Moreschi Set Up by Stoker

Level 6 : 80/160, 0 ante
Stephen Moreschi
Stephen Moreschi

After the player under the gun raised, Stephen "argyle123" Moreschi three-bet from the hijack and Ryan "Santasbzack2" Stoker four-bet jammed for 22,773 from the big blind.

Action folded back to Moreschi who called off his 16,106 stack and the two hands were revealed.

Ryan "Santasbzack2" Stoker: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Stephen "argyle123" Moreschi: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

It was a classic race with Moreschi looking to connect with either of his two overs but a queen appeared in the window on the {3-Spades}{4-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} flop, giving Stoker a set of ladies.

The {7-Hearts} left Moreschi drawing dead and and the {10-Hearts} river ended his tournament.

Kevin "GoneBananas" Garosshen Looking For Some WSOP Online Series Success

Level 6 : 80/160, 0 ante
Kevin Garosshen
Kevin Garosshen

A player that looked poised for a breakout prior to the Covid-19 Pandemic was Kevin "GoneBananas" Garosshen, and even after casinos closed down for an extended period of time, Garosshen spent last year's WSOP Online Series continuing to produce solid results that cemented his status as a player on the rise.

Garosshen's big breakout occurred at one of the last live events before the heart of the pandemic, as he took down the $1,650 HPT St. Louis Main Event for $131,184 after topping a field of 392 entrants. Garosshen then set his sights on the 2020 WSOP Online Series, and went to work immediately, finishing in third-place in Event #3: $1,000 NLH Deepstack 8-Max for $73,424. Garosshen ended up with a total of nine cashes in the 2020 WSOP Online.

So far this year, Garosshen has had a smattering of success on the felt, including two deep runs in side events at the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown, and a nineteenth-place finish in last month's WPT Tampa Championship. Garosshen will be looking to have another successful summer on the virtual felt, and add a WSOP Gold Bracelet to his HPT Title.

Hagerty Uses Up One Bullet

Level 7 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jeff "NedrudRelyt" Madsen three-bet to 1,338 over a raise to 400, Ryan "hagzzz021" Hagerty then four bet to 3,456 from the small blind, the initial raiser folded and Madsen five-bet all in for 23,107 and was called.

Hagerty had the better of it with the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} vs the {a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

The flop came the {j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs} to pair the ten. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and the river the {6-Diamonds} to bust Hagerty who re-bought.

Welch Dodged Broadway for Double

Level 8 : 120/240, 30 ante

Fatima "fatroy" Askaryar limped-in from early position and Carlos "CarlosWelch" Welch raised to 800 on the button.

After the blinds folded, Askaryar four-bet to 2,300 and then called Welch's 22,129 five-bet jam.

Fatima "fatroy" Askaryar: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Carlos "CarlosWelch" Welch: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Welch was way ahead and the {4-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} flop improved his hand to a set of aces.

The {j-Spades} turn did give Welch a little sweat as it gave Askaryar a draw to Broadway but the river came the {7-Diamonds} and secured his double-up.
