Obst Skips the Third Barrel

Jan_Kores

Nível 4 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Randy Ohel raised to 3,200 from the cutoff, and James Obst three-bet pot from the button, making it 8,100 to go. Ohel called.

Obst continued on the flop, betting 6,500. Ohel checked-call to see the turn. The hit the felt, and Ohel checked to Obst, who went for the second barrel, pricing the river card at 16,000. Ohel double-checked his cards and called. On the river, Ohel checked fairly quickly again. This time, it was Obst who peeked at his cards, deciding whether or not to bet again. He decided for the latter, saving himself the chips from the hypothetical third barrel.

"Ace-king," Ohel announced, likely glad that Obst didn't bet on the last round. Ohel's was the winning hand, as Obst sent his cards to the muck.

Volpe Coolers Taylor to Soar Over 400k

Jan_Kores

Nível 4 : 1,500/3,000, 0 ante

No-Limit Hold'em

Nearly 200 big blinds filled the pot as small blind Esther Taylor and big blind Paul Volpe approched the river of the board. Taylor checked, and Volpe fired a bet worth just under the half of the pot, making it 65,000 to call.

Taylor was agonized. She apologized to the table for taking her time to make the decision, analyzing the previous streets while holding calling chips in her hands. She had around 125,000 left, and a call with a worse hand would wound her stack tremendously.

Taylor, however, couldn't give up her monster, calling.

Volpe rolled over , and Taylor briefly opened her , proving a hardly avoidable cooler.

Volpe, meanwhile, soared among the top stacks.
