No Fear for Nanev

Kirk Brown

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Rumen Nanev had three-bet to 7,300 and then Armando Mesina four-bet-shoved for 23,500.

The action folded back around to Nanven who went into the tank for a bit before he flicked in a chip to make the call, putting Mesina at risk.

Armando Mesina: A♠Q♣
Rumen Nanev: 7♦7♣

The board ran out J♥9♦10♥2♥2♠ for Navev's pocket sevens to hold and Mesina was eliminated from the tournament in Level 2.

Meanwhile, Nanev has chipped up to over 170,000 - one of the largest in the field.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in early position opened to 900 and it folded to Ahmed Karrim in the cutoff who put in a three-bet to 2,600. The rest of the table got out of the way and the initial raiser called.

The flop fanned out Q♠J♣7♥ and the early position player checked over to Karrim who continued for 3,300. His opponent took a few seconds, but in the end let their cards go and the pot was sent to Karrim.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Julien Sitbon three-bet to 2,500 from the button and a player in early position called.

The flop came 8♠7♣5♦ and Sitbon continued for 2,000. His opponent called to the 2♣ turn, where he led out for 4,000.

Sitbon looked back at his hand and tanked for a moment before he called. The river came the 6♥ and his opponent now checked, allowing Sitbon to fire out 8,200.

The early-position player now tanked for about a minute before calling. Sitbon turned over A♦4♦ for a rivered straight and his opponent nodded his head in acknowledgment before surrendering the pot.

Miculitzki Wins a Hand he had No Business Winning

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 10,000 in the middle preflop, Miles Barnum and Gaston Miculitzki went heads-up to a flop of A♦10♦6♠. Barnum was first to act and threw in a bet of 6,000. Miculitzki thought the bet was 1,100 and called. Once the dealer informed him of the bet, he stated that he was color-blind and now wished to fold.

The original ruling was that Miculitzki could surrender his 1,100 and fold. Barnum along with others at the table argued the ruling and a second opinion was obtained. Upon further review, it was determined that Miculitzki must call the full 6,000 but he was able to keep his cards.

The turn brought the K♥ and Barnum checked this time. Miculitzki frustratingly moved all in for 37,800 which put Barnum in the tank for a couple of minutes before he called. Miculitzki tabled K♣K♦ for a set of kings while Barnum was left drawing slim with A♥Q♥. The river was the 7♠ and Miculitzki scored a big double up.

Miculitzki celebrated a bit by clapping his hands much to the dismay of Barnum. "That's f***ed up man. Why are you celebrating?" Miculitzki felt justified in his celebration as the two players barked back and forth for a couple of moments.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Manuel Ruivo was heads-up from middle position against Tsugunari Toma, who was on the button, on a 6♠9♣2♠ flop. Ruivo check-called a 1,600 bet from Toma and then both players checked on the 10♥ turn.

The 5♣ filled the river and Ruivo cut out a bet to 5,200 and placed it into the middle. Toma re-checked his hole cards and decided to fold — conceding the pot to Ruivo.
