frankvisser

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika started today with less than a starting stack, and he was even further down to a mere 3,500 chips when he put them all in from middle position. Ehsam Amiri then rejammed from the cutoff for 29,000 and the rest of the table folded.

Aliaksei Boika: Q♦9♠
Ehsan Amiri: A♦5♣

Boika flopped an open-ended straight draw on 7♠J♦10♥, and while the 7♣ turn did not help him, the K♠ river completed the draw to double him up to six big blinds.

Taherkhani Checks That Twice?

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Boris Angelov opened in middle position to 3,000 before the action made it to Kanan Taherkhani in the small blind who put in a three-bet to 9,000. Angelov called and they were off to a flop heads up.

The A♠K♣6♣ flop hit the felt and Taherkhani continued for 6,000. Angelov called and the dealer pealed off the 3♥ on the turn.

Taherkhani slowed down with a check and Angelov checked back. The J♦ landed on the river and after a little thought Taherkhani checked once more. Angelov snap checked back and Taherkhani tabled an interesting hand.

It appeared he was getting very trappy as he rolled over A♣A♥ for top set that was checked twice. He still scooped and is sitting with a very nice stack early in the day.

Kanan Taherkhani	225,000 53,000	53,000

Mateos Sends Badziakouski to the Rail

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened the cutoff to 4,000 before the action made it to fellow high stakes pro Mikita Badziakouski in the small blind.

After a moment he sent in his remaining 25,000 chips and Mateos snap called.

Mikita Badziakouski: 4♠4♦
Adrian Mateos: 5♠5♦

The dealer would bring no help to Badziakouski on the 6♦K♠8♣2♣A♥ board and he would hit the rail at the hands of Mateos.

Talbot Off to Great Start

frankvisser

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

PokerStars' Parker Talbot was one of the players who registered at the start of the day. He saw a flop of 2♣3♦9♠ against his opponent Enrico Camosci. Talbot checked from the hijack and Camosci followed suit on the button.

Talbot then checked again on the 7♦ turn before Camosci made a bet of 7,000 into the 15,000 pot. Talbot responded with a raise to 24,000 and Camosci quickly folded.

The very next hand, Talbot raised to 5,000 from middle position and received a call from button Ghassan Bitar. Dario Sammartino then made a three-bet to 24,000 from the big blind before Talbot reraised to 47,000. Bitar got out of the way and Sammartino needed to spend three time bank extenstions to reach the same conclusion, forfeiting the pot to the Canadian streamer.

frankvisser

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Paulius Plausinaitis and [Removed:452] had created a massive pot of 175,000 chips when the dealer dealt the river to complete the K♦J♣5♥Q♠3♣ board.

Plausinaitis checked from early position and Kaladjurdjevic spent some time in the tank before knuckling it back. Plauisnaitis showed Q♥10♥ for a pair of queens, and Kaladjurdjevic mucked while shaking his head.

With this pot, Plausinaitis grabbed the chip lead in the room, having almost 14 starting stacks in his possession.
