Another Orbit of Counts

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Bluff of the Tournament from Lacoste

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Mark Lacoste
Mark Lacoste

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Mark Lacoste in the small blind and Samy Dubonnet from early position, but the action was recounted to PokerNews by the table.

Dubonnet had opened second-to-act and Lacoste flatted in the small blind.

On the Q103 flop, Lacoste led out with a bet and Dubonnet called.

Lacoste led again on the 5 turn and Dubonnet called once more.

There was 455,000 in the middle as the two saw the 2 river. This time, Lacoste checked it over to Dubonnet who bet 375,000. Lacoste responded with a check-jam for 1,175,000 effective as the covering stack, sending Dubonnet deep into the tank.

Several minutes would pass before Dubonnet conceded the pot. As the pot was pushed towards Lacoste, he kept a straight face as he tossed QJ into the middle, turning his pair of queens with a spade blocker into a bluff.

The table fell silent as they witnessed one of the largest pots of the tournament as Lacoste's fearlessness was rewarded.

Heads-up on a completed board of K9525, Martin Zamani bet 30,000 from the big blind and Shreesh Hebbar raised from the hijack to put Zamani all in for his last 125,000.

Zamani went deep into the tank and let out a few giggles before deciding to fold.

"Please show me a bluff. Please!" Zamani pleaded to Hebbar, who began to move his cards toward the muck.

"I will pay you $100 right now to see!"

Hebbar paused and then showed A10 for the nuts after Zamani pulled out a Benjamin.

"Thank you! I had the jack of clubs," Zamani said.

Live On the Ocho, It's Table #217

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

A player at Table #217 had his camera crew filming the table as Allan Sannier raised to 30,000 in early position. "They're live-streaming this table on The Ocho," Alex James joked.

Asi Moshe then three-bet to 100,000 in middle position, and Tianle Wang four-bet to 205,000 on the button. Only Moshe called.

The flop came 9J6 and Wang continued for 145,000. Moshe quickly folded, and Wang took down the pot.

Updated Counts in Paris Black

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds to the A9410Q river with around 160,000 in the middle, Ben Ramon bet 500,000. Thomas Cannuli was deep in the tank and ultimately called for the 360,000 he had behind. Ramon tabled his K4 and Cannuli doubled with A7.

One table over, Gregory Goldberg raised the button to 30,000. Chris Hunichen three-bet to 120,000 and Karanvir Singh four-bet jammed for more than 1,100,000. Goldberg quickly folded while Hunichen was taken aback. "That's a big jam," Hunichen said before he folded.

Singh looked at the live reporting team and said, "ace-king."
