"I did not need to call that"

Level 13: 1,000 / 2,500 ante: 2,500

Nay Ye Linn calls a 5000 raise then next to act Benhur Ybarsabal tanks before he three-bet shoves his last 22,000. Initial raiser folds while Linn decides to make the call. When the cards turn up, Linn says disappointingly, "I did not need to call that" and is behind with unsuited connectors against Ybarsabal's pair also a blocker.


The board does not improve Linn to the best hand to pay Ybarsabal the double up.

Benhur Ybarsabal Has All The Ducks

Level 4: 200 / 500 ante: 500

Following a limper, small blind Seki Yuto raises to 2000, big blind Benhur Ybarsabal has 2ā™„ 2ā™£ and defends as the limper makes it a three-way.


When the flop runs Qā™„ 2ā™¦ 2ā™  , Ybarsabal lands quads and is the lone caller to Yuto's 2200 continuation bet. Both players then check the turn 4ā™„ but on the river Tā™  , Ybarsabal is done checking and slides out 7000. Yuto doesn't take the bait and Ybarsabal can't resist showing the quads.

Benhur Ybarsabal Sniffs Out The Bluff

Level 3: 200 / 400 ante: 400
Benhur Ybarsabal

When action folds to cutoff player Peter Ferrie, he limps in with 5ā™£ 3ā™¦ , small blind Benhur Ybarsabal joins with 5ā™„ Tā™„ , and they get to see the flop after the big blind checks.


The cards land 2ā™¦ Qā™„ Tā™  and the blinds immediately check to Ferrie who uses position to bet 1100. Ybarsabal spiked a pair and makes the calls while losing the big blind. Both players check the turn 2ā™  then more chips land on the river 7ā™¦ with Ferrie bluff-betting 2000. Ybarsabal wants to see and calls.


Ferrie shows the bluff and Ybarsabal scoops up the pot.
