Roesel Bounces Back

Thing weren't looking up for Dale Roesel after he just lost a big pot to Jeff Fielder, but he's bounced back with a double.

In the very next hand after losing to Fielder, action folded to Roesel in the small blind and he raised to 125,000. Cliff Stewart was in the big blind and pushed back with a three-bet to the tune of 360,000, and Roesel moved all in for 1.06 million. Stewart, who has a striking resemblance to Phil Ivey, leaned back in his chair, counted out his chips, and then made the call.

Roesel: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Stewart: {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}

It was a great time for Roesel to pick up aces as it appeared he may have been steaming from the previous hand. Whatever the case, the aces held as the board ran out {4-Spades}{K-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Roesel doubled through Stewart.

Roesel in the Danger Zone

Jeff Fielder opened for 125,000 from early position and received a call from Paul Phillips in the cutoff. Dale Roesel came along from the big blind, and it was three-way action to the {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} flop.

Roesel checked, Fielder bet 210,000, Phillips folded, and Roesel called, which brought about the {2-Hearts} turn. Roesel proceeded to check-call a bet of 210,000, and then check-called a bet of 450,000 on the {8-Spades} river.

Fielder tabled {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} and Roesel instantly flicked his cards to the muck.

Kirby's Kings

Bryan Campanello opened to 120,000 from the hijack seat, Matt Kirby called on his direct left, and the rest of the players folded. The flop fell {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, and Campanello led out for 110,000. Kirby raised to 280,000, and Campanello called.

The {8-Hearts} turned, and Campanello slowed down, checking to Kirby. Kirby quickly reached for chips, then fired 425,000. Campanello tanked for 30 seconds or so, then announced that he was all in. Kirby snapped it off, calling the 1.615 million-chip bet.

Kirby: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Campanello: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

Campanello was drawing dead, and a meaningless {q-Diamonds} completed the board. Kirby doubled to over four million chips, while Campanello dropped down to around 1.605 million.

"Big Blind Special"

Dale Roesel opened to 125,000, Krissi McFarland defended from the big blind, and the dealer fanned {6-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}. McFarland checked, Roesel continued for 170,000, and McFarland check-raised to 670,000.

Roesel took his headphones off, and they tumbled to the ground, making a very loud thud.

"Five-hundred more?" he said, perplexed. "And you have about nine behind?"

She moved her arm to show that she had around one million chips behind.

"Alright," Roesel finally said. "I fold."

He threw his cards away, and McFarland pulled in the pot.

"Big blind special," she said with a grin.

Ilich not only called that bet, he called a bet of 140,000 on the {9-Clubs} turn as well. Both players then checked the {7-Diamonds} river.

"I play the board." Roesel admitted and flashed {2-Hearts}{4-Hearts}. Ilich then tabled {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades} to take down the pot.

Stewart Spikes a Queen; Doubles

Cliff Stewart opened to 110,000 from the hijack seat, and Bryan Campanello three-bet to 250,000 from the small blind. Stewart tanked for less than a minute before four-bet shoving for 945,000, and Campanello instantly called.

Stewart: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Campanello: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Stewart was in bad shape, but the flop fell {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, giving him a leading pair of queens. The turn brought the {5-Spades}, giving Campanello chop outs.

"Will you take a chop right now?" Dale Roesel asked Campanello.

"Yes," Campanello chuckled. "Chop is good."

The pot was not chopped, because the {2-Hearts} fell on the river. Stewart doubled to 1.985 million chips, while Campanello slipped to 3.36 million.
