Capitan Hero-Calls Correctly

Brett Slezak

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

A player in the hijack limped, the small blind raised, and Bogdan Capitan three-bet from the big blind to 5,600, which only the small blind called.

On the 10♠10♦7♣ flop, the small blind check-called a 5,000 bet from Capitan.

The turn brought the K♠ and the action checked through.

The 3♣ peeled off on the river. The small blind led for 15,000 and Capitan appeared to be in immediate discomfort. After some deliberation he tossed in a chip to call.

Small blind: 9♠9♦
Bogdan Capitan: Q♥Q♣

Capitan made the correct call on the river to win a sizeable pot late in Level 2.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Alejandro Lococo opened to 700 in the hijack and Jorge Postigo made the call on the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♣10♣6♦ and Lococo check-called a bet of 1,200.

The 10♠ paired the board on the turn and Lococo check-called another bet of 4,000 from Postigo.

When the 4♠ completed the board on the river, Lococo checked for a final time. Postigo jammed for 15,400, putting Lococo in the tank. After about a minute and a half, he made the call.

Postigo instantly rolled over 6♠6♥, flopping a set of sixes and making a full house and Lococo tabled K♣J♠ as he paid the bet.

Alan Keating: 8♦7♦ All in
Opponent: A♠K♥

Keating flopped a flush against the top two pair of his opponent and he was able to avoid the board pairing as the dealer ran out the 10♠ turn and the 3♣ river.

Dan O'Hair

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Three ways on a flop of 4♦6♣5♦, Chance Kornuth checked from the small blind and the player in the big blind checked to Matthew Ledger, who bet 1,100 on the button. Kornuth then check-raised to 3,900, which got a fold from the big blind and a call from Ledger.

Ledger called a 5,800 bet from Kornuth on the 9♥ turn and Kornuth fired 13,000 into the middle after the 8♠ completed the board.

Ledger shoved after a bit of thought, which was enough to put Kornuth all in for 55,600 total.

"This might take a bit, ya'll," Kornuth said, clearly struggling with his decision.

After several minutes, Kornuth said he didn't think he could fold and put in the call while tabling 6♥6♠ for a flopped set of sixes.

Ledger showed Kornuth the bad news as he turned over 7♦7♣ for a rivered straight to eliminate Kornuth early on Day 1d.

"Good luck guys," Kornuth wished his tablemates as he exited the tournament area.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Aneris Adomkevicius raised and was called only by Diego Gomez in the big blind. They checked down the J♠6♣4♣6♠3♦ board and Gomez tabled the K♠7♠ for a pair of sixes and king-high. Adomkevicius glanced at his cards twice and mucked but remains above two times the starting stack.

Also a big stack in the Horseshoe Ballroom is Valentino Konakchiev, who has a similar stack size. Konakchiev continued for 500 on a A♦A♥10♣ flop and Ashley McKay check-called. They checked the K♦ turn and McKay's bet of 2,600 on the 6♠ river won the pot uncontested.

Frank Visser

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Pierpaolo Lamanna and his opponent in middle position had arrived on a completed board of 8♣6♦4♠K♠Q♥. His opponent made a bet of 5,500 into the pot of 10,000 chips and Lamanna raised to 16,000.
