Three Barrels For Matus

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Toni Kaukua opened to 12,000 from the cutoff and saw Illia Matus call in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 4♠5♠3♣, where Matus took the lead and bet 11,000. Kaukua wasn't impressed and raised to 33,000.

Matus eventually called, then opted for an unusual line on the turn 7♦ as he took the lead again and bet 32,000. Kaukua quickly called to find the K♠ on the river.

Matus didn't back down and fired a third barrel of 125,000. Kaukua didn't seem very happy and decided to fold. A few hands later, the table broke

Smiljkovic Sends Kerber to The Rail

OHairDJ

Niveau 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kelvin Kerber shoved for his last 37,000 from the hijack and action folded to Daniel Smiljkovic in the big blind, who asked for a count and called to put Kerber at risk.

Kelvin Kerber: 7♦6♦
Daniel Smiljkovic: A♠3♣

The Q♣2♥6♥ flop put Kerber in the lead with a pair of sixes, but the A♦ turn left him drawing slim after Smiljkovic paired his ace.

The A♥ river improved Smiljkovic to trip aces and Kerber wished his tablemates good luck as he exited the tournament area.

Ramin Hajiyev opened to 13,000 first-to-act and was called by Yisha Chen in the hijack, Erik Frieberg on the button, and Magnus Persson in the big blind.

Persson checked to Hajiyev on the 9♣9♠5♣ flop and he bet 21,000. Chen called and then Friberg squeezed to 65,000. Everyone folded in turn and Friberg dragged the pot uncontested.

"No comment," Friberg responded.
