Bain's Beans Double in Size

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Bain has earned a quick double up but is still short.

The cut-off raised to 800 and Bain announced “all of the beans” and slammed his 1,400 stack into the middle of the table.

The blinds got out of the way and the raiser made the call. Bain showed {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and amazingly had his opponent dominated who held the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. The board ran out {K-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} and jack high was good enough for Bain to double to just under 4,000.

Benny's Ace-High Enough

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Team PokerStars Online Roy Bhasin opened to 700 from under the gun plus one, the player two spots to his left made the call, while Ben Richard, from the button, also came along for the ride.

On the {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, it was checked to Richardson who bet 1,500. Bhasin folded and the other player called as the dealer would turn over a {3-Spades}. This time when it was checked, Richardson led for 3,300 and his opponent made a very quick call.

The {9-Diamonds} river would see both players check.

At showdown, Richardson's opponent turned over {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a missed flush draw, while Richardsoon took it down with {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for ace high.

More Bain Bean Stories

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Tristan Bain is on the comeback with another double.

This time there was a limper from the under-the-gun position and it folded around to Bain in the cutoff position. He pushed his stack into the middle as his rail chanted “beans, beans, beans.”

The blinds folded and after a bit of thought the limper made the 3,500 call and Bain’s tournament was again at risk.
The limper held the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Bain showed {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts}.

The flop fell {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} putting Bain in the lead. The turn {6-Hearts} gave his opponent more outs but the brick {2-Spades} on the river ensured Bain would double to 8,500 chips.

Bain then turned to his rail and said “sorry boys, you’re going to have to keep waiting. I am on the comeback.”

Addamo Falling

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Michael Addamo’s struggles continue as he is down to 8,000 after losing a pot to an all-in player.

The action started with a limp from middle position before next to act raised to 700. Addamo was on the button and made the call and the action folded to the limper who also made the call. The flop fell {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and the preflop limper immediately shoved his last 3,500 into the pot. The raiser folded leaving Addamo to make the decision, he screwed his face as he made the call and turned over the {Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a flush draw and his opponent had the {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for middle pair. The at-risk player had to fade any club, queen or nine to survive and earn the double.

The board ran {3-Diamonds}-{K-Hearts} and it was no help to Addamo as he had to watch his opponent rake in the pot.

Young Half of His Peak

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Rory Young has lost half of his stack in a hand that had a player at risk.

The action started with a player limping from middle position. Young raised to 1,600 from the cutoff position and he was met by a three bet to 4,200 from the small blind. The big blind and limper got out of the way and Young made the call. The flop came {4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the small blind bet out 5,500. Young put out 5,500 and saw the turn card of the {9-Clubs}. The small blind checked and Young stared at his opponent for a few moments before announcing he was all in. His opponent sighed and called his last 15,300 and turned over the {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. He was the player at risk but was ahead of Young who showed the {A-Spades}{J-Clubs} for an open ender. The {8-Diamonds} on the river was no help for Young who is now down to just over 25,000.

Bhasin's Stack Falling

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

Team PokerStars Online Roy Bhasin has fallen to just over 10,000 in chips.

Bhasin played out a hand against one opponent, going to the turn of a {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. It was clearly a three-bet pot and we arrived to find Bhasin's opponent check-raising to 3,200 on the flop after Bhasin had led for 1,500. Bhasin quickly called the bet before he was faced with a bet of 5,000 on the turn. This time Bhasin took his time and ultimately folded.
