Blaž Žerjav wins Player of the Series at EMPC 2025
What a debut this was at JP Poker! The European Mixed Poker Championship brought everyone to Dublin — from part-time...
Around 14,000 was in the middle on a flop of 8h5c2h, in a hand between Tomas Geleziunas in early position and Kyle Rafferty in the big blind.
Rafferty checked to his opponent, who fired out a bet of 4,600. In response, Rafferty reached for chips and check-raised to 13,000. Geleziunas pondered the spot for a bit and three-bet to 27,000. Rafferty considered the position for a while, and four-bet jammed for around 115,000, covering Geleziunas, who made the snap-call.
Rafferty showed 5h4h for second pair fives with the flush draw, but Geleziunas had 2s2c for the set of deuces. Rafferty was looking for a heart to complete his flush, but the Kc turn and 9s river were bricks, sending a big pot to Geleziunas.
Tomas Geleziunas – 198,000 (99 bb)
Kyle Rafferty – 28,000 (14 bb)
