Edwards Correctly Hero Calls the River

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Tom Edwards started the hand by raising out of the hijack to 11,000. Both the button and the big blind called.

The flop came 2♦K♠3♦ and the board checked through to the K♥ on the turn. The big blind now took the lead for 9,000, Edwards called and the button folded.

The river landed the 4♥ and the big blind sized up to 40,000. Edwards didn't need much time to sniff this one out as he flicked in one chip for the call. The big blind showed 10♦8♦ for a missed flush draw while Edwards tabled the winning 7♦7♠.

Livello 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Samuel Bifarella bet 6,000 into a flop of 10♠3♦7♣ and Kevin O'Donnell called. Both players declined to bet on the 2♠ turn.

On a Q♦ river O'Donnell overbet the pot, laying five pink 5,000 chips in front of him.

"I don't believe," said Bifarella as he mucked.

"If you don't believe why didn't you call?" asked O'Donnell.

"Some of your bluffs beat me!" laughed Bifarella.

Livello 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A player in the cutoff raised to 9,000, Sebastien Grax on the button called and the big blind defended.

On a flop of 3♣A♦2♠, all three players checked the hand through to the turn which came the 6♠. This was seemingly enough for the big blind to take a stand as he shoved all in for the remainder of his stack. While the cutoff folded, Grax snap-called and the cards were on their backs.

Big Blind: J♣6♥
Sebastien Grax: A♠J♦

The river did not change things and Grax claimed the pot and another tournament life.
