Nunez Takes A Four-Bet Pot

Maxime Taldir

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The under the gun player opened to 600 and was called by the small blind. But in the big blind, Javier Nunez three-bet to 2,200. The initial opener didn't just call but four-bet to 7,100. The small blind folded, and Nunez called.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♦5♥6♣, where the player under the gun made a continuation bet of 6,000. Nunez check-called and checked again on the turn 9♥. His opponent checked back, to see the river 9♦.

On this second nine, Nunez bet 16,000. But the player under the gun quickly folded, yielding the pot to Nunez.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A player in early position opened to 600, and Martin Jacobson three-bet to 2,200 before Anthony Fox put in a four-bet 7,000 in the big blind. The original raiser got out of the way and Jacobson made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♥9♥9♠, and Jacobson called a bet of 5,000 from Fox.

The 10♥ fell on the turn and Fox continued with aggression, putting 9,000 in the middle and Jacobson matched the bet.

When the 3♥ completed the board both players tapped the table and Fox showed K♣K♥ for a flush on the river before Jacobson mucked his hand.

Frank Visser

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Wendeen Eolis was sitting in under the gun position and was involved in a pot against Felipe Ketzer in the big blind. On a flop of 5♥2♥J♥ with 2,300 chips in the middle, Ketzer out 400. Eolis made the call and the 8♣ turn fell.

Ketzer upped the bet to 1,000, but Eolis responded by putting in four T-1,000 chips in the middle for a raise to 4,000.

"Do you show?" Ketzer asked. When he received no response, he stated "I will make a big fold" and opted to fold his Q♦Q♣ face up.

"Oh wow, that is a big fold," Eolis stated.

"No show?" Ketzer pleaded once more.

"Not today," Eolis concluded while raking in the chips.

In a heads-up pot between under-the-gun player Assad Kamran and Jared Griener in middle position, Kamran checked on the flop of 3♦4♠10♣ and Griener bet 1,500.

Kamran stared down Griener and announced a raise to 4,200. Griener called with his opponent still staring him down.
