Apostolov's Five-Bet Jam Gets Through

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Rosen Apostolov raised to 1,100 from under the gun, Yehonatan Levi three-bet to 4,000 from middle position and Antoine Labat cold four-bet to 8,800 from the cutoff.

Apostolov thought before five-bet jamming for approximately 31,000. Levi went deep into the tank, thinking for some time before making a very frustrated fold. Labat didn't take long to follow suit.

Tach's Big Bluff Gets Caught by Jain

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The action was caught with 22,000 in the middle with two players navigating a full board of 8?4?10?Q?10?.

Farukh Tach, in the big blind, moved all in for approximately 22,000, sending Shashank Jain, who was under the gun, into the tank.

Jain thought for some time before finally choosing to flick in the call, prompting Tach to table his hand defeatedly.

Farukh Tach: 7?6? All in
Shashank Jain: A?10?

Tach's missed straight draw had run into Jain's trips, sending him to the rail.
