Shak Takes From Lindgren

Liam Gannon

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Dan Shak raised to 800 from early position and Erick Lindgren called in middle position while the player in the big blind defended.

Action checked to Lindgren on the Q♦9♦8♦ flop where he bet 1,000 and only Shak called.

Both players checked the 6♣ turn to the 3♠ river where Shak took over the betting lead, throwing in 2,000. Lindgren sighed and released his hand into the muck, ceding the pot to Shak.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Toby Lewis opened to 800 from the cutoff and received a call from a player in the big blind.

The big blind checked following the 3♣Q♠4♦ flop before folding to a continuation from Lewis to send a modest pot over to his opponent. Lewis has so far been holding steady in his quest to make back-to-back main event final tables after finishing in seventh place last year.

Maxime Taldir

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Four-way in a limped pot on 8♠4♠6♠, Florence Mazet in the big blind led out for 500 and she was called by the under-the-gun player and Michael Troutt in the cutoff, while the small blind check-folded.

All three players checked the J♣ turn, and Mazet checked again the 2♠ river. The under-the-gun player took this opportunity to bet 600 with 6♣5♣ for a pair. Troutt in the hijack called with A♦7♠ for a flush. And as Mazet folded, he scooped the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Nicholas Marchington raised to 1,000 in the hijack before Yaniv Peretz three-bet to 3,200 in the small blind. Marchington came back with a four-bet to 7,000 and Peretz called.

The flop came 6♠9♦7♦ and Marchington bet 7,000. Peretz called and the 10♥ fell on the turn.

He checked to Marchington, who sat motionless for several minutes before putting in another 8,000. Peretz called to see the 2♣ river.

Peretz checked again, and Marchington once more took more than a minute before betting 45,000. Peretz only had around 15,000 remaining and also tanked for a few minutes. He eventually folded and Marchington took the lengthy pot.
