Steinberg Turning Houses Like a Champ

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Max Steinberg and Michael Gagliano took to a flop of {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Steinberg checked and Gagliano bet out 2,700. Steinberg called and they saw a turn of the {4-Hearts}. Again Steinberg checked and Gagliano bet. This time 6,100. Steinberg looked back at his cards and then decided to call. The river came the {3-Hearts} and Steinberg checked once more. Gagliano took a moment before annoying "All in." Steinberg could not have called quicker. Gagliano turned over {q-}{q-} and threw them immediately into the muck when Steinberg flipped up {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} like a champ. His turned full house was able to eliminate Gagliano and Steinberg joined the 100k club with 126,000.

Paur Busts Julius

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Ryan Julius, Kyle Julius' brother, just busted to Taylor Paur. In a preflop all in Paur held {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} while Julius tabled {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The dealer made no show out of it and rapidly put out a flop ({5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Spades}), turn ({10-Spades}) and river ({3-Diamonds}). "Thanks for playing" the dealer said while Julius got up from the table. Paur started stacking, Julius silently left the tan section of the Amazon Room.

Koon Value Bets

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Most of the times a small pot we only picked up on the river wouldn't make it to the blog. just now we saw something interesting though. It had been checked to Jason Koon in the cutoff and he bet 3,600 on {A-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Hearts} | {6-Diamonds} | {7-Diamonds} in position. His opponent in the big blind had checked, and now called. Koon showed {5-Spades}{6-Spades} full of confidence and it was good, his opponent mucked. Talk about a value bet.

Ausmus Drops Two

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Sean Jazayeri raised to 2,000 from under the gun, Jeremy Ausmus three-bet to 4,000 from the cutoff, and Ognjen Sekularac cold four-bet to 8,100 from the big blind. Only Ausmus called.

The dealer fanned {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Sekularac led out for 7,300, and Ausmus called. Both players checked when the {2-Hearts} turned, and when the {9-Spades} completed te board, and the Serbian showed {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} for a flopped set of queens. Ausmus mucked his hand.

The next hand, Jazayeri was all in preflop for 12,700 holding {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. Ausmus had him at risk with {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, and Jazayeri won the raise when the flop, turn, and river produced {q-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

He doubled to 26,000 chips, while Ausmus dropped to 166,000.

Welcome to the 100,000+ Club

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Dominik Nitsche already had a ton of chips, but just added some more to get near the 200,000 mark. Nitsche was stacking his chips while the table waited for more players. That gave us the time to ask Nitsche what we had missed since he clearly had way more chips than before. Nitsche told us that he won a couple of hands in a row. In one of them he got three streets of value with pocket nines against seven eight on a board where the flop was {7-}{5-}{5-}. A little bit later he again fired three bullets on a board where the flop was {A-Spades}{A-}{10-Spades}. His opponent called the flop and turn but folded to the river shove.

Govert Metaal also has well over 100,000 now. One of the hands responsible for the big increase was one where he called a three bet with {K-}{J-}. He flopped a jack and called a small continuation bet. He hit another jack on the turn and got all the chips in the middle against pocket aces. The river was a blank and Metaal's stack skyrocketed.

Lieu Five-Bet Shoves

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Paul Lieu started the hand off by raising to 2,200. Barry "Big Dog" Lang made the call. An opponent on the 3-bet to 4,600. Next to act was Andrew Brokos on the button and he made a 4-bet to 11,000. Action was on Lieu who looked at everyones chip count before announcing he was all in. This 5-bet shove got all three players to fold and the preflop action gave Lieu a sizable pot and a stack of 61,000.

Started From the Bottom, Now We Here

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Jeremy Ausmus
Jeremy Ausmus

Prahlad Friedman raised to 2,300 from under the gun, Jeremy Ausmus, who started the day with just 15,000 chips, three-bet to 3,600 on the button, and Friedman, who only had 11,300 behind, called.

The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Friedman moved all in, and Ausmus quickly called.

Friedman: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Ausmus: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The turn and river came {9-Spades}. {j-Clubs} respectively, and Friedman was eliminated.

The very next hand, while Ausmus was stacking his chips, he raised to 2,000. A player three-bet to 4,500, and the action folded back to Ausmus. The Octo-Niner was tanking while continuing to stack his newfound chips, which annoyed the three-bettor.

"I don't mean to be rude, but you have to stop doing that. It's really inconsiderate," the player told Ausmus.

In response, the cash grinder grabbed a large tower of T1,000 chips, and slid them forward, putting the gentleman all in.

"It's going to be like that?" the player asked, folding.

Ausmus responded with a simple smile.
