Patrone's Overbet Gets Called

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ramiro Petrone checked from the big blind on a flop of7♦6♣3♥. With around 5,000 chips in the pot, Jeffrey Esterling then made a bet of 2,500 from the cutoff. Petrone called before both of the players checked the Q♣ turn.

The 8♥ river was then dealt and Petrone now made a massive overbet of 18,000 chips. Esterling weighed his options, cut out some calling chips, and put them in.

Petrone could only show A♥10♥ for ace-high, while Esterling made the winning call with his overpair of KxKx.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Action was picked up on the turn with players four-handed and the board reading 10♠9♥5♥J♦.

Nikhil Arcot, better known on Hustler Casino Live as "Nik Airball", checked from the small blind. Nuno Duarte bet 6,000 from the big blind, getting a call from a player in early position while folding out a player in middle position. Airball raised to 17,000 and Duarte responded by moving all in, covering Airball's remaining stack of a bit over 100,000 and sending him deep into the tank.

"Sorry guys, I have a big hand" Airball told his tablemates after about three minutes. Eventually, Airball folded J♥J♣ face up for top set, sending a sizable pot Duarte's way. Airball could later be heard telling his opponents that he never would have folded in that spot had he been playing a cash game.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A sizable 19,500 had already been accumulated preflop by Yulain Bogdanov and Edouard Mignot. Bogdanov checked and Mignot bet 6,200 on the J♣10♣4♠ flop. Bogdanov then shoved all in for 39,600 and Mignot called after taking a few minutes to think it over, putting his opponent at risk.

Yulian Bogdanov: A♣2♣
Edouard Mignot: 10♥9♥

Bogdanov had one overcard and the nut flush draw, while Mignot was holding on to his flopped pair of tens. The turn of J♦ remained clean for the Frenchman, but the Q♣ river saw Bogdanov's flush come in, doubling him up while denting Mignot's stack.

The 8♣ on the turn checked through to the 8♦ on the river. Jivani took the lead for 24,000 and his opponent responded by raising all in for 53,500. Jivani called.

Big Blind: K♠7♠
Anil Jivani: Q♦Q♣

Jivani scooped this pot and sent his opponent to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Serhii Popovych raised to 2,000 in early position and only got called by Adam Twito in the big blind.

The flop appeared 6♦5♥7♥ and Twito check-called Popovych's continuation for 2,700. After some thinking, Twito check-called again on the J♦ turn, this time for 16,500.

A Q♣ showed up on the river and both checked. Twito tabled 8♠7♦ for a pair of sevens and it was good enough to make Popovych muck his hand.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with 26,000 in the middle on a flop showing A♦K♦5♦, David Sebesfi fired out 5,000 after his opponent checked to him from the big blind, and after some thought, the big blind called.

On the 7♣ turn the big blind checked again and Sebesfi bet 8,500, which his opponent called. The A♣ completed the board and both players took some time before tapping the table to a showdown.

The big blind rolled over A♠Q♦ for trip aces and Sebesfi smiled before tabling A♥Q♠ for the same hand.

"You should bet the river," joked the big blind as the dealer split up the pot.

"Don't want to get raised there," answered Sebesfi as he collected half the chips.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jeremy Becker raised to 2,000 from under the gun and in early position, Ramon Colillas three bet to 6,500 which Becker called as all other players folded.

The flop of 7♣6♣3♦ saw Becker check call a bet of 6,000 from Colillas.

On the 3♥ and Becker checked once more to Colillas who bet 21,000 and Becker thought about it for a bit before calling.

Becker checked once more on the 10♥ river as Colillas moved all in for 59,400 and Becker snap called.

Jeremy Becker: 10♣10♠
Ramon Colillas: K♥K♠

Becker had rivered tens full to pull ahead of Colillas and he doubled up while Colillas was left with just two blinds.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Dennys Ramos bet 2,500 from the small blind on a A♦A♣J♣A♠10♥ board, and David Stubbs raised to 9,500 from under the gun.

Ramos spent a moment trying to put Stubbs on a hand, and then peeled to recheck his holding before putting in a reluctant call.

Stubbs showed the bad news, giddily turning over A♥J♣ for a flopped full house, and turned quads. "Not a bad flop, eh?" said a wag at the end of the table.
