Niveau 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Two players limped before Thomas Taylor checked his option in the big blind.

Taylor and the under-the-gun limper checked once more and the cutoff put out a bet of 2,200. Only Taylor called.

The 4♠ hit the river and Taylor checked, followed by the cutoff doing the same. Taylor tabled A♠7♠ for top pair, which was good as he added to his stack.

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Player in the cutoff position raised to 1,200. However, on the button, Dinesh Alt three-bet to 3,600. Everyone folded except for the initial raiser, who called.

On the 4♣9♦2♠ flop, both players checked and the 6♦ appeared on the turn. The cutoff took advantage of this card and bet 2,500, which Alt called.

The river brought the J♠. The cutoff player placed 3,500 chips in front of him. Alt took a few seconds to think, and after a brief hesitation, the Swiss player raised to 15,000. His opponent immediately folded, allowing Alt to claim the pot.
