Webjoker

Nível 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From middle position, Jingwei Zhang opened to 110,000. Big blind Ihar Soika called.

The flop was , and Soika checked. Zhang bet 80,000, and Soika check-raised to 230,000. Zhang called in position.

The hit the turn, and Soika bet another 230,000. As casual as could be, Zhang raised to 650,000, seemingly grabbing the chips blindly to raise. He was very much aware of what he had raised, though; he clarified it was 650,000 as soon as Soika raised an eyebrow.

Soika called and checked on the river. Zhang, again casually, grabbed 600,000 and put them into the middle in one sweeping motion. Soika tanked for about four minutes before he called.

Zhang showed for a bluff gone wrong, and Soika took down the pot, tabling .

"Wow!" Neil Patel said. "Oh my lord!"

Yin Liu raised to 115,000 on the button, and Matthew Wakeman moved all in from the big blind. Liu pointed at the dealer to count the stack, and Wakeman instantly replied "It is 890,000." Liu counted his own stack, which was around 1.1 million, and took another minute before calling.

Monster Raising War Extends into Break

[user270022]

Nível 25 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

A player in early position opened to 125,000, sparking a raising war between Reed Hensel and Richard Gryko that left them as the only players in the whole room, as the rest of the players went off to break.

When action folded around to Hensel, he three-bet to 250,000. Sitting to Hensel's immediate left, Gryko cut out a re-raise and bumped it up again, making it 750,000 to go. The early-position player got out of the way, and Hensel five-bet jammed all in.

Gryko went into the tank, eventually asking for a count. As soon as the dealer confirmed a price of 2,940,000, Gryko folded.
