Konstantin Pogodin

Christopher Bolio was peaking at the final table after doubling up through Joseph Hebert but some of the chips he won are now in the stack of Konstantin Pogodin.

Bolio opened to 125,000 in the cutoff and Pogodin shoved for 525,000 from the small blind. Bolio called with A♠2♦ and was in good shape to chop against the A♦3♦ of Pogodin. A three on the flop put Pogodin firmly in the lead and he held through the last two streets to double.

Bolio falls back to 1,700,000 and Pogodin is over 1,100,000 as the blinds get set to go up.

Michael Bennington limped in early position and Bolio raised to 150,000 in the small blind. Hebert raised our of the big blind to 500,000 and once Bennington folded, Bolio shoved for about 400,000 more. Hebert called with A♣Q♣ and was facing the A♦A♠ of Bolio.

The K♠J♦2♦8♣9♠ board worked for Bolio and he now ists with just under 2,000,000. Hebert takes a hit back to 1,650,000.

Matthew Green

In one hand to start the Event 91 final table, Matthew Green was eliminated and Travis Lauson took the chip lead.

On a flop of 9♦7♠6♥ and with about 400,000 in the middle, Lauson bet 125,000 from the hijack. Green shoved for close to 1,000,000 out of the small blind and Lauson was right there with a call. Lauson’s 8♦8♠ held a lead over the A♥8♣ of Green and despite having an over card and chop outs, Green missed on the 7♣ turn followed by the K♠ river to be eliminated.

Lauson is the only player over 3,000,000 at the final table and is playing exactly 3,150,000.

Twice this level, Emrah Cakmak has put himself at risk against Sasha Liu and twice, Cakmak has been rewarded by picking up much-needed pots.

Liu raised the button to 90,000 and Cakmak three-bet to 270,000. Liu called and the flop came out 6♦6♠2♣. Cakmak potted it and Liu quickly let her hand ago.

Cakmak then limped in and Liu raised to 65,000. Cakmak called and the flop came out A♥7♦6♦. Liu checked and Cakmak bet the pot. Once again, Liu folded and Cakmak took in the pot.

He is back up to 800,000 and gaining traction on Liu with about 10 minutes left before the blinds go up again.

Since being knocked down by Sasha Liu to 250,000, Emrah Cakmak has climbed his way back up to 400,000 with the blinds now up. The two players have been trading small pots back and forth with neither giving much away easily. Given that the blinds are now one step higher, Cakmak could be one hand away from doubling up or by the same token, one hand from being eliminated. What will happen next remains to be seen as Event 90 rolls on.
