"Ask And They Shall Receive"

Webjoker

Nível 2 : 400/800, 100 ante

When we arrived Marvin Rettenmaier still had 2,500 in front of him, and so did Chamath Palihapitiya in the hijack position. From the button Yevgeniy Timoshenko had made it 8,200 to go and the small blind had made the call. Rettenmaier folded but Palihapitiya made the call. "Just put a queen up there" Palihapitiya laughed.

"Someone call the floor" the small blind laughed out loud, seeing that Palihapitiya had gotten what he had asked for. "Ask and they shall receive" Palihapitiya laughed. The small blind and Palihapitiya checked to Timoshenko who contemplated his options. "I'll make it simple for you, I'm gonna call" said Palihapitiya to Timoshenko. Timoshenko bet out 14,200 nonetheless and, as promised, Palihapitiya made the call after the small blind had folded. The turn brought the on the table and Palihapitiya checked again. Timoshenko bet 28,800 and this made Palihapitiya tank. After a little while he folded, leaving the pot to Timoshenko.

Charania Versus Perkins

Webjoker

Nível 2 : 400/800, 100 ante

The following five community cards were already out when we arrived: | | . Bill Perkins bet out 21,000 and right next to him Mohsin Charania had the action on him. Charania cut out 21,000 from his stack, and for a second it looked like he was going to toss those in to make the call. He quickly added two 25,000 chips though, and thus made it 71,000 to go. Perkins immediately called but could muck somewhat frustrated as Charania tabled for a flopped set.
