Niveau 20 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Namhyung Kim raised to 40,000 in the hijack and was called by Bruno Stefanelli and Barny Boatman from the blinds.

The flop came 5♣K♦2♠ and action checked to Kim who bet 70,000. Stefanelli quickly folded as action went on Boatman.

Boatman then raised to 235,000 and Kim began covering his mouth with his hoodie as he went into the tank. He kept this position for several minutes until he checked his cards and mucked.

Boatman let out a pretend fist pump and Kim could only laugh as Boatman padded his chip lead.

With the flop showing 9♦7♠4♥, Nino Pansier had checked out of the big blind and Dorel Eldabach bet 50,000 on the button. What followed was the pot-sized check-raise by Pansier and Eldabach studied his cards twice before tossing in a single chip.

"Oh it was not all-in?" Eldabach inquired when the dealer pointed out Pansier's raising amount.

Both however agreed to just get it in anyways with Pansier at risk.

Nino Pansier: 7♣6♦4♠2♥
Dorel Eldabach: 6♥5♣4♦3♣

Eldabach had straight outs already and the 2♠ turn increased the equity of the PLO high-stakes cash game player. However, the Q♠ river was a brick and Pansier doubled for 267,000.
