Moreno Caught with the Ol' Limp-Reraise All In

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

A player in early position limped in and then Andrew Moreno raised to 2,300 from the hijack seat. The cutoff seat flat-called before action folded back over to the early-position limper. He reraised all in for 14,600 total. Moreno re-jammed behind him and that sent the cutoff's cards into the muck.

Moreno: {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The flop, turn and river ran out {K-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{A-Spades} to give Moreno's opponent a full house. Moreno was kicked back to 14,500 in chips, which is about 18 big blinds.

Gates Raised Off on Flop

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

From early position, Garry Gates raised to 1,800. Lisa Parsons called from the next seat and then action folded to the player on the button, Michael Taylor. He made the call and the big blind also came along to see a flop.

The flop came down {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} with the big blind checking in the dark. Gates bet 3,800 and Parsons folded. Taylor raised to 9,000 and that knocked the big blind out of the way. Gates thought for a little bit and then gave it up, dropping back to 34,000 in chips.

With about 10,000 chips in the middle, the final board read {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Spades}{J-Hearts}{K-Hearts}. Andrew Moreno bet 6,200 with a verbal declaration. His opponent quickly tossed his hand away and Moreno showed the {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for just ace high. He was sure to ask his opponent if he was bluffing with the best hand, but the player didn't even realize Moreno had shown his hand. At any rate, Moreno is sitting on about 34,000 in chips now.

Honey, I'm Steaming, Honey

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

"Honey. I'm steaming, honey," Phil Hellmuth spoke to his wife on the phone. "Hang on, I gotta hold for a second." Hellmuth had to set his phone down to play a hand, but he returned to his conversation just a moment later.

"Honey, I'm steaming." After a pause, he continued, "Because I just folded ace-eight, and these guys are playing ace-six and ten-deuce. I flopped three people drawing dead there."

Hellmuth has about 18,200 chips left. And he's steaming, honey.

Thinning the Field

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

We picked up the action on the flop in a five-way limped pot. The dealer put {8-Spades} {5-Clubs} {J-Clubs} out on the felt, and the whole table checked to Steve Nixon. He bet 1,200 into a pot of more than 3,000, and this time only three players called, including Gavin Griffin.

We were down to four players as the turn card came the {J-Spades}, and everyone checked to Nixon again. He put out 2,000, and that folded Griffin and one other player, getting Nixon heads up to the river.

It was the {K-Hearts}, and the leading player knocked the table one last time. Nixon fired 6,000 as his final bet, and he finally shook the last player off his hand as his opponent eventually uncapped his cards and slid them into the muck.

Nixon is up to about 75,000 now.
