Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Bob Mather
Bob Mather

Bob Mather raised to 800 from the cutoff and the button and both blinds came along.

The flop rolled out Q?8?6? and action checked over to Mather who bet 1,500 which only the button called.

On the turn K? Mather bet 2,000 and was called again with action checking through on the river Q?.

Mather turned over A?A? for aces up which was good for the pot as a tablemate commented "that's the third time you've had aces today."

"And I'm below starting stack," responded Mather "what does that say about me?"

Andre Akkari
Andre Akkari

Picking up the action on the river, the board was reading 4?5?9?7?K? when Alex Lynskey in the hijack bet 8,000 and was called by Kevin Rabichow in the cutoff. However Andre Akkari in the small blind check-raised all-in for 52,200. He made Lynskey fold, but Rabichow went deep into the tank.

"Action was check-raise on the flop and everybody checked the turn," a player at the table explained while Rabichow was trying to make a decision.

After approximately 5 minutes, Rabichow eventually decided to fold and Akkari discreetly revealed 3?3? for a very small flush.
