What's happened to Roger Hairabedian? Ever since he lost that pot to Paul Tedeschi's straight he's changed up his tactics massively.
Gone are his instincts to call and pot control, and in comes a three-betting bluffing machine. He'd already retaken the lead with this style before he bluffed in a big pot.
Tedeschi raised to 12,000 and called when Hairabedian three-bet (again) to 30,000. The flop came and Hairabedian continued for 30,000. Tedeschi called before both players checked the turn.
On the river Hairabedian led for 51,000 and sat as Tedeschi thought for a few minutes. He eventually folded and Hairabedian proudly opened for eight high!
Marvin Rettenmaier has gotten off to a flier in his match against Jonathan Aguiar.
We caught up with the action on the turn when the board read . Rettenmaier saw his 9,600 bet called before he bet 25,500 on the river. Aguiar took his time and called, only to be shown for a full house. He mucked and dropped down to 185,000.
Marvin Rettenmaier and Jonathan Aguiar have taken their seats and are stacking their chips for their second heads up match of the day. The winner of this match will be guaranteed a spot in the final four.
