Davies Takes Three-Way Pot

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

After a raise to 5,500 from Juan Pardo in the cutoff, Jakov Nesterov called on the button, as did Seth Davies in the big blind.

On the {7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Clubs} flop, action was checked to Nesterov who bet 4,000. Both his opponents called.

The turn was the {a-Clubs} and Davies took his time, using a time bank before putting forward a bet of 20,000.

Pardo quickly folded and then after a bit of thought, Nesterov did likewise to send the pot to Davies.

Kayhan Mokri raised to 5,500 in the cutoff and Sam Grafton shoved all in for 19,000 in the small blind. Mokri quickly called and the cards were on their backs.

Sam Grafton: {a-Spades}{6-Spades}
Kayhan Mokri: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and Grafton was able to double up with two pair.

On the next hand, Mokri opened to 5,500 again and Grafton ripped all in for around 40,000 this time. Mokri quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Sam Grafton: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Kayhan Mokri: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

It was deemed a fair fight and the flop of {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} hit both players but it was Mokri in the lead with a set of tens. The {j-Hearts} on the turn and the {7-Hearts} on the river was not enough for Grafton for stay alive.
