HomeWithin the first half hour of the Main Event a player was already sent to the rail. On a turn board of 3♣ 6♠ 6♥ 7♦, Andrei Dementev bet 4k and was called by the player next to him. They went on to see the river card of 4♠ and Dementev moved all in. He was called and when the cards were revealed, Dementev had 3♣ 3♠ for a full house while the other had K♠ 3♦ for trips. Dementev won the pot and left the player stunned at his loss.
Jerwin Pasco just earned himself a nice pot in a hand that we caught on on the river. The board showed K♣ 8♣ 3♣ A♠ 7♥ and the pot was already at 6k. Pasco bet 4650 and he was check-called by the only other player in the hand with him. Pasco showed his 7♣ 4♣ flush and scooped the pot.
Taking down a nice early pot is always good for the bankroll especially when you have the starting nuts. Ahn Seong Hwan looked down at a pair of aces and watched as the action at his table kicked off with a raise to 250 by the hijack player, called by Seung Soo Jeon, then on his big blind, Hwan three-bet to 2050. The initial raiser called while Jeon folded. At the flop of 6♠ 7♣ K♥, Hwan led out for 5k and was called. At the turn of 10♠, he decided to shove and this time he wasn’t called. Hwan showed his A♠ A♣.
