000 chips. The player in middle position quickly moved all in too for 20,000. With all these actions, Blyumin folded.

Middle position player: 10♦10♠
Christophe Panetti: K♥K♠

Panetti's opponent had few chances to win, and on J♣9♥2♦6♥4♥, he has been eliminated. On the next hand, Panetti didn't finish to gather all his chips neither when Srikanth Yadlapati was kicking another player out.

Dmitry Blyumin	79,000 79,000	79,000

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

From the cutoff, the 2023 PSPC Winner Aliaksandr Shylko opened to 2,000. He was called by Gaston Catzman in the small blind and the big blind.

On the flop 8♣8♥9♣, Shylko continued with a bet of 1,800 after the blinds checked. Catzman was the only one to call. On the turn 9♥, the Argentinian player called once again when Shylko bet another 3,000.

But the action slowed down on the river K♠, with Shylko checking back with A♠3♦. It turned out to be the winning hand, as Catzman flipped over J♥10♥.

All the chips went in the middle preflop between Jonathan Therme, holding A♠Q♣ and at risk for a stack worth 29,300 and his opponent who had him covered and held J♠J♦.

Therme couldn't win the flip throughout a board 4♥7♦3♣2♣J♣, improving his opponent's hand into a set, and made his way to the exit.
