A player in early position opened to 450, and Rob Perelman three-bet to 1,225. A player with position on both cold-called, and the initial raiser came along for a three-handed flop.
It came , and the initial raiser checked. Perelman continued out with 1,225, and the player with position folded. The checker called, though, and the landed on fourth street. After a long pause, he checked again, and Perelman shoved for the ~5,400 effective chips his opponent had. Snap-call!
Perelman:
Opponent:
Oof! That was a fantastic turn card for Perelman, and the river gave him the knockout. He's up over 30,000 now.
Josh Brikis opened for 475, another player called and Alex Kambris shoved all in for 2,750. Brikis called and the other player folded. The hands were tabled and Brikis held and Kambris had .
The board ran and Kambris shipped up to 5,975 and Brikis slipped to 10,000.
Just before the break, we bid farewell to Bernard Lee.
Lee was all in for 4,100 before the flop with , and he was up against two opponents. The first had a racing , but the third player in the pot had and a hammer lock on the pot. The board ran out , though, and the player with ace-queen gets the pot. With it come the elimination of Bernard Lee, too.
A player from middle position opened for a raise and Paul Magriel was seated behind him. Magriel asked the raiser how much he had behind, which was roughly in the 15,000 - 20,000 range and clearly had Magriel covered twice over. Magriel moved all in for 6,700 and the raiser called.
Eddy Sabat opened to 450 from middle position, and he found action in one spot. The button three-bet him to 1,250, and Sabat called to see a flop. Sabat check-called 1,050 there, and he check-called another 2,250 on the turn. The river brought the , and Sabat checked one last time. His opponent moved all in with his covering stack, putting the decision on Sabat for all the chips. Sabat eventually called, and his opponent did not want to show.
Sabat tabled for second pair, and the words, "Good call," were music to his ears. He'll take the pot, and with it comes a double to about 37,000.
