Brewer Loses a Flip to Bust

Livello 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player in middle position raised to 45,000. Chris Brewer in the cutoff three-bet jammed for 335,000 and the action fell on Tetsuma Ishizu on the button who came over the top shoving all in, covering both players.

The player in the middle position thought for some time before folding and allowing the hand to go to showdown.

Chris Brewer: 7♠7♦
Tetsuma Ishizu: A♦K♥

The window card flashed the K♠ before the full board read 8♥5♥K♠4♣9♣ sending Brewer to the rail. The original raiser also confessed they too had ace-king.

Livello 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action folded to Frank Funaro on the button who limped for 15,000. Next to act was Takashi Ogura in the small blind who went all in for 180,000. Farid Jattin then rejammed in the big blind having both players covered. Funaro went into the tank for a moment but eventually made the fold.

Ogura quickly tabled his hand and Jattin flipped over just the 4♥, looked at the dealer and said "I need you to focus. I need you to focus on a black one of these."

Takashi Ogura: A♥6♥
Farid Jattin: 4♥4♦

The dealer must've been focusing as the 4♣ was right in the window. Jattin continued to say "That's a good focus, that's a good focus..." as the dealer put out the full board of 3♠10♥4♣Q♦7♦.

"I need to connect with the dealer before it comes out." Jattin said as he dragged the pot and the bounty.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Farid Jattin	750,000 210,000	210,000

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth sat looking at the large screen and the crescendo of music swelled and his secret bounty chest opened. It revealed a $5,000 bounty.

Farid Jattin laughed from down the table, "Dinner is gonna be sick tonight!"

"Sure, the $5,000 is fine," rationalized Hellmuth, "But I'm just glad to have the chips."

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On a board that read 5♣K♦3♣Q♥, Edward Grinko in early position checked the action to Frank Funaro in the cutoff.

Funaro bet out for 85,000 and the option was back on Grinko. Grinko, the covering stack, thought for some time before shoving all in for the remaining 210,000 in Funaro's stack.

Funaro found a quick fold.

Xu and Sako Face a Glitch

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Qiang Xu and Yuki Sako found themselves all in with a nearly equal number of chips.

Qiang Xu: 8♦8♠
Yuki Sako: 4♣4♠

The 10♥K♠10♦ flop didn't improve Sako's fours, nor did the J♦ turn. But his fortunes improved somewhat when a K♥ rolled off on the river to counterfeit both players and chop the pot.

Matt Berkey joked, "You know one of you was the 250K [bounty]. It's a glitch in the system."

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Matt Berkey	325,000 15,000	15,000
Qiang Xu	255,000 -73,000	-73,000

Yuki Sako	250,000
