Boatman Forces Folds

Livello 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

David Kaufmann raised to 300,000 from middle position with A♣6♣ and the action folded to Barny Boatman on the button, who made it 875,000 to go with 7♥5♥.

The blinds got out of the way and Kaufmann folded quickly as well, granting the pot to Boatman.

The very next hand, Aleksejs Ponakovs was the one in middle position and raised to 300,000 with K♦6♦. It once again folded to Boatman, who this time opted for a sizing of 750,000 with A♥9♥.

Another fold followed, seeing the British poker legend chip up through his preflop aggression.

Livello 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 300,000 from the cutoff with A♥6♥ and Lorenzo Arduini defended K♥10♥ in the big blind. Ponakovs flopped a full house on 6♠A♣A♠ and made a bet of 150,000.

Arduini check-called and the turn saw the 10♣ arrive. Arduini checked once more and was faced with a 700,000 bet from Ponakovs. Having been upgraded to two pair, Arduini made the call and the J♦ river completed the board.

A third check followed from Arduini, after which Ponakovs put 1,700,000 chips in the middle. Arduini used three time bank extensions but eventually stuck in the call.

He saw the bad news at showdown and paid his dues to the Latvian high roller, who soared up the leaderboard as a result.

Barer Folds Top Set, Extends Kaufmann's Lead

Livello 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

David Kaufmann looked down at 10♥10♣ in middle position and raised it up to 300,000. Peter Jorgne called in the cutoff with 7♥7♦ and the action folded to Ami Barer in the big blind, who was sitting with J♠J♥.

After thinking for a while, he tossed in a call and a flop of J♦10♦2♠ was dealt. Barer checked his top set before Kaufmann bet out 300,000 with his middle set. Jorgne called with his sevens, but Barer bumped up the price to 1,400,000.

Kaufmann put in the extra chips, while Jorgne quickly got out of the way. The 6♥ turn rolled off and Barer used one time bank card before firing 2,675,000 in the middle, about half his remaining stack. Kaufmann just called and the 3♦ river completed the board.

Barer slowed down and checked the flush-completing card, but Kaufmann pushed enough chips in the middle to put Barer all-in for his final 2,780,000. Barer took a long time but eventually convinced himself to fold the better hand and conceded the pot to Kaufmann.
