Wilkerson Gets Quartered by O'Dea

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

On a board of {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{Q-Spades} Dylan Wilkerson was involved in a pot with Eoghan O'Dea. Wilkerson had a bet of what looked like 8,500 in front of him before O'dea made it 40,000 to go. Wilkerson mulled it over for a while before he shoved all in and O'Dea snap-called.

Eoghan O'Dea: {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}
Dylan Wilkerson: {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}

Both players had the nut low and both players had flush draws, but Wilkerson was in big trouble as O'Dea had a pair of queens and a dominating flush draw. The river was the {7-Diamonds} and that mean that with two pair and the nut low, O'Dea would receive three quarters of the pot and Wikerson was left with just 34,800 chips.

Calderaro Makes a Low on the River for a Chop

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

There was 9,000 in the middle between Brandon Shack-Harris, James Calderaro and one player in the cutoff on a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades} and all three players checked around.

The turn was the {A-Clubs} and Calderaro led with a bet of 9,000 before Shack-Harris put out a big chunk of chips, making it 28,500 and leaving himself with 2,000 behind. The player in the cutoff tanked for a long while before eventually flashing his cards to Dan Shak then folded.

This prompted a series of whoahs from the table as Calderaro was sitting next to Shak. Calderaro claimed that he didn't see the cards.

"But I think you had three aces now," Calderaro said.

"I just wanted to show that I wasn't tanking for nothing," the cutoff player said.

Calderaro mulled over his decision for a bit then eventually called.

The river was the {3-Clubs} and Calderaro bet 2,000 to put Shack-Harris all in. Shack-Harris quickly called and showed his {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} for the nut straight. Calderaro had {6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts} for the low and the two would chop the pot.

"I had the nuts," the player in the cutoff said. "I would've got quartered."

"I thought you had three aces," Calderaro said, explaining that his hand would've severely impacted Calderaro's outs. "I would've folded," Calderaro continued, explaining he would've folded if the cutoff player called.

Either way, Calderaro and Shack-Harris chopped the pot.

Bohlman Eliminated Hui Before the Final Break

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 0 ante

Just before the break, Phil Hui got all his chips in against Scott Bohlman on a flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}. Bohlman had the covering stack to put Hui at risk.

Scott Bohlman: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Phil Hui: {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Hui flopped top pair as well as a flush draw, but Bohlman had a set of deuces and was in the lead.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} which kept Bohlman in the lead and the {8-Hearts} on the river sealed the deal, giving Bohlman the only low and keeping his set in the lead.

Hui was sent to the rail and Bohlman collected the pot, moving to nearly 200,000 chips.

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Ryan Laplante shared the details of a monster pot where he took most of Shawn Nguyen's chips, who had an above average stack going into the hand.

According to Laplante, Nguyen made a pot sized raise of 3,500 from early position. Laplante was in the small blind and he called. The big blind called as well.

The flop was {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-} and action checked to Nguyen who continuation bet for 6,000. Laplante called while the big blind folded.

The turn was the {J-Clubs} and Laplante checked again. Nguyen made a bet of 16,000 and Laplante decided to call.

On the {8-Diamonds} river Laplante checked a third time. Nguyen bet 53,500 and Laplante called. Laplante showed down his {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{10-Spades} for aces and sixes and it was good to earn him the monster pot.

Campbell Takes a Big One From Shack-Harris

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Robert Campbell and Brandon Shack-Harris each had over 20,000 worth of bets in front of them as they approached the river on a board of {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}.

Campbell was first to act and he opted to check. Shak-Harris was on the button. He dropped into the tank, thought for a good while then decided to check behind as well.

Campbell showed down his {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Spades} for two pair and it would be good to earn him the pot as Shack-Harris sighed and mucked his hand.
