Reinkemeier Eliminated

Rocco Busiello fired 3,000 on the {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Hearts} flop, and Tobias Reinkemeier called to see the {6-Diamonds} pair the board on the turn. Busiello slowed down with a check, and Reinkemeier bet 6,800. Busiello took a bit of time, then put in a raise to 12,500. The only problem was that Busiello had to raise to 13,600 minimum, so he had to adjust things. Reinkemeier called once the raise amount was fixed by the dealer.

The river completed the board with the {5-Hearts}, and Busiello moved all in for 20,900. Reinkemeier only had 16,200 behind, and he called to put himself at risk.

Busiello showed the {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for queens full of sixes. Reinkemeier showed the {9-Hearts}{6-Spades} for trip sixes, but was the loser in the hand and was sent to the rail.

Aguiar Flushes Out Flopped Straight

On a flop of {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} we found Jonathan Aguiar bet an unknown amount. He was called by Aristeidis Avgerinos who was his sole opponent in the hand. The {K-Hearts} turned and Aguiar checked. Averginos bet 2,200 and Aguiar called to see the river.

Fifth street was the {6-Spades} and Aguiar moved all in for around 10,000 in chips. Averginos called and Aguiar tabled {6-Spades}{4-Spades} for a rivered flush. An agitated Averginos showed {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades} for a flopped straight and was forced to ship most of his stack over to Aguiar.

Battle of the Ladies

Gaelle Baumann opened to 800 from early position and was called by Sam Cohen from the hijack as well as the player on the button. Both blinds folded their cards and the flop came down {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. Baumann led for 1,500 and Cohen stuck around. The button folded and the dealer put out the {2-Hearts} on fourth street. Both ladies checked and the {5-Spades} put a second pair on the board. Two hands tapped the table once more and Cohen showed {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}. Her ace-high prompted Baumann to muck and she took down the pot.

Got to be in it to Win it

Kevin MacPhee is playing a lot of pots as he tries hard to build a stack of note. He shoved on a {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board and got his opponent to muck.

The very next hand he called a raise in position and got an opponent to fold on a king high flop.

The very next hand after that he raised and the big blind defended before leading out for 1,500 on an {a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop. MacPhee called and then bet 3,600 when the action was checked to him on the {q-Diamonds} turn. Fold.

That's the way to nearly double your stack in three hands without showdown!

What Does Pagano Think of Johnny Lodden's Nuts?

Luca Pagano
Luca Pagano

With about 15,000 in the pot and a board reading {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Spades}, Luca Pagano checked and watched Johnny Lodden bet 8,800. "How much do you have left," Pagano asked.

"18,00," came the reply. Pagano then put out a stack of blue T5,000 chips for a big check-raise. Lodden quickly committed and the cards were turned up.

Showdown
Lodden: {9-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Pagano: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Pagano had picked a bad spot as Lodden held the nuts. Pagano needed a seven on the river just to chop, but unfortunately for him, it wasn't in the cards and he watched a big portion of his stack shipped to Lodden.
