Su Gets a Value Bet In

Ollie Garland

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The pot stood at approximately 8,500 with three players looking at a board of K♠8♣5♥.

The action checked to the button, who bet out 3,500. The player under the gun called, as did Andy Su, in the cutoff.

The 4♣ turn checked through to the 7♥ on the river. The action now checked to Su, who bet out 7,000, the button folding and the under-the-gun player called. Su tabled A♣8♠ for second pair; good enough to take down this pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Bin Weng opened to 700 from the hijack and was called by the player in the cutoff and button for a three-way pot.

Weng continued for 700 on the 8♥A♣A♦ flop and only the button called.

The Q♣ fell on the turn and Weng sized up for a 3,200 bet. His opponent again called.

Weng cut out a hefty bet of 14,300 after the 2♦ completed the board and placed it into the middle. His opponent tossed in a single chip to indicate a call and Weng turned over Q♠Q♥ for queens-full of aces.

His opponent mucked and Weng dragged the sizable pot.

Rambo tabled 10♦10♥ for a full house, tens full of nines, while the big blind showed Q♣J♣ for the no good nut straight.

David Salituro

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Robbie Schiffbauer in the small blind had a raise of 2,200 in front of him before the big blind reraised to 6,000. Schiffbauer called and they went heads-up to the J♥J♠8♥ flop.

The big blind then bet 7,000 and Schiffbauer came back with a raise to 25,000. His opponent took a minute before moving all in for around 38,000, and Schiffbauer snap-called.

All-In Player: A♠A♦ All in
Robbie Schiffbauer: J♣10♠

Schiffbauer had flopped trips to leave his opponent's aces needing help to remain alive in the Main Event. The 10♥ turn improved Schiffbauer to a full house, while the river came the 5♦.

The unfortunate player stopped to snap a photo of the board before making his exit early on Day 1a.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Fernando Ribeiro moved all in on the river for 11,700 against two opponents with a flop that read 4♠4♥9♠2♦3♠. Ribeiro had his phone out recording the hand while two players still had action to decide on and Jeremy Maher thought for several moments before he laid it down to the shove.

Troy Gabaldon called after about 30 seconds of thought. Ribeiro tabled the A♠2♠ for a flush which won the pot when Gabaldon had only the Q♣4♣ for trips.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Mike Haberman opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 800. The hijack three-bet to 3,000 and the big blind cold called. Haberman wanted to play for more as he put in a four-bet to 13,000. Only the big blind called.

Haberman continued for 11,000 on 8♥8♦6♠ and his opponent called.

The big blind led for 13,000 on the 6♦ turn before Haberman moved all in for 41,500. His opponent went into the tank, but eventually released his hand back to the dealer.

Action checked to Chufarin on the J♠7♣8♥ flop and he bet 800. Only Shimada called.

Shimada check-called a 3,000 bet from Chufarin on the 5♥ turn and then both players checked on the 6♥ river.

Shimada turned over A♣J♦, which got a groan from Chufarin, who turned over A♠J♣ for the same hand to split the pot.
