Weizer Almost Convinces Engel

Level 12 : 700/1,400, 200 ante

From under the gun Ari Engel opened for 3,000, Joshua Weizer called from the button and the small blind called as well. The flop came {2-Spades} {A-Spades} {10-Hearts} and all three players checked. The turn brought the {7-Hearts} on board, the small blind checked and Engel bet 2,100. Weizer raised to 6,200, the small blind got out of the way and Engel made a thoughtful call.

The river paired the board with the {2-Diamonds} and Engel checked. Weizer bet 11,100 and Engel took some time to think. After a few moments Engel called and Weizer smiled as he tabled {5-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for a busted straight and flush draw. Engel tabled {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} for aces up and took the pot.

According to the table, on Barry Leventhal's last hand, he was all in and at risk with ace-king on an ace-high flop against an opponent with ace-ten. The turn was a ten, the river was a brick, and Leventhal proceeded to launch his cards in the air.

Gates Chips Up Through the Chipleader

Garry Gates up over the century mark.
Garry Gates up over the century mark.

Jeremy Halaska opened for 3,700, Joe "Black" Reddick called from the button and Garry Gates three-bet from the small blind to 11,000. Halaska and Reddick both called and the flop came {5-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. Gates led out with 15,000 and Halaska tossed out six grey T5,000 chips for a raise, but didn't verbally declare anything. Reddick folded and action was back on Gates.

Here's where things get a little screwy.

Gates had just over 20,000 behind and tossed one over-sized chip in the middle thinking Halaska had raised enough to put him all in. Gates exposed his hand - {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} - and Halaska turned his cards face up as well - {8-Spades} {7-Spades}.

Both players and the dealer thought that Gates was all in and the dealer dealt out the turn and river without counting the stacks. The board completed with {Q-Spades} {K-Hearts} and then it was realized that Gates had more than 30,000 in font of him.

The floor was called and since nothing was verbalized, the dealer didn't count the stacks and the turn and river were already dealt the floorman ruled that Halaska was only responsible for the 30,000.

After the hand Gates is up over 100,000.
