Anderson Calls Calderaro's River Raise

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Thomas Anderson opened to 600 from under the gun, James Calderaro called behind him, the player on the button called and so did both the blinds. The flop came {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, the blinds checked, Anderson bet 800, Calderaro and the button called. The blinds released, the turn came {5-Clubs} and Anderson bet 1,000. Calderaro called, the player on the button called and the river came {5-Spades}.

Anderson bet 1,000, Calderaro raised to 4,600, the button mucked and Anderson thought for a few moments. He called, Calderaro rolled over {7-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Anderson took the pot after tabling pocket tens.

Aaron Massey
Aaron Massey

Aaron Massey opened to 300, one opponent called, the player on the button bumped it 900 and then the big blind called. Action gets back to Massey and he popped it to 3,000. The first caller mucked, the button played back and made it 5,700. The player in the big blind called, Massey called and the flop fell {8-}{6-}{2-}.

Action checked around, the turn comes {K-} and Massey bet 4,000. Both players called, the river came {6-} and the big blind shoved all in. Massey flatted, the button mucked {A-}{K-} face up, the big blind tabled {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for trips and Massey took the pot holding pocket kings for a full house.

James Calderaro May Have Somewhere Else To Be

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
James Calderaro
James Calderaro

Cards have been in the air for less than 30 minutes and we missed James Calderaro's entrance to the room. We just saw him shove preflop with around 5,000 holding {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and an opponent called him holding {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}.

The board ran {Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Calderaro doubled up to around 10,000. He either has a lunch date soon or is playing fast and loose.
