Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of A♥J♣6♥Q♣, Kiryl Asaulenka checked in the big blind and Parker Talbot bet 51,000 on the button. Asaulenka called.

Asaulenka checked again on the 4♣ river and Talbot thought for a minute before checking back. Asaulenka tabled A♦10♥ for a pair of aces and the PokerStars Team Pro mucked in defeat while speculating that his opponent would have snap-called if he jammed.

"I dodged a bullet," Talbot said as he patted himself on the back.

Calum_Grant

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Erik Seidel opened to 11,000 from under the gun and was only called by Dinesh Alt from the big blind.

The J♠8♦3♠ flop checked through to the 3♣ turn, and Alt led out for 17,000. Seidel called. Alt then sized up to 40,000 on the 3♥ river before Seidel jammed for 54,000. Alt quickly called and the cards went on their backs.

Alt tabled his K♦J♥ for a full house, threes full of jacks. However, Seidel had the better hand as he turned over his J♦J♣ for jacks full of threes.

Two hands later, the €100,000 EPT Monte Carlo Super High Roller bubbe boy Santhosh Suvarna moved all in from early position for around 75,000 and Seidel called from the small blind.

Santhosh Suvarna: A♥Q♦
Erik Seidel: 8♠8♥

Suvarna paired up to take the lead on the Q♥J♦9♣ flop. However, Seidel had a gut-shot straight draw to go along with his set outs. The 5♦ turn was a brick, but the 10♠ river completed Seidel's straight for him to rake in another big pot.
