"ratedGTO" Earns a Dub

BrandonTemple

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bjorn Peterson raised to 22,000 from the hijack, and Ricky Guan three-bet to 93,000, leaving himself 5,000 behind.

"Is it less than a hundred?" Peterson asked, and then called after being told the amount, tabling as he did. He didn't see Guan's remaining 5,000 behind, and Peterson pulled his hand back.

The flop was checked by both players, and Peterson checked the turn. Guan bet his last 5,000, and Peterson called. Guan tabled for Broadway, and Peterson couldn't pull the chop on the river, sending a double to Guan.

Eldar Celebrates the Win

GeoffFisk

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Alon Eldar opened to 20,000 on the button, Joe Brandenburg three-bet to 55,000 on the small blind, Eldat four-bet all in for the rest of his 196,000 stack, and Brandenburg snap called.

Alon Eldar:
Joe Brandenburg:

Eldar was in bad shape preflop, but then flop helped both players, coming in . Brandenburg had top set, but the backdoor flush draw came in for Eldar.

"Come on flush, come on flush, YEAH!" were the next words out of Eldar's mouth, and he got up and ran across the room in celebration. That reaction came as a result of a turn and river, bringing in the flush Eldar was looking for.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alon Eldar	417,000 127,000	127,000
Joe Brandenburg	246,000 -208,000	-208,000

There was already a pot of nearly 400,000 built up between Alex Conatser in the hijack and Tyler Burke in the big blind, and the board was already on the felt. Burke checked, and Conatser bet 275,000.

"Thought it was the best turn card...might have been the worst turn card." Burke said, taking count of his 425,000 chip stack as he tanked.

Two minutes ticked by before Burke said, "I call."

"I have the nuts," Conatser said, showing his . Burke nodded and flashed before mucking.
