Nouira Succeeds on the River

Nível 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Maher Nouira checked from the cutoff to Jules Dickerson in the big blind on a flop of 4♣5♥K♥. A whopping 75,000 chips were already in the middle and Dickerson added another 15,000 to that with a bet. Nouira did not deem that enough, however, as he elected to put in a raise to 45,000, which Dickerson subsequently called.

Nouira then bet another 40,000 on the K♦ turn, receiving another call from Dickerson, before shoving all in for 167,000 on the 5♣ river.

Dickerson threw in a bunch of time bank extensions while thinking the hand over, but ultimately folded after spending a few of them, granting the pot to his opponent.

Nível 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a board of A♣3♣3♦5♣, Juan Pardo checked from the big blind to Vicente Delgado in the cutoff. Delgado then bet 25,000 into a pot of 35,000 and Pardo raised to 72,000.

Delgado made the call and the 6♥ river completed the board. Both players took a while before checking it down. Pardo revealed K♣6♠ for a rivered pair of sixes, but it was no good against the Q♥3♥ of Delgado, who had flopped trips.
