Brutal River for Lichtenberger

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

On the last hand before break, Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 3,800 from middle position and Ken Weinstein three-bet right behind him to 9,500. It folded back around to Lichtenberger who calmly put in a four-bet of 22,400.

Weinstein quickly moved all in for 86,700 and Lichtenberger couldn't wait to call with his {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}. Weinstein had {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and needed to improve to stay alive.

The flop was {6-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs} and fairly clean for Lichtenberger. The {8-Clubs} came on the turn giving Weinstein four more outs. Weinstein would then spike the {9-Diamonds} on the river for the cruel double-up.

Lichtenberger graciously prepared for break, as Weinstein stacked his chips.

Harnois Aces It

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Thomas Harnois liked the first hand he got after the break, so he decided to put the rest of the chips in the middle and see what happened.

What happened was his {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} was called by Jake Schwartz holding a pair with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

The cards came out {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}{9-Clubs} with the ace in the window hitting Harnois's hand and giving him a double-up.

“So Weird”

Level 14 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Nachman Berlin opened from under the gun plus one and got two callers including Robert Kuhn in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}. Kuhn checked and Berlin made a continuation bet of 7,300. The other player folded and Kuhn check-raised all in.

Berlin asked for his bet to be matched from his opponent's stack so he could see how much more it was to call and it was approximately 35,000 more.

Berlin sighed and weighed the situation. “What can you have? That’s so weird.”

A reluctant fold in the end from Berlin led to him pleading to see Kuhn’s cards but he refused reasoning that as no one else was showing he wasn’t about to be the first.
