Good Call For Barbero

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After a few hands without any action at the table, Nacho Barbero on the button opened to 10,000. Imad Derwiche defended from the big blind, and a Q?5?3? flop landed on the table.

Barbero made a continuation bet of 11,000, but Derwiche didn��t back down and check-called. He checked again on the turn 7?, and Barbero checked back.

On the river 6?, Derwiche took the lead and bet 15,000. Barbero went into the tank, and eventually called with K?7?. It was a good call, as Derwiche only revealed A?2?.

David Yan
David Yan

Timothy Adams opened 10,000 in middle position before David Yan three-bet 31,000 in the cutoff. The action quickly folded back to Adams and he made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8?8?4?, and Adams checked to Yan who continued for 25,000. Adams took 25 seconds and tossed in the call.

The 10? fell on the turn and Adams checked once again before Yan fired a second bullet of 53,000. After a few seconds, Adams pitched his cards back to the dealer.

Nashar Makes A Double Elimination

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After an open by Hassan Nashar in the cutoff, Francisco Benitez moved all in for 28,000 chips from the button. In the small blind, Ren Lin decided to reshove for 124,500 chips, and Nashar called.

Francisco Benitez: 10?10?
Ren Lin: A?Q?
Hassan Nashar: K?10?

On A?9?9?8?Q?, Nashar was lucky enough to hit a flush. As he had the biggest stack of the three players, Benitez and Lin were eliminated.

Mokri Jams the Turn

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised 8,000 in early position and was looked up by Felipe Ketzer on the button, as well as Nacho Barbero in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of K?7?3? and both Barbero and Mokri checked to Ketzer who fired out a bet of 9,000. Barbero folded, while Mokri put in a check-raise to 22,000. Ketzer called.

The 7? hit the turn and Mokri pushed his last two green chips across the line for an all-in bet of 50,000, which was enough to force Ketzer to surrender the pot.

A Small Pair Is Enough For Nashar

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Table 2, three players jumped into a pot: Hassan Nashar under the gun, who had just sat down, David Yan in the small blind, and Erik Seidel in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q?4?K?, where Nashar bet 12,000. Yan folded at this point, but Seidel check-called. He check-called again after Nashar fired a second barrel of 17,000 on the turn 7?. However, when he checked a third time on the river K?, Nashar checked back.

Without much conviction, Seidel revealed J?10? for a missed straight draw. Nashar then showed 4?2? for a pair and claimed the pot.
