zedmaster84

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Ben Lamb raised on the button and Jason Daly called all-in for 115,000 in the small blind, James Chen called out of the big blind.

Following a flop of 10♦9♣5♣, Chen check-folded and the showdown proceeded as follows.

Jason Daly: A♦Q♥2♠2♣
Ben Lamb: A♣J♦7♣3♦

The 8♥ turn gave Lamb a straight to go with his flush draw but the 6♦ river ensured the split pot.

Soon after that, Chen raised the button and Erik Seidel defended out of the big blind. Seidel check-called the K♣6♣5♠ flop and check-folded the 4♠ turn when Chen bet with around 500,000 behind.

Jason Daly raised from late position and was called by both Erik Seidel in the small blind and James Obst in the big blind.

The flop came down 8♦8♥K♣ and all three players checked.

Seidel and Obst would check the J♦ turn to Daly, who would then commit his remaining chips to the pot. Seidel folded and Obst called.

Jason Daly: J♥7♦4♦3♥
James Obst: A♣Q♣9♣7♠

Daly was ahead going into the river, but the dealer delivered one Obst's wins in the form of the 10♥ and sent Daly to the payout desk.

Yass Hits Quads And Gets Value From Obst

zedmaster84

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

James Obst raised it up from the cutoff and Robert Yass defended out of the big blind, which led to the 9♣3♣3♥ flop. Yass check-called to see the 3♦ appear on the turn and checked again. Obst bet and Yass went into the tank for more than two minutes, carefully examining his remaining stack, before he called.

The 2♦ river was checked by Yass and Obst bet again. This time, Yass check-raised rather quickly within a couple of seconds and Obst instantly had a smirk on the face. The Aussie mulled it over for a minute and called as Yass announced quads, tabling the Q♣10♣3♠2♥ to scoop a decent pot.

Lamb Gets Chen to Fold

zedmaster84

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

From under the gun, James Chen raised and Ben Lamb came along out of the big blind. The 8♥8♠3♦ flop was checked by Lamb who then check-raised a bet of Chen. Once Chen called, the 10♦ turn followed and Lamb bet near instantly, picking up a reluctant call by his table neighbour.

That led them to the J♠ river on which Lamb bet again. Chen went into a brief tank and sent his cards into the muck.

Becker Scoops Lamb to Stay Alive

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Erik Seidel raised from early position and was called by Ben Lamb on the button and Johannes Becker in the big blind.

The three players took a flop of 5♥8♦Q♥ and both Becker and Seidel checked over Lamb, who bet. Becker raised all-in, Seidel got out of the way and Lamb called.

Johannes Becker: A♥J♥8♥2♠
Ben Lamb: A♠5♠5♣3♦

Lamb was out front with a set of fives, but the dealer would deliver the ace-high flush for Becker on the turn in the form of the K♥ and hold off on pairing the board for Lamb on the 4♥ river, giving Becker the much needed double.

Becker Chops With Obst; Lamb Scoops Them Both

zedmaster84

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Johannes Becker raised on the button, and James Obst called out of the big blind. Obst opted to check-raise the 7♣3♠2♥ flop, and Becker came along to the 6♦ turn on which Obst bet and Becker called.

Obst also bet the J♥ river for what was essentially his all-in, and Becker looked him up. Obst showed the 9♥8♠5♥4♦ for a straight and Becker took the low with the A♦8♦6♣4♠.

Ben Lamb then raised and earned calls from Becker in the cutoff as well as Obst in the small blind. Three ways to the J♠9♣2♦ flop, Obst checked, and Lamb bet to earn two calls thereafter.

The 5♥ turn was checked by Obst and Lamb checked his stack carefully before he checked, too, as did Becker. There was no betting action on the Q♠ river, and Lamb announced queen-deuce for two pair, exposing the A♦Q♣8♣2♠.

"Unfortunate," Becker replied and checked his cards before sending them to the muck. He then mentioned that Lamb only had three outs, and the ace or deuce were no good. Brad Ruben pointed out that a ten would have done also, as Lamb had a gutshot on the flop.

Becker Chops to Stave Off Elimination

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Johannes Becker raised from late position and was called by Erik Seidel on the button and Luis Velador in the big blind.

The dealer rolled out the 7♦J♠5♣ flop and both Seidel and Velador called a bet from Becker.

The pot began to grow on the 6♠ turn, when Becker put out another bet when checked to by Velador, but it was Seidel who would raise. Both players called.

The Q♣ hit the river and both Velador and Becker checked to Seidel, who bet. Velador called and Becker committed his remaining chips, which happened to be less than a full bet, creating a small side pot between Seidel and Velador.

Johannes Becker: A♥J♣10♦2♦
Erik Seidel: A♣9♣8♥3♥
Luis Velador: A♠K♥9♦2♠

Seidel would win the high with a nine-high straight and Becker and Velador would chop the low with the same seventy-six.

Velador Gets River Value From Yass

zedmaster84

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

Luis Velador raised in the cutoff and Robert Yass announced a reraise on the button. While Velador was fumbling to put in the correct amount, Ben Lamb pointed out that Yass' raising chips were incorrect, too, as he had only put in 160,000 but verbally declared the three-bet.

"You still wanna raise?" Velador asked with a big grin on the face moments before both players put in the required 240,000. They checked all the way to the K♠7♠7♦K♦4♠ river on which Velador bet and Yass reluctantly paid it off. Velador tabled the A♠6♠6♥3♠ for the ace-high flush and that won the pot.

Becker Double Leaves Obst on Fumes

zedmaster84

Niveau 24 : Limits 80,000/160,000, 0 ante

James Obst raised for the second hand in a row, this time from under the gun. Johannes Becker in the small blind three-bet and Obst called as the two table short stacks headed to the 10♥9♦8♥ flop. Becker checked and Obst bet, sending his opponent into agony for half a minute.

As Becker mulled it over, he eventually got the short stack in and the cards were flipped over. "I have the worst possible hand," Obst declared with a dry smile on the face while doing so.

Johannes Becker: A♣K♠J♠5♠
James Obst: A♠Q♠7♣4♣

Obst had Becker barely covered by one bet and saw his stack reduced to fumes on the A♦ turn and A♥ river runout.

One hand later, Becker raised on the button and Obst called all-in from the big blind.

James Obst: 10♦9♦5♦3♣
Johannes Becker: J♦J♣8♦7♠

The K♦8♣4♦Q♠A♦ board gave both players a flush and Becker took the high, Obst the low.
