Turner Hooks One

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Josh "JT" Turner
Josh "JT" Turner

Two players checked to JT Turner on a {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, and he bet 2,500 from the button into a pot of about 3,400. Only an opponent in the hijack called, and both players checked the {9-Spades}. The hijack bet another 2,500 on the {3-Spades} river, and Turner beat him into the pot. The hijack turned over {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, but it was no good as Turner held {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}.

Turner is coming off of a recent win at WSOPC St. Louis, where he took down the main event for $136,945. He fired in Day 1a but bricked, skipping Day 1b.

Wosk Collects a River Shove

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

On a board of {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, a player in the blinds checked to Lee Wosk, who bet 4,000. Wosk's opponent called, and the {10-Hearts} river prompted the first player to jam for about 21,000.

"Really?" Wosk said. "Alright, I'll give it to you."

He quickly called, and his opponent showed {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} for a straight. That wasn't enough to beat Wosk's {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, good for a flush.

Boudreau Folds to a Check-Raise

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Three players checked to Kevin Boudreau, who bet 3,000 on a {k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. A player in early position called, as did the hijack. Two more checks on the {a-Spades}, and Boudreau fired 7,000 this time. The early player woke up with a raise to 17,000, and Boudreau quickly followed the other player into the muck.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.

Yazdi Avoids the Check-Raise

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Reza Yazdi
Reza Yazdi

Reza Yazdi made it 2,500 to go from the button on a {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop and was called by a player under the gun. A player who had already put in 1,000 in the hijack, folded, leaving it heads up on the {j-Spades} turn. The first player check-called 3,000, and an {8-Hearts} completed a scary board. The first player thought for a minute and looked like he might shove all in but checked.

"How many red chips you have?" Yazdi asked. The player had two T5,000s in his stack of about 13,000 total. Yazdi opted to check, and his opponent showed {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}, disappointed Yazdi didn't bet. Yazdi showed {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for the nut straight.

Zedo Bluffs Off a Chunk

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Corey Zedo put in 1,800 from the big blind against a single opponent, and he check-called 2,300 on a {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop. Both players checked the {8-Diamonds} turn, and Zedo came out with 5,500 on the {4-Clubs} river. His opponent quickly called.

"Just one pair," Zedo said, seeing his opponent show {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a flopped set.

Despite the setback, Zedo is well above the starting stack early on.

Boudreau Busted

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Kevin "Phwap" Boudreau recently busted out. As Jason Vanstrom told it, his fellow November 2014 final table participant got it in for his last 10,500 preflop with {9-}{9-}, the same hand he lost the most crucial pot last year with. This time, he only had a very slight equity edge as his opponent had {a-}{q-}. The flop came {q-}{5-}{5-}, and that was all she wrote for Boudreau, who looks to have opted against reentering. We'll keep an eye out in case that changes.
