Some More Table #423 Action

Here is some more action from our favorite table.

Jeff Manza raised to 3,200 in first position and Aaron Jones called in the hijack seat. The flop was {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Spades} and Manza bet 3,400; Jones called. The turn card was the {6-Clubs} and this time the betting action was reversed, Manza check-calling a 5,700 Jones bet. On the river we saw the {8-Diamonds} and both players decided to check and Manza took the pot with {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades}. Jones told the table that he was out-kicked but didn't show his hand.

Then Ken Shelton raised to 3,200 in the hijack seat, Ryan Fair called in the cutoff, Kevin Saul called on the button and Jones three-bet to 12,600 in the big blind. Ken Shelton moved all-in for 53,200 and everyone folded.

Durkee Leading

World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet winner William Durkee is making moves. He is up to over 300,000 chips and looking confident. Here is a hand involving the man currently topping the chip count charts.

The button opened to 3,200 and Durkee made the call in the big blind. The action checked through to the turn on a board of {K-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} and Durkee led for 4,700. The button called and the pair were soon staring at the {8-Hearts} on the river. Durkee bet 10,000 and the button released his hand.

Reynolds Backs Down to Gross

We caught up with the action on a {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{8-Clubs} flop, where William Reynolds led for for 4,000 from the small blind. His lone opponent, Steve Gross, called from the big blind.

Reynolds thought for a while on the {5-Spades} turn, but eventually decided to fire another barrel - this time for 6,500. Gross deliberated a bit and then slid out a raise to 18,000. Reynolds took one last peak at his cards and then slid them into the muck one-by-one.

Reynolds is down to 65,000 while Gross has risen to 170,000.
