Three Streets Of Heat From Rozhynskyi

Three players saw the flop for 700 apiece, with Erik Rozhynskyi kicking off the action. The flop came T♠ 3♣ 5♣, and it quickly narrowed to heads-up as Igor Vakhnenko called a 1,400 c-bet, while Craig Jones stepped aside.
On the 6♠ turn, Rozhynskyi ramped up the pressure with a 6,500 bet, and Vakhnenko stayed in to see the river. The final card 3♦ arrived, and Rozhynskyi went for the jugular, unloading 23,000 into the pot. The aggression paid off as Vakhnenko gave it up, awarding Rozhynskyi a well-earned pot.

Tom Eady On The Grind
Tom Eady picks up a couple of pots to slowly make his way to starting stack. On the first hand, players fold around to him on the button, Eady has A♣ 5♣ and boost the bet to 700. Big blind Maxim Sorokin defends then both players check the flop A♥ 9♦ 2♣ . When the turn comes 2♠ , Eady tosses in a light 600 that's called, and another 1000 bet on the river K♣ that's called once more. Eady flips open his cards and proceeds to claim the pot.
A few hands after, Eady three-bets from middle position and Igor Vakhnenko defends his raise. At the flop 9♥ J♣ K♠ , Eady continues for 5000 and it's enough to drag in the pot.

Short Stacked Craig Jones Wins The Flip

Ronald Lane has A♣ K♣ and as first-to-act, he makes it 500 that finds a call from Igor Vahknenko down the orbit. Action now moves to the small blind Craig Jones and with just 3000 left he goes all in with 7♦ 7♠ . This gets a quick call from Lane while Vahknenko gets out of the firing line.
After the cards are shown, it's a fifty-fifty that goes Jones's way on a running board 4♦ Q♦ Q♠ 9♣ T♠ .

Vakhnenko's Third Pair Gets The Job Done

Igor Vakhnenko limped in with Q♣ T♣ then called a raise of 1500 from button Craig Jones. At the flop 7♦ K♣ A♣ , Vahknenko lands a straight flush draw and can't resist check-calling a c-bet of 1700. When the turn comes T♠ , Jones barrels again for 3500 and Vahknenko wants to see if his draw will connect on the river to check-call. The board completes 4♦ . Both players check. Vahknenko misses but has third pair which is surprisingly good for the pot.
