Lee Pays Java

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action folded around to Nipun Java who limped in from the small blind and Jimmy Lee checked his option from the big blind.

The {3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop was checked to the {q-Diamonds} turn where Lee check-called Java's 175,000 bet.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Lee checked his option once more to Java who fired out 375,000.

Lee just didn't believe Java and tossed out the chips for the call.

Java rolled over {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a pair of queens and that was good enough to scoop the pot.

Spinella and Martinez Chop One Up

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Raul Martinez moved all in for 1,500,000 on the button and Anthony Spinella re-jammed from the small blind. Nipun Java quickly folded his big blind and they flipped their cards over.

Anthony Spinella: {a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Raul Martinez: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Martinez was in good shape to double up and was still ahead after the {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop. The {5-Diamonds} turn changed nothing but the {j-Clubs} river put a second pair on the board and they chopped the pot.

Spinella Sends Martinez Deep Into the Tank

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After no initial raise preflop, Jimmy Lee, Raul Martinez and Anthony Spinella saw a {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop.

Action was checked to Spinella who fired out 150,000 from the big blind and was called by Martinz from the small blind after Lee folded on the button.

The {5-Diamonds} turn put three diamonds on the board and Martinez check-called Spinella's 350,000 bet to see the board pair on the river with the {7-Spades}.

Martinez checked his option once more and Spinella fired out 1,100,000 sending Martinez deep into the tank as the bet was over half his stack.

Once in the tank, Martinez spent roughly five-minutes before letting his hand go giving Spinella the pot.

Lee's Kicker is Good

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Nipun Java was first to act and raised to 225,000. Jimmy Lee called on the button and the blinds got out of the way. Both players checked the {4-Spades}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts} flop and they went to a turn card.

Java led for 375,000 on the {2-Hearts} turn card and Lee called. The {4-Clubs} completed the board and Java went into the tank after he checked and Lee bet 1,100,000. After a few minutes Java threw in one chip to make the call.

Jimmy Lee: {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

A frustrated Java flashed an {a-} and threw his hand into the muck.

Java Doubles Through Spinella to Level the Playing Field

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Nipun Java
Nipun Java

Anthony Spinella opened for 225,000 and Nipun Java three-bet jammed for 2,460,000 on the button. Action folded back to Spinella who called after spending a few minutes in the tank.

Nipun Java: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Anthony Spinella: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Java needed some help and received it on the {7-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop.

The {5-Diamonds} turn left Spinella drawing to three-outs at best and the {j-Clubs} river wasn't one of them as Java raked in the double-up.

Martinez Flushes Spinella for Double

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Raul Martinez
Raul Martinez

After Raul Marinez limped in from the small blind Anthony Spinella raised to 250,000 and Martinez quickly four-bet jammed, Spinella called.

Raul Martinez: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Anthony Spinella: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

Spinella connected on the {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} flop but it was far from over as Martinez picked up a broadway draw along with the nut-flush draw.

There wasn't much of a sweat after the dealer turned the {9-Spades} giving Martinez the nuts and he doubled up for 1,690,000 after the {a-Hearts} completed the board on the river.
