Schreiber Calls Down Tasaka

Dan Schreiber
Dan Schreiber
Yoshihiro Tasaka and Dan Schreiber have just gone to war in an interesting pot. They both saw a flop of {4-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} where Tasaka led out for 15,000. Schreiber made the call.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and again Tasaka decided 15,000 was the right amount for his bet. Schreiber again made the call.

The river landed the {6-Clubs} and Tasaka counted out the magical number of 15,000 and splashed them into the pot defiantly. Schreiber shrugged his shoulders and made the cheap call.

Tasaka paused but Schreiber waited for him to reveal his cards. Tasaka flipped {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for just ace-high as Schreiber revealed {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for the best hand. Tasaka slips to 220,000 while Schreiber is now looking dangerous as he sets himself for back-to-back APPT Seoul final tables with around 240,000 chips.

Stayin' Alive

Wooka Kim is not (yet) going to be our final table bubble babe. She moved all in after Sam Faqiryar raised from under the gun to 9,000. Faqiryar shrugged and called, showing {A-Diamonds} {3-Hearts}. He was up against Kim's {K-Clubs} {K-Hearts}, but never got his magic ace on a board of {j-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Spades} {6-Spades} {10-Spades}. Kim doubled to 50,000, preventing the final table from being set.

Shiono Gets One Back

Sam Faqiryar and Hidenari Shiono has clashed again. This time the flop was {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} when Faqiryar checked to Shiono who fired out 15,000 from the button. Faqiryar made the call.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Faqiryar this time led out for 15,000 from early position and Shiono made a quick call.

The river landed the {9-Spades} and both players checked it down.

Faqiryar flipped {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for a missed straight draw as Shiono's {A-Clubs}{3-Spades} was good!

Kang Extends Lead

On a flop of {q-Spades}{K-Spades}{9-Spades} Brian Kang led out with a bet of 3,500 from the small blind, before David Horvath announced a reraise of an additional 10,000. Kang deliberated before declared yet another raise, this time for an additional 20,000.

Horvath sighed and decided to let his hand go as the stack size of our chip leader continues to balloon all over the table! Kang is now up to 460,000 with Horvath back to 80,000.

Faqiryar Runs Big Bluff

Sam Faqiryar and Hidenari Shiono took an innocent looking flop of {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} but this is when the fireworks started!

Faqiryar led out for 12,500, before Shiono popped it up to 25,000. Faqiryar thought for several moments before announcing another raise, this time for an additional 20,000. Shiono squeezed his cards once more before tossing them into the muck.

Faqiryar proudly slammed {3-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} onto the table for a stone cold bluff!
