Boat Over Boat Over Boat

Brett Slezak

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The action of the hand was kindly recounted to PokerNews by Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan after a massive altercation took place at his table.

A large pot was brewing three-ways between Maximilian Hennig, Michael Petrosian, and Ricardo Cermeno

With the completed board reading K♥6♥3♠2x2♥, Cermeno bet 12,000 on the river before Hennig moved all in for 39,000. Petrosian opted to fold after a long tank, and Cermeno called.

Hennig turned over 6x6x for a full house, but it was no good against the KxKx of Cermeno who had top boat. Petrosian was able to recover his hand to show that he folded 3x3x for another full house as he made, "the fold of the tournament," according to Jargalsaikhan.

All three players flopped a set and filled up on the river in an incredible setup.

Christopher Da Silva raised to 900 on the button. Craig Jones called from the big blind.

The flop hit K♥8♠J♦, bringing a continuation bet of 1,000 from Da Silva and a check-call from Jones.

On the A♠ turn, Jones followed with another check-call, this time for 3,100.

When the 10♣ fell on the river, Jones fired first with a bet of 13,000.

Da Silva studied intently for some time, staring at the board and his stack, before finally pushing all 30,100 into the middle. Jones quickly called the all-in.

Christopher Da Silva: A♦Q♥ All in
Craig Jones: K♠Q♠

Both players had ace-high straights made on the river, so no damage was done.

Big blind Kwun Fung and button Max Neugebauer were heads-up to a river, with the former checking over to the latter.

On the 3♥Q♦2♣A♦K♦ board, Neugebauer threw out a pot-sized bet of 8,000, sending Fung into the tank. After a short tank, he found the call, as his top pair with A♣7♣ was good against the European Champ's J♠8♠.

Laura Fryer

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jacob Nielsen opened to 1,000 from middle position and Neal Berger called from the button.

The 4♦6♦2♠ flop saw Nielsen bet 1,600, Berger raise to 3,500, and Nielsen jam and cover Berger's remaining stack of approximately 45,000. Berger sat on the decision for a little while.

He flashed his 6♥2♥ for two pair to the table before handing the pot to Nielsen and putting his cards back face down into the muck.

He was told, "good fold," by another player at the table but Nielsen never revealed his hold cards.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Julian Menhardt opened to 900 from middle position and Kane Kalas defended his big blind.

Kalas check-called an 800 bet from Menhardt on the 5♥8♠J♣ flop, but check-folded after a bit of a tank facing a 5,000 bet from Menhardt on the J♠ turn.

A couple of tables down, Jimmy D'Ambrosio has been enjoying a very produtive first few levels and is already up to 172,000 — putting him among the chip leaders early on in Day 1d.
