Zuraikat Surrenders Some of His Monster Stack to Bohdanov

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Ramzi Zuraikat raised preflop from the hijack and got calls from new entry Renat Bohdanov in the cutoff and Erik Borkvik in the big blind.

The 9♥5♦9♦ flop saw Zuraikat continue for 3,100 and Bohdanov call, while Borkvik check-folded. The 2♥ turn then emerged from the deck and Zuraikat kept up the pace with a bet of 6,000.

However, Bohdanov then raised to 14,500. Zuraikat thought for a bit before putting in the call. When the 7♥ river completed the board, both players checked. Zuraikat showed 10♥10♦ for an overpair, but Bohdanov had the best hand with J♠J♥ and raked in the pot.

Zamiska Has the One Hand Endara Doesn't Want to See

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Peter Zamiska and Juan Endara were heads-up on a board of A♥5♥10♠3♥ where Endara bet 7,000 from the cutoff.

Zamiska came back with a raise to 15,000 in middle position and Endara called to the 2♦ river. Zamiska then checked.

Endara bet 27,000 and Zamiska immediately announced he was all in. "Wow," Endara said as he tanked for a minute before calling for his last 60,000.

Zamiska then turned over K♥Q♥ for a flush. "That's the only hand I lose to," Endara said, showing J♥10♥ as he got up from his seat.

"King-nine or king-queen. One combo of each. And he never has king-nine. Not even one hand, one combo," a shell-shocked Endara said as he stood by the table for a few moments before making his exit.

Sitbon's Main Event Journey Ends Prematurely; Cho Breaks Down a Hand

Calum_Grant

Nível 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Julien Sitbon open-jammed for his last 7,900 from under the gun before Wooram Cho made it 15,000 on his direct left. The remaining players got out of the way, and the cards went on their backs.

Julien Sitbon: 10♠9♠
Wooram Cho: A♥7♣

Cho and Sitbon paired up on the A♦K♥9♥ flop but the Frenchman was still behind., The 6♦ turn and J♣ river confirmed Sitbon's exit. The Winamax Team Pro is unable to reenter as he also fired a bullet on Day 1a.

Cho explained to PokerNews how he's built such a big stack, which came at the expense of Sitbon.

A few hands prior, Sitbon opened to 1,000 from the hijack. Cho three-bet to 3,000 from the cutoff and Sitbon called.

The flop was Q♥6♥X♥, and Sitbon check-called for 3,000 and did the same on the 5♠ turn for 8,500.

The 6♣ completed the board, and Sitbon check-jammed as the slightly bigger stack after Cho sized up to 25,000. Cho said he thought it over for around two minutes before making the call.

Sitbon had A♥Qx for a pair of queens, but it was bested by Cho's K♥Kx. Cho explained that he made the call due to the fact that Sitbon was capable of making of move and having some bluffs with the nut-flush blocker. Cho also said that as he had the K♥, this made him want to call.
