Oberhauser Spikes the Turn to Double Through McCullagh

Dan O'Hair

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ciaran McCullagh opened to 200,000 from early position and Valentin Oberhauser defended his big blind.

The flop came 9♥Q♠6♠ and Oberhauser bet 550,000 — leaving himself just 45,000 behind. McCullagh quickly announced he was all in and Oberhauser called to put himself at risk.

Valentin Oberhauser: 8♦7♠ All in
Ciaran McCullagh: A♠A♦

The 5♠ turn immediately filled Oberhauser's straight draw and left McCullagh drawing dead.

An irrelevant 5♦ completed the board and Oberhauser was awarded the double up.

Heads-up to the Q♣8♥2♣ flop, Lingkun Lu bet 250,000 and then reluctantly folded when Pedro Safar raised to 1,000,000.

Daniel Zadok pushed all in from the small blind shortly after and Lu called all in for 630,000 with the J♣10♣. Zadok was ahead with Q♠5♠ but the 9♥8♣3♥10♥9♦ board improved Lu to tens and nines.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

There was a misdeal at Table 635 and players returned their cards to the dealer as Toby Gibson angrily showed KxKx and complained about how bad he was running.

Actually, the misdeal was a miracle for Gibson as Biao Ding to his immediate right showed AxAx as those at the table erupted and Gibson changed his tune.

"Look how well I run!" he laughed.

Toby Gibson	10,000,000 2,700,000	2,700,000

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alexander Tkatschew on the button and Daniel Jones in the small blind raised each other and ended up moving all-in with Tkatschew at risk for 2,680,000.

Alexander Tkatschew: 9♦9♣ All in
Daniel Jones: 7♦7♣

There was no sweat for Tkatschew who flopped a boat of 9♠A♥A♠. Jones also found a full house with the 7♠ turn, but Tkatschew doubled up after the 6♠ river.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

There were already almost 2,000,000 chips in the pot on a board of A♠K♦A♥6♠J♥ when Adrian Garcia made an overbet of 2,500,000 into Aloisio Dourado. It took a long time for Dourado to make a decision but eventually, he grabbed two stacks of chips and put them into the pot.

Garcia tabled 4♠3♠ for a total bluff, then Dourado flipped K♣Q♣ and celebrated by punching the air as he raked in the big pot.

Aloisio Dourado	8,500,000 3,500,000	3,500,000

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Naor Slobodskoy raised to 200,000 and Fabiano Kovalski made it 500,000 to go two seats over in the cutoff. Aleksejs Ponakovs in the big blind reluctantly folded and Slobodskoy then clicked it back to 1,300,000. Kovalski moved all-in and his opponent reluctantly called.

Fabiano Kovalski: K♦K♣ All in
Naor Slobodskoy: A♦K♥

"I think the ace of spades will probably come. Yeah, likely the ace of spades," Slobodskoy predicted.

His wish did not come true on the 8♣7♠2♠ flop and Q♣ turn. However, one of the remaining aces indeed came as the A♣ rolled off on the river. Both stacks were counted and Kovalski was covered to hit the rail in painful fashion.

Nezhoda Makes a Big Fold

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rene Nezhoda opened the button to 200,000 and Russell Rosenblum then shoved from the small blind for just under 2,000,000 chips. The big blind folded, and Nezhoda had a decision for his remaining 1,600,000.

"GTO says I'm supposed to call here but my gut tells me to fold," said Nezhoda.

Nezhoda continued to think out loud and seemed suspicious of Rosenblum's demeanor. After a while, Nezhoda folded 10♣10♠ face up and Rosenblum returned his cards face down to the dealer.

"Put that on PokerNews so that everybody knows how much of a nit I am," remarked Nezhoda.
