Paik Teaches Pressure Lesson

Nível 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante
Albert Paik
Albert Paik

Having a big stack gives you a lot of leverage in poker tournaments; a lesson Albert Paik is keen to teach the rest of his table.

School was already in session in a three-way hand between Professor Paik (Ph.D. in aggression), Vitaly Tevis and Beh Kok Weng. We caught the action on the flop with the board reading {9-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} and over 15,000 already in the pot just as Weng (small blind) and Paik (big blind) checked the action over to Tevis.

Tevis had obviously not done his homework and decided to take a stab for 4,800. Weng was another inattentive pupil slipping behind in his studies and he elected to make the call before Paik reiterated his point forcibly with a check-raise to 15,000 in total.

Tevis looked nonplussed by this turn of events but grudgingly found the fold, and after chewing it over so did Weng leaving Paik to drag in the pot and chip up further.

Preflop Aggression Wins

Nível 11 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

David Peters was first into the pot, raising it to 3,700 from early position. Peter Jaksland called in the small blind before Michael Addamo three-bet to 12,200 from the big blind. Peters thought for a moment and folded. Jaksland spent more than a moment thinking, but also folded.

In the next hand, the player in the hijack seat raised to 3,300 and Jaksland pushed all in for 25,000, winning the pot when his opponent gave up.

Deyra Takes a Bite Out of the Croc

Nível 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Billy Argyros
Billy Argyros

Ivan Deyra opened to 3,000 from late position and Billy 'The Croc' Argyros bumped it up to 9,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Deyra made the call.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Deyra check-called a bet of 14,000 from the Croc, bringing the {q-Clubs} on the turn. Both players checked to see the {10-Hearts} peeled off the deck on the river.

Deyra decided to take the betting lead and fired out a bet of 18,500. Argyros agonized over the decision for a moment before tossing a call into the pot.

Deyra showed Argyros the bad news, tabling {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for a full house.

Chen’s Ten-ball Shoots Freiburghaus Out

Nível 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Taiwan’s Yen 'Pete' Chen and David Freiburghaus got it all in preflop, Freiburghaus moving all in from the small blind for the last of his chips and Chen, who had him easily covered, making the call.

Freiburghaus was the at-risk player but he had the best hand in poker — {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} — which unsurprisingly was in front of Chen’s {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}.

However, the {10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop hit the table to a cry of “ten-ball!” from Chen. There was no miracle ace on the turn or river and a disgruntled-looking Freiburghaus headed for the rail while Chen stacked up to 145,000.

Smith Hits a Straight

Nível 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Frederik Farrington raised to 2,000 from the hijack seat and Elliot Smith called from the big blind. The players went heads-up to a flop of {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and both checked.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and Smith led out for 5,000, getting a call from Farrington. The river was the {5-Hearts} and Smith pushed all in for his remaining 23,000. Farrington barely paused before calling. Smith flipped up {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a rivered straight, grinning. Farrington shook his head, paying out the double-up while showing his {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

"You had to call with jack-six?" Farrington said lightheartedly, referring to the preflop action.

"I just wanted to get you," Smith joked.

Farrington was left with a very short stack, pushed it all in the next hand, and won a double-up with {8-}{9-} over an opponent's {q-}{10-}.
