Emad Aghasi opened to 500 from the cutoff, and received calls from Tadeuz Gogolka on the button and Shane O’Reilly in the small blind.
The Tc4c4d flop is checked through. On the Kh turn, action was checked to Aghasi, who fired out a bet of 1,200, which only Gogolka called.
The 5h heart river completed the board, and Aghasi check-folded versus a slight overbet bet of 5,000 from Gogolka.
Taduez Gogloka – 55,000 (275 bb)
Emad Aghasi – 65,000 (325 bb)
Chris Rourke opened to 500 and Vaeceslav Jumir defended the big blind.
The 6d2s2c flop and Ad turn are checked through. On the Qh river, Jumir leads out with a bet of 600, and is faced with a prompt raise to 3,000 by Rourke, with Jumir making the quick call.
Jumir is shown the bad news when Rourke flips over 2h2d for flopped quad deuces, and Rourke rakes in another pot.
Chris Rourke – 65,000 (302 bb)
Vaeceslav Jumir – 48,000 (240 bb)
On a board of Tc2hTh3c, with around 5,000 in the middle, Chris Rourke checked to Kryzsztof Gogloka, who fired out a bet of 1,500. Veaceslav Jumir called on the button, as does Rourke.
The 8s river completed the board, and action is checked to Jumir. He fired out a bet of 4,000, with Rourke making a quick call. Gogolka takes some time to think but disposes of his hand.
Jumir confidently tabled 9d9h for two pair, tens and nines, but Rourke had KsTh for trip tens, and he scooped a decent early pot.
