Bicknell's Hand Declared Dead

[user340093]

Nível 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

With the action on the last street, big blind Kristen Bicknell faced roughly a pot-sized bet of 5,500 from a player in the lojack on the board reading .

Bicknell went into the tank. She looked into her opponent's face, and he hid it in his hands. Bicknell smiled.

"Sorry everybody," she apologized to the table for taking her time.

Then somebody called the clock.

Bicknell received 30 seconds plus a vocal 10-second countdown, but she couldn't come up with her decision anyway. The hand was killed.

"You would show a bluff, right?" Romain Lewis asked the winner of the pot.

"Maybe," he replied, smiling.

Akenhead Coolers Roberts

[user340093]

Nível 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

There was already about 20,000 in the pot with all five community cards face up. We don't know on which street went all the remaining money in, but the result was clear.

James Akenhead doubled through Lauren Roberts, holding against . The queen-high board brought no harm to Akenhead's bullets, and he had 8,775 behind. Roberts paid off the rest, giving Akenhead a big boost.

Nível 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Anatoly Filatov checked the turn from the small blind against the big blind on a board. His opponent checked back with a bloated pot of about 18,000 in front of the two. On the river, Filatov checked again. His opponent put in 17,000, enough to put Filatov at risk for his last 14,100. Filatov considered for a couple of minutes but decided on a fold.

Kakhmazov Makes an Agonizing Fold

[user340093]

Nível 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With a half of the Las Vegas summer poker season in the books, it's safe to say Nadar Kakhmazov has been one of the most successful players so far. Winning a big MSPT tournament in town, Kakhmazov topped it here at the Rio with a victory in the $5,000 No-Limit Hold'em 6-Handed, taking home his first bracelet.

With two major wins worth $1,000,000 combined, Kakhmazov's confidence must be reaching the pinnacle. It's been seen many times before; when players are on a heater, everything comes through. Their reads are sharp, as if they can see through opponents' cards.

But sometimes, even champions have to give up. What makes them different is that they know the right time to step back. Kakhmazov seems to follow the pattern of the greats, as he showed in the hand below.

Sitting in the cutoff, Kakhmazov bet 3,200 on the flop. Mike Sowers, however, woke up with a check-raise, making it 10,500. Kakhmazov thought about the situation and called.

The saw Sowers bet small, firing only 8,500.

Kakhmazov was agonized. He cut out calling chips and put them beside his remaining stack. He changed his position in the chair several times, then leaned back and forth. After about three minutes, he threw his cards into the muck.

"Good fold," Sowers said.

"Good fold?" asked Kakhmazov. "Jacks fold," he added.

Sowers didn't show anything, but Kakhmazov seemed to be happy after the chat they exchanged.
