Elias Folds to Six-Bet

Nível 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

The details of this hand were related to PokerNews by a player at the table.

Darren Elias opened to 600 on the button and was three-bet by Joe Schulman out of the small blind. The big blind then four-bet to 3,500 and Elias responded by five-betting to 8,000. In a scene reminiscent of the poker boom, Schulman six-bet to 23,600 and the big blind folded.

Elias seemed utterly perplexed by the crazy amount of action and, after thinking for several minutes, made what one can only assume was a big laydown.

Three-Way Flush Draw Makes For Big Pot

Nível 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player in early position opened to 800 and received calls from Hossein Ensan in late position, Raj Ramakrishnan from the cutoff and David Stamm on the button as well as both blinds.

Action checked to the early position player on a flop of and he continued for 2,000. Ensan folded while Ramakrishnan called. Stamm then shoved for around 13,000, which got the blinds to fold. The early position player then re-jammed with the larger stack and Ramakrishnan called off for his tournament life.

David Stamm:
Raj Ramakrishnan:
Early Position Player:

In a wildly improbable turn of events, all three players had flopped flush draws, with Ramakrishnan holding the best draw while Stamm had the opportunity to make a straight flush as well as being ahead with a pair of eights. The early position player, meanwhile, had an open ended straight draw, which was effectively his only hope of winning the pot.

With all three players blocking each other's draws, it was little surprise that no further clubs found their way onto the felt on the turn or river. Remarkably, Stamm got a full triple-up with queens and eights while Ramakrishnan scooped a significant sidepot with king high, leaving the early position player short.
