Kenjic Prevails Over Cibicek's Pair

Livello 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic started the action with a raise to 125,000 from under the gun, which was called by Jozef Cibicek in the big blind.

The flop revealed 4♦3♠8♦, prompting Cibicek to check-raise Kenjic's bet of 170,000 to 485,000. Kenjic called, and both players checked the 8♥ turn.

There was no more action on the 7♠ river after both players deliberated for some time. It went to showdown, with Cibicek's pair of threes with 3♣6♣ falling short against Kenjic's K♦7♦. Kenjic, who had hoped for a flush, secured the pot with the better pair on the river.

"Show it for the TV"

Livello 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The action commenced with Natan Chauskin raising to 125,000, prompting Jozef Cibicek's call from the big blind after careful consideration.

Following the flop of J♣2♥2♦, Cibicek executed a check-raise to 215,000 after Chauskin's 80,000 bet. Chauskin responded with a three-bet to 500,000, which Cibicek called.

On the 10♣ turn, both players checked.

Cibicek then bet 725,000 on the 8♥ river, prompting Chauskin to fold.

At the start of the day, there was discussion about a "show one card" rule, although some players were opposed to it. Jonathan Pastore revisited the idea: "Show one card, show it for the TV," as the TV crew aimed their camera. Cibicek deliberated whether to reveal one or both cards but ultimately chose to muck his hand.
