Set Over Set Becomes Quads

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

The {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop was already out and three players were in contention.

There had been a check, followed by a 1,100 bet by Yves Grenon and then a 3,500 three-bet. This pushed the first player off but not Grenon, who moved all in for about 16,000, which was enough to cover his opponent. His opponent called and they turned their cards over. It was top set with {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for Grenon, which gave the {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} of the other player just one live card in the deck.

The {a-Hearts} made no difference and the {9-Hearts} still meant Grenon had the best hand, albeit that it had improved to quads. Grenon collected the pot and started stacking up the 31,200 chips.

Kaye Sends One Home

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

The player in early position opened to 500. David Kaye, in the hijack, three-bet to 1,225. The button called. The original raiser four-bet shoved for 12,200. Kaye reshoved for around 34,000. The button folded.

David Kaye: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

''I have three outs, but I'm a non believer'' commented the original raiser.

The board ran {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Kaye won the pot, sending his opponent to the exit.

Off to the Races

Level 4 : 75/150, 25 ante

There was a lot of interest in the hand preflop but in the end, it came down to just two players who were willing to stake it all on their hands. There was a 400 raise, a flat and another flat by James Akenhead on the button before the big blind squeezed to 2,000. This got the initial raiser out of the way but not Robert Peacock, who moved all-in. James Akenhead quickly folded and the big blind made the call.

Peacock was flipping with {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} against {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} as the dealer took them to the flop of {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The diamond flop didn't change much but the {7-Spades} turn did, bringing four straight outs that would give the two players a chop. The {10-Diamonds} river bricked though and Peacocks pair of queens is enough to win the 14,800 pot.
