Dmitry Yurasov
Dmitry Yurasov

Dmitry Yurasov opened in middle position to 2,500 and got called in one spot when the big blind defended.

The 7?7?9? flop landed and action checked to Yurasov who continued for 2,000. The big blind then check-raised to 5,000. Yurasov sat in the tank for a moment but then put in the chips.

The 4? rolled off on the turn and the big blind slowed down with a check. Yurasov wasted little time before taking the betting lead back and putting out another 5,000. the big blind called and the A? landed on the river.

The big blind checked once more and Yurasov thought over his options before going almost full pot with a bet of 20,500. The big blind tanked for about a minute but it may have just been to save face. Eventually his cards hit the muck and Yurasov scooped.

Karaliunas Wins the Pot and Then Gets a Gift

Level 5 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was an early position open to 2,500 before a player in late position called and then action was on Simas Karaliunas on the button. After a moment of thought he put in a three-bet to 10,000. The original raiser folded and then the late position player called.

The 7?4?A? flop landed and action checked to Karaliunas who continued for 15,000 and got called before the 9? hit the turn.

It was checked to Karaliunas again and he put out another bet of 20,000. His opppeoont couldnt bring themselves to put in anymore chips and folded.

Karaliunas dragged the pot and a couple hands later he was facing a limp reraise from under the gun with a caller behind. He rejammed and got all the chips after the limp reraiser tabled 7?2? for a stone cold bluff that would gift Karaliunas a nice portion of his stack.

"John One" Wins Massive Three-Way All In

Level 6 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

"John One" opened under the gun to 3,000. He got called in middle position and late position before the action moved to the small blind who moved all in for about 40,000.

"John One" called the jam and then action was on the middle position player who rejammed over the top for 90,000. The late position player folded and action moved back to "John Doe" who went into the tank but eventually called and the cards hit their backs.

Small Blind: A?5?
Middle Position: A?Q?
"John One": K?Q?

Things were looking good for middle position on the 3?9?3? flop and even better on the 2? turn. However, the K? river would dash those hopes and "John One" would drag a massive chip-lead pot.

Huseyin Akgul
Huseyin Akgul

With two players seeing a board of K?8?4?, Albert Diwan was all in from the big blind for his last 30,400 and called by Huseyin Akgul in middle position who covered.

Albert Diwan: K?4?
Huseyin Akgul: K?8?

Both players had flopped two pair but Akgul was very far ahead with kings and eights. the A? turn gave Diwan some chop outs but the 6? river was a brick and Diwan was sent to the rail while Akgul collected the last of his chips.
