Careful Now

Nível 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

The action seems to have slowed down a little bit on table one with fewer hands going post flop and a few opens meeting no resistance. Steve O’Dwyer in particular seems to be able to steal the blinds and antes in position now that his stack is in a more healthy state. Dan Smith won a little pot when he opened to 6,000 in the cut-off and got called in the blinds. A continuation bet of 9,000 when it was checked to him on a board was good enough. Vitaly Lunkin has been fairly quiet so far, but a button three bet to 15,000 was persuasive enough to win him the pot.

Show if I fold?

Nível 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Philip Sternheimer opened the action from early position and got one caller in Steve O’Dwyer. The two of them saw a flop of . Sternheimer continued for 14,000 and O’Dwyer called. The turn was the , this time Sternheimer checked and it was O’Dwyer who did the betting to the tune of 30,000. A call from Sternheimer and we saw a river card . Sternheimer changed tack and led out for 33,300 and perhaps regretted it when O’Dwyer raised him to 82,000.

Sternheimer asked O’Dwyer how much he had behind and discovered it wasn’t a whole lot more. For his part Sternheimer had 120,000 behind so it was a critical decision. Both players had taken a strange line in the hand and it was left to Sternheimer to the one who faced the final confusing decision. He took several minutes to decide. “Will you show if I fold?” he asked at one point, but O’Dwyer sat still as a rock, hand over his mouth.

Sternheimer folded and after the chips were pushed to him O’Dwyer quietly slid his cards, face down, to the dealer. No show.

Demjan Doubles Through Liviu

Nível 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Demjan:
Liviu:

Demjan was behind preflop but managed to take the lead with a seven on the flop. The turn made things interesting as Liviu picked up a flush draw, but the river failed to help him. Demjan's pair of sevens held and he received a much-needed double.

Smith Trips Up

Nível 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Max Lehmanski opened under the gun for 5,100 and found a solitary caller in Dan Smith from mid position. They saw a flop of . Lehmanski continued after some thought for 6,800 and got the call from Smith. The on the turn and Lehmanski saw no reason to slow down betting 18,000 this time. Again Smith called and we saw a river . Lehmanski took his time and with his suspicions seemingly aroused checked it. Smith duly bet 42,000. Lehmanski took some time before calling the bet and it was costly curiosity as Smith turned over for the rivered trips.
