Alt Faces Overbet

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Dinesh Alt raised to 1,300 from middle position and Henry Li defended his big blind once the action folded to him.

The flop of 7♥4♦9♠ saw Alt continuation-bet for 2,000 chips and Li check-called. The 10♥ turn then went check-check before the 8♠ river was dealt.

Li now led for an overbet of 10,000 chips. Alt mulled it over for several minutes, until he eventually called, albeit reluctantly.

Li showed J♦9♣ and his rivered straight won him the pot when Alt mucked his cards.

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action was opened under the gun to 1,200. Next to act called, the cutoff called, and action was then on Yuze Ding on the button. Ding opted to three-bet to 8,000. The small blind folded but the big blind cold called and the rest of the players folded.

The players were heads up to a flop of 5♥2♦3♦ and the big blind check-called a 10,000 bet from Ding. The turn was a 7♠ and again action was checked to Ding. He put out a much larger bet of 25,000 this time and the big blind snap called.

The river brought a K♦ and now the action quickly checked through. Ding quickly tabled A♠A♥ and the big blind flashed black pocket tens before mucking.

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Dimitar Danchev raised 1,300 in middle position and Anthony Ribeiro called on the button, followed by Robert Lofaso in the small blind, as well as the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠10♦9♦ and the action checked to Ribeiro who put out a bet of 4,000. Both Lofaso and Danchev called, while the big blind folded.

The 9♠ hit the turn and once checked to, Ribeiro fired another bet of 10,000. Lofaso wasted no time getting out of the way but Danchev took a bit longer before coming to the decision to call.

When the 7♣ completed the board, Danchev checked once again and Ribeiro pushed forward a bet of 12,000. Danchev went deep into thought for about a minute before making the call. Ribeiro tabled K♥J♠ for a flopped straight and Danchev mucked his hand.

Cool Guy Van Der Spuy

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up completed board of A♥9♣8♠A♣8♥, Jean-Pierre Van Der Spuy, fired for 13,000 into the pot of roughly 25,000.

The action was then on his opponent, who went into the tank for a good while.

While he was doing so, Van Der Spuy was looking as relaxed as possible, taking a sip from his drink, adjusting his sunglasses, and even reached up for a big stretch. It was at this point that his opponent made the call, but was then shown 10♣10♠ from van der Spuy for two pair and his opponent quickly mucked.

Graham Extends Chip Lead

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Andrew Graham, Hang Zheng and one more player were on the turn on a board that read 8♥2♥8♣9♦. There was already a big pot of 27,000 brewing and the action checked to Graham on the button. He put in 16,500 more chips and Zheng made the call from early position.

The other player was on the cutoff and took a while to think before eventually the clock was called on him. Near the end of the countdown, he mucked his cards and the 7♥ river was dealt.

Graham and Zheng subsequently checked quickly, with Zheng opening his A♠A♦ first. His rockets were not good enough, however, when Graham tabled A♦8♦ for flopped trips.

Another big pot was sent Graham's way and he is playing nearly six starting stacks in the final hour of Day 1b.

D'Ambrosio Bounced by Quads

Livello 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

"Woah!" was the first thing heard from Table 671 and it was coming from Jimmy D'Ambrosio himself which could mean a lot of things may be happening. But it was bad news for the chatty D'Ambrosio who was standing up from the table.

After a couple of preflop raises between himself and Todd Hovenden, all of the chips got in the middle with D'Ambrosio holding Q♣Q♦ against the A♠A♦ of Hovenden. The flop came A♥A♣2♦ and Hovenden flopped quad aces to leave D'Ambrosio drawing dead.

"It was great playing with all of you," D'Ambrosio greeted all of his tablemates as he exited the tournament area after failing to spin his stack all the way up.
