MattHansen

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The last hand before the break, in the previous level, saw four players heading to a three-way all-in situation.

The action started when Hakim Zoufri raised to 1,100 from middle position. It folded to Ivan Deyra on the button, who flat called. Small blind Jamil Wakil and big blind Victoria Livschitz followed suit, and the quartet saw a flop.

A straight flush board of was what the deck presented the players with. The first three players to act checked to Deyra, who put out a bet of 1,500. All players still liked their hand enough to see a turn with, and they all called.

The turn is where the hand really took off. After everyone checked to Deyra once more, he raised his bet sizing to 5,500. Wakil quickly got out of the way, but Livschitz looked at her last 13,800 chips, sighed, and put them in the middle. Zoufri then used a time extension before putting in six T-5,000 chips. The 30,000 raise was enough to cover Deyra's 22,700 stack.

Deyra responded by throwing all his time bank cards towards the dealer, indicating that he was going to be in the tank for a while. When he emerged, he had two of them left, and had decided to make the call.

Victoria Livschitz:
Ivan Deyra:
Hakim Zoufri:

Livschitz had the nuts, leaving Deyra drawing dead for the main pot. Zoufri had a set and thus needed the board to pair to scoop the entire pot.

The river was the and Livschitz tripled, while Deyra's straight won him the side pot. Livschitz could not believed what had happened, as all three players left to quickly took what remained of their break.
