Positional Pot Proves Positive

Richard Austin limps in for 24,000 from third position and Ferit Gabriellson raises the pot on the button to 108,000. The blinds fold and Austin makes the call.

The flop is {8-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}, both players check this and then the {10-Hearts} and {3-Hearts} river. Austin flips {8-?} {6-?} {4-?} {3-?} but Gabriellson wins with a straightening {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds}.

Gabriellson Chips Up

Richard Austin limped from middle position, and Robin Keston called on the button. Ferit Gabriellson completed from the small blind and Matt Graham checked his option in the big blind.

The multi-way flop came down {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{2-Hearts} and action checked around. The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and Gabriellson led out with a pot-sized bet of 96,000 and all three opponents laid it down.

One More For Arieh, Then One For Keston.

Lunkin, Gabriellson, Greenstein, Arieh all limp on Mattsson's big blind.

The flop is {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {8-Spades} and Arieh takes this one with a lead out too.

Next hand sees Robin Keston limp reraise after Gabriellson had put in an isolating raise. The Swede quickly gives it up.
