With the board already out and showing K♣7♥J♥2♣3♦, Victor Ramdin, in the cutoff, bet 100,000.

Amin Moustavi, on the button, raised it up to 300,000, sending Ramdin into the tank.

After around two minutes, Ramdin decided to fold, and flashed the K♠ as he did. Mostafavi couldn't resist showing the bluff, and tabled A♠8♥.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Gunnar Wedde bet 35,000 from middle position and was met with a raise of 130,000 from Andy Black in the big blind. Wedde announced all-in and covered Black who had 600,000 total at the start of the hand.

The Irishman went deep into the tank and after a couple of minutes made the call.

Andy Black: A♠J♥
Gunnar Wedde: K♣K♥

Black was in bad shape and was virtually drawing dead after Wedde flopped a full house on the K♦9♣9♥. Wedde improved to quads after the 2♦K♥ completed the board.

The usually vocal Black stood at the table silent shaking his head waiting for his slip to take to the pay cage.

Livello 20 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The action is picked up on a board of 5♦3♥2♦Q♣ and checked to David Anderson who put out a bet. The out of position player made the call and the river landed a 9♦.

The out of position player snap went all in having Anderson covered.

Anderson went into the tank and clearly had a very tough decision. After about three minutes in the tank he said "I have to call" and turned over A♦A♥. The out of position player slammed pocket sixes on the table for a clear bluff attempt and Anderson scooped the pot and earned a pure double up.
