Efe Flops a Boat

Calum Grant

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roger Abed open-jammed for 250,000 from the hijack and was called by Oleg Furman from the cutoff. Aziz Efe then rejammed from the small blind and folded out Furman.

Roger Abed: K?Q?
Aziz Efe: 9?9?

Furman seemed to fume that he folded when seeing the cards, as he said he had Ax10x. However, he soon breathed a sigh of relief as Efe made a full house in the 9?7?7? fllop. The 4? turn and 7? river was just a formality and Abed's exit was confirmed.

Jason Wheeler raised to 65,000 from the small blind. Anton Markov called in the big blind.

Wheeler continued for 55,000 on the 2?10?7? flop. Anton Markov spent some time in the tank before moving all in, putting Wheeler to the test for his extra 220,000 behind the line.

Wheeler thought for some time before electing to make a frustrated fold.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Nicanor Sula opened to 45,000 in early position and got called by George Rabahie in the big blind.

The Q?A?A? flop hit the felt and action quickly checked through to a 10? turn. Rabahie checked again and Sula opted to put his foot back on the gas and bet out for 25,000. This action was met with a quick check-raise to 60,000 by Rabahie. Sula mulled it over and eventually landed on a call.

The 4? landed on the river and Rabahie led for 55,000. After a few moments Sula put in the chips. Rabahie shook his head and tabled 8?4? for a missed flush draw and Sula tabled J?10? for just third pair. He dragged the pot after a great river call.

The pot stood at approximately 185,000 with two players looking at a full board that read 7?10?J?Q?9?.

Mehmet Demirkol, in the big blind, checked the action over to Cecile Ticherfatine, who was under the gun. Ticherfatine placed a sizeable bet of 200,000 and Demirkol went into the tank.

Demirkol thought for so long the clock was called. Within the remaining seconds of his countdown, he flicked in a singular chip. Ticherfatine tabled K?Q? with confidence, and was somewhat annoyed to see Demirkol held K?J?.

Both players chopped this pot with a king-high straight. "What were you thinking about?" Ticherfatine asked as she took back her initial bet.

Level 21 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The action folded to Ignas Jasinevicius on the button who opened to 35,000 before Aziz Efe defended his big blind.

The J?3?3? flop hit the felt and action checked to Jasinevicius on the button who continued for 15,000. Efe only thought about his options for a moment before putting in a small check-raise to 30,000. Jasinevicius mulled it over for a few seconds and then put in a call.

The K? rolled off on the turn and surprisingly Efe snap-checked it over to Jasinevicius. He checked back.

The 7? landed on the river and Efe opted to put his foot back on the gas pedal and bet out for 40,000. Jasinevicius seemed to be a bit perplexed at the line and mulled over his options before eventually thinking better of a call and throwing away his hand.

Efe scooped the pot without having to go to showdown.
