Katchalov Catches a Set

Livello 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a flop of {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} Mikhail Smirnov bet 1,200 from under the gun and was called by Eugene Katchalov on the button. When the turn brought the {j-Clubs}, Smirnov check-called a bet of 2,100 from Katchalov. The river was the {a-Hearts} and Smirnov again opted to check-call a bet from Katchalov, this time for 4,200.

Katchalov flipped over his {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a set of threes and Smirnov mucked his hand.

We only saw the tail end of a pot where the board was {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and Dan Kelly called a bet of what looked to be around 6,500 against William Thorson. Thorson turned over {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for a full house, jacks full and Kelly mucked as the two headed in opposite directions.

Action began with a player on the button opening for 750. John Racener responded by re-raising to 1,750 from the small blind. The player in the big blind folded and the original raiser opted to call.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Racener quickly fired 2,200, which got a fold out of his opponent.

Racener has been on a nice upswing lately and is currently sitting with 62,000.

Seiver Serves Himself Up a Double Up

A player under the gun made it 700 preflop, Scott Seiver then moved all in for 7,200, the player in the cut-off flat called, and the big blind moved all in for around 46,000. The under the gun player folded, and action was back on the cut-off. The cut-off went into the tank for a couple of minutes before eventually folding, it looked like he wanted to show the table his hand, but instead made the correct choice of folding it face down. Cards were then tabled.

Seiver: {K-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Big Blind: {A-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

After the cards were flipped over the player in the cut-off announced to the table he folded {k-}{k-}. A crowd was growing around the table as the dealer put out five cards in the middle. They came out {q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Clubs}, Seiver hit quads and doubled up again, and is now above 20,000.

Benba Can't Stay Away From Big Pots

Ben Lamb
Ben Lamb

We reported to you previously how Ben Lamb vaulted himself to the chip lead after a big pot with Maxim Lykov. Well, he just gave some back after putting a shorter stack all in on the turn and getting a call.

We came in when the board read {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Spades} and a little over 15,000 was already in the pot. Lamb's opponent in the big blind bet out 6,225 and Lamb took a break from his massage and IPad to ponder for a bit. As soon as ESPN saw all the chips in the pot they dashed over and the table was a madhouse. Eventually, Lamb pulled off four T5000 chips from his castle of a stack, mere peanuts to him, and tossed them in the pot which effectively put his opponent all in. The player called and showed {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} for top set. Lamb showed {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a gutshot straight draw.

The river came the {j-Clubs} which paired up Lamb but didn't give him the straight he was looking for. Lamb seemed frustrated for a moment but eventually congratulated the player with a (possibly) sincere, "Nice Hand." Lamb sighed and aggressively counted out his remaining chips which total around 185,000. He is still good for the chip lead as far as we know and although he lost a bit there, he is still one of the hottest players on the planet and a dangerous player to have atop the counts.

Bonomo Binks A Double

We didn't catch the action, but when we went over to Justin Bonomo's table, he was counting out his chips after earning a key double up. The board read {9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}, and Bonomo held {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for a flopped straight. His opponent held {k-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for two pair, and according to Bonomo, all the chips went in on the turn. After the hand, Bonomo is back up to nearly 40,000.

Smirnov Doubles

Livello 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Eugene Katchalov raised to 700 from middle position and action folded to Mikhail Smirnov on the button who went all in for a total of 11,750. Katchalov called and the hands were revealed.

Katchalov: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Smirnov: {k-Spades}{q-Spades}

Smirnov was going to need some help to stay alive and indeed the flop brought the {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} giving him a pair of queens and the lead. Katchalov could still catch an ace or a king to win the pot but the turn and river brought the {5-Hearts} and {7-Diamonds} and Smirnov doubled to 24,300 while Katchalov was left with 36,500.
