Drake Sniffs Out Sadovsky's Bluff

OllieGarland

Niveau 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ian Drake raised to 6,000, from the cutoff. Artem Sadovsky three-bet to 19,000, from the small blind, and Drake called.

"Keep it low and red," asked Drake as the dealer spread the 5♦A♦9♦ flop. Sadovsky check-called a bet of 10,000 from Drake.

The 8♦ turn saw Sadovsky play out of flow, leading for 10,000. Drake elected to see a river.

The 8♣ fell and Sadovsky moved all in for 30,000. Drake went deep into the tank before finally making the call.

Artem Sadovsky: Q♥Q♠
Ian Drake: A♣5♣

Drake's flopped two pair was counterfeited by the river, but this didn't deter him from making this hero call, ultimately sending Sadovsky to the rail.

Yaroshevskyy Triple Barrells

OllieGarland

Niveau 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Igor Yaroshevskyy raised to 6,000 from the cutoff. [Removed:452] defended in the big blind.

Kaladjurdjevic check-called a bet of 11,000 from Yarosshevskyy on the 7♠A♣2♣ flop.

The 5♦ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Yaroshevskyy sized up to 22,000.

The river landed the 6♣ and Kaladjurdjevic checked again. Yarashovskyy placed a bet of approximately 55,000, leaving himself one red 500 chip behind. If Kaladjurdjevic were to make the call, Yaroshevskyy's bounty would not be on the line.

Kaladjurdjevic called the floor to confirm the legality of leaving a singular chip behind. The floor ruled it a legitimate play and the action stood. Kaladjurdjevic then chose to fold.
