Sonsino Snaps Off Hajj

Level 3 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Amir Sonsino had opened from middle position only for Alain Hajj to three-bet to 6,000 from the hijack. Sonsino put in a four-bet to 20,000 and Hajj moved all in. Sonsino snap-called to put Hajj at risk.

Alain Hajj: Q?Q? All in
Amir Sonsino: A?A?

Hajj was in rough shape against Sonsino's aces and was eliminated after failing to improve on the 5?5?K?3?A? runout while Sonsino took down a healthy early pot.

Tot Shows Down Top Pair

Level 3 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Maksim Skripkin opened to 2,400 from the cutoff and received a call from a player in the small blind before Aleksandar Tot squeezed to 14,000 in the big blind. Skripkin called while the small blind folded.

The flop came Q?J?9? and Tot fired an 8,000 continuation bet. Skripkin made the call.

Both players then checked the A? turn leading to the 3? river. Tot bet 7,500 and was called by his opponent.

Tot tabled A?10? for top pair and took down a decent pot.

Kirichenko Takes Multiway Pot

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jovan Kenjic opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and received calls from Aleksandr Kirichenko on the button and a player in the small blind.

The flop came A?K?8?. The small blind checked, Kenjic fired a 2,500 continuation bet, Kirichenko called and the small blind called.

On the Q? turn action checked around to Kirichenko who bet 7,000. The small blind called while Kenjic got out of the way.

Kirichenko bet once more for 7,000 when checked to on the 7? river and this time it was enough to force a fold from his one remaining opponent.

Vinayagamoorthy Cracks Set to Take Monster Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
David Vinayagamoorthy
David Vinayagamoorthy

With three players seeing a board of J?10?9? and roughly 35,000 in the middle, Dinesh Alt checked from the small blind and Atanas Kodinov bet 35,000 from early position. David Vinayagamoorthy then moved all in from middle position, covering both players. Alt went into the tank for a couple minutes before folding and then Kodinov made the call to put himself at risk.

Atanas Kodinov: 9?9? All in
David Vinayagamoorthy: 8?7?

Both players had flopped a monster but Vinayagamoorthy was well ahead with a jack-high straight versus Kodinov's set of nines. The board did not pair on the 2? turn or Q? river and Kodinov was sent to the rail while Vinayagamoorthy scooped a colossal early pot.

Alt mentioned after the hand to one of his tablemates that he had folded the nut-flush draw which would have given him the winner on the turn.
