Eibinger Gets Raised

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Matthias Eibinger had raised from early position and the player in the big blind defended. Eibinger then continued for 7,500 chips on the J♣9♠4♥ flop and the big blind check-called.

On the 3♦ turn, Eibinger sized up to 18,000 chips, which the big blind check-raised to 50,000.

Eibinger took some time before he found a fold and was left with just over 30 big blinds.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Adam Hendrix opened to 8,500 from middle position and was called by Lucas Greenwood on the button and the player in the big blind.

The flop came 8♠8♥Q♣ and it was checked to Greenwood, who bet 8,000. The big blind folded and Hendrix called.

Both players checked on the 6♥ turn and Hendrix took the initiative with an 11,500 bet on the 5♦ river.

Greenwood laid his hand down after verifying the amount of the bet and Hendrix collected the pot without showing.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Philip Chun's stack was eradicated at the hands of Loi Phan as play approaches the dinner break.

The chips were already in the middle and the full board of 9♠10♠K♠4♦5♦ was showing. Chun had tabled Q♣Q♥ but Phan flopped a set with 9♦9♥ which earned him the pot.

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn, Arthur Fleischmann on the button was involved in a hand with Tom Dwan in the small blind, Bart Lybaert from under the gun and a player in the big blind.

With the board reading 8♥3♠J♣Q♣ action checked to Lybaert. He pushed 15,000 into the middle and received calls from Fleischmann and Dwan while the big blind opted to fold.

The river came 3♣, prompting Dwan to check once more. Lybaert bet again, this time sizing up to 36,000. Fleischmann quickly called but Dwan chose to get out of the way. Lybaert tabled A♠Q♥ and then mucked after Fleischmann flipped over A♣4♣ for the flush to send the pot over to his opponent.

Jon Sofen

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On the PokerGO feature table, Koray Aldemir, the 2021 WSOP Main Event winner, raised on the button to 8,000 with 5♥4♥ before Dan Grolemund three-bet to 26,000 in the small blind with A♠Q♠.

After the world champ made the call, the flop came out 4♦Q♣5♠, a bit of a cooler. Grolemund led for 33,000 and received a call. When the 2♦ appeared on the turn, Grolemund this time opted for a check with top pair.

Aldemir, holding two pair, bet 62,000, about half the size of the pot. Grolemund then went for a check-raise all in for 222,000 total. That put Aldemir into a brief tank before calling the bet. Grolemund had picked up a gutshot straight draw on the turn as an extra four outs, but the 6♣ on the river sent the past champion a monster pot of 570,000, and sent Grolemund home on Day 3.
