Secker Cuts Tushnet in Half

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Hans Secker checked from the big blind on a {2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts} board, Joel Tushnet bet 6,000 from middle position and Secker responded with a check-raise to 15,000. Tushnet counted Secker's stack and as soon as he had counted the last chip he announced that he was all-in.

Secker seemed genuinely pained in his decision making, squirming in his seat, rubbing his hair before he finally pulled the trigger and called.

Secker: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}
Tushnet: {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Although Secker had the best hand, he was actually a slight underdog due to Tushnet being able to catch an eight, ten or club to beat him. The {3-Hearts} was a safe card for Secker, as was the {J-Hearts} on the river and a delighted Secker doubled up. Tishnet did not look too pleased with the outcome.

Moshe Wins One From Schmid

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Mark Schmid was first to act in late position and he raised to 6,500. Asi Moshe called from the next seat along and once the cutoff, button and blinds folded, the dealer put the {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} onto the flop.

Often on these types of boards it is the first bet that wins the pot. Schmid neglected to bet, but Moshe wasted no time in making it 6,500 to play. No sooner had Moshe's chips hit the felt, Schmid's cards landed in the muck.

Moshe Takes Main + Huge Side Pot

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Asi Moshe
Asi Moshe

Asi Moshe raised to 6,000 from early position and a player called from late position. Zo Karim also made the call from the big blind. The flop was {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{j-Hearts} and both Karim and Moshe checked. Their opponent moved all in for 46,000 and Karim quickly made the call. Moshe thought for a moment and then called as well.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Karim quickly moved all in and was met with a snap-call from Moshe. Moshe tabled {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the nuts and Karim's {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} was drawing dead. Their opponent's {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs} still had outs, but the {4-Hearts} completed the board and Karim took a big hit, while the all-in player was eliminated.

Tushnet Jams on Pham

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

David Pham raised to 7,000 from the hijack seat only to see Joel Tushnet three-bet all-in from the next seat along. Pham counted out the required chips and discovered that calling and being wrong would result in him being left with only 20,000 chips. After almost two minutes, Pham folded and showed the {A-Hearts}.
