We missed the preflop action, but we are being told a player opened from the cutoff, the player in the small blind shoved, and Matt Affleck re-shoved all-in from the big, prompting a fold from the original raiser.

Affleck: {A-} {K-}
Opponent: {A-} {10-}

The board ran out {K-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {4-Spades} , sending Affleck's opponent to the rail and chipping Affleck up to 27,500.

Busquet Gets Value Bet Thin

Dan O'Hair

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Olivier Busquet opened for 700 from the cutoff and was called by the big.

Both players checked the {6-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {2-Spades} flop.

When the {4-Clubs} turn came, Busquet's opponent bet 1,000 and Busquet called.

The big blind player fired again on the {5-Diamonds} river - this time for 1,800. Busquet quickly called.

"Deuce," Busquet's opponent said, tabling the {A-Hearts} {2-Hearts} . Busquet mucked.

Busquet is currently sitting with 21,000.

Marchese Straightens Out Opponent

Dan O'Hair

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With the board reading {6-Hearts} {10-Spades} {2-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} and roughly 4,000 in the pot, Tom Marchese was faced with a bet of 2,300 from his lone opponent.

Marchese upped the ante by raising the action to 12,000 to effectively put his opponent all in.

After nearly three minutes of deliberation, Marchese's opponent made the call, but would muck at the sight of Marchese's {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} for a straight as he moves to just under 30,000 in chips.

DevilFish Makes Disciplined Laydown

Dan O'Hair

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

An early position player opened for 750 and another player to his immediate left went all-in for 6,950. David "Devilfish" Ulliott over-called from middle position.

Action folded around to the small blind, who raised to 20,000, which was enough to put Ulliott all-in. The original raiser folded action was back on Ulliott.

"Alright, I'll lay it down since I get to see. I had pocket eights."

The first all-in player revealed {6-} {6-} and the small blind revealed {Q-} {Q-} , confirming Ulliot's good fold, even though he is down to 13,300.

The board ran out {A-} {A-} {J-} {A-} {J-} , reducing the number of players at the table by one.
