Alati Gets Value From Murthy

Christian Zetzsche

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Neel Murthy raised to 800 and Richard Alati in the big blind called with the words "since it is you".

They checked the 10♥9♥3♣ flop and Alati then bet the 7♠ turn for 1,600 "since it is me". Murthy stuck around and they had some chatter back and forth on the 5♦ river after Alati had bet another 2,800. Murthy eventually called and mucked after he was shown J♠10♠ for top pair.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Darrold Pare opened 700 in early position and David Melius called in the small blind as did Jan-Peter Jachtmann in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♣4♣3♣ and Melius check-called a bet of 1,500 from Pare, while Jachtmann check-folded.

No more bets went in the middle on the A♠ turn or the 6♠ river. Pare rolled over 7♣7♠ but it was no good as Melius tabled 9♣9♥.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The action was picked up on a turn of 3♥2♦A♥6♣, where the player in middle position made a bet of 2,500 and received a call from Thomas Murphy on the button.

The player in middle position continued for 7,500 on the Q♦ river. Murphy spent some time in the tank before announcing a raise to 23,500.

His opponent needed some thinking time of his own before eventually folding and surrendering the pot.

Nick Becker

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

The player in the cutoff raised to 800 and Ari Engel three-bet to 4,000 from the big blind. The cutoff made the call.

The flop came 8♠J♠10♦, Engel continued for 3,200 and the cutoff called, bringing the 10♠ turn. Engel slowed down with a check and the cutoff bet 5,900. Engel called.

On the 8♣ river, Engel checked again, and the cutoff moved all in. Engel asked for a count and the dealer confirmed a bet of 31,400.

Engel, who had about 34,000 behind, was clearly faced with a tough decision and went into the tank.

"I was not expecting to be in this spot," said Engel before eventually making the call and tabling Q♠8♦ for a full house. The cutoff turned over Q♦J♥ for two pair, and was eliminated from the tournament.

Sliter Shows Aces

Herbie Teope

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player under the gun limped in for 300, and it started a chain reaction of raises.

A player in middle position raised to 1,500, resulting in action folding to Frederick Sliter on the button. Sliter peeked at his cards and immediately three-bet to 5,000, an amount that forced out the two blinds and the player who limped under the gun.

The player who originally raised paused a few moments before making the call.

The dealer fanned J♠8♠6♦ on the flop, and the player in middle position checked. Sliter reached into his chip stack to pull out chips, and then bet 7,000, which resulted in a fold.

As the pot was pushed his way, Sliter tabled A♠A♥.

Brett Slezak

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Yashveen Mudireddy opened to 800 from the hijack, Daniel Ivers three-bet from the button, and Robert Kerr four-bet to 6,500 from the small blind, which only Ivers called.

On the J♠8♦5♥ flop, Kerr continued for 4,000 and Ivers called.

The 3♣ peeled off on the turn. Kerr sized up to 11,000 and Ivers let it go after some deliberation.
