Berkey Over Ladouceur

[user340093]

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Three ways to the turn, Marc-Andre Ladouceur bet 6,500 from the small blind. Cutoff Matt Berkey was next to act, and he paused for a moment before raising to 17,500. Berkey's left-hand opponent still looked to be interested in capturing the pot, but eventually laid it down.

Ladouceur was also tempted, asking the dealer about the size of the raise. Berkey remained stoic, and Ladouceur let his hand go.

Kakhmazov Dispatched

[user340093]

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Down to last 1,325, Nadar Kakhmazov shoved from the button over a raise to 1,000 from a player in the hijack. Nobody else joined the contest, and Kakhmazov's opponent threw in one more chip, calling.

Nadar Kakhmazov:
Opponent:

Kakhmazov saw he was a favorite and looked to his left-hand neighbor: "Good, bro," he shouted in excitement.

Both players caught a piece on the flop, with Kakhmazov drawing for a flush, trying to avoid his opponents' open-ender. The turn was safe for the Russian bracelet winner, but the river ended Kakhmazov's chances at taking down another $5,000 event here at the 2017 WSOP.

He offered, "Good luck," to the table before leaving the tournament room.

Ho Strikes Back, Hurts Engel With Aces

[user340093]

Nível 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Maria Ho fold to Ari Engel's river raise during the last level, and Ho just got her sweet revenge.

They swapped roles this time, with Engel betting 4,000 into a pot of about 5,000 chips on the river of the board.

Ho was in the cutoff, and she raised to 13,000.

"Fours," Engel whispered among other thoughts he had when guessing Ho's hand. She remained silent.

Dani Stern eventually called the clock on Engel, and the floorperson gave him 30 seconds. Engel needed about a third of that, throwing in the calling chips.

Ho turned up for aces full, raking in the sizable pot.
