Hashimoto Makes a Tricky Call

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Picking up the action on the river, Akira Hashimoto in late position was involved in a hand with Danny Wong in the big blind as well as a player in the cutoff. With the board reading 7♣9♦7♠4♦2♣ action checked to the cutoff and he bet a chunky 32,000. Wong thought for quite some time before eventually deciding to fold while Hashimoto also did not act immediately. The Japanese player did end up making the call with A♣10♣ and was rewarded with the pot after his opponent turned over Q♦J♦ for the missed flush draw.

Gabriel Leaves with a Smile

Roxanne Johnson

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 4,000 and David Jenkins in middle position called and Quene Gabriel in the big blind also called. The flop came out 7♥5♣J♦ and the initial raiser sent out his continuation bet of 5,000 and was called by both players.

The turn 4♥ was checked through by all the players.

On the river Q♠ Gabriel made her move and moved all in for 25,000. The player under the gun gulped and folded and Jenkins made the call.

Quene Gabriel: 9♠8♠
David Jenkins: J♣Q♣

Jenkins took it down with top two pair. Gabriel left with a big smile, thanked everyone and hugged her rail.

Garcia Back in the Game

David Salituro

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ryan Garcia found himself all in again, this time for 26,000 from the big blind. He was called by an opponent in the cutoff.

Ryan Garcia: A♠Q♣
Opponent: A♥J♦

Garcia had his opponent dominated heading to the Q♥8♣2♦ flop, which gave him top pair on a big lead in the hand. The J♠ turn gave his opponent some outs, but Garcia made trips on the Q♦ river to secure another double up.

"You had 7,000. Back in the game. Remember, if you win the Main Event you owe this table," a tablemate said.

"Oh, now you want to start talking about that," Garcia replied with a laugh.

Larson Tries for it All

Tyler Foran

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Thomas Larson had 91,000 in the middle from the cutoff and the button who already had 40,000 in, was in the tank. After about a minute the button called the extra 51,000.

The dealer fanned a flop of K♦10♣4♣ and Larson jammed for 211,000. His opponent paused for only about five seconds before releasing his hand.

Larson let out a large breath of air and wiped his forehead as he pitched the cards into the muck. "Boy am I glad you didn't have king-king there."

Katz Leaves His Opponent Wondering

Ollie Garland

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The pot stood at 20,000 with two players looking at a board that read 7♣3♠10♦Q♣.

Cary Katz checked the action over to the under-the-gun player who bet out for 9,500. Katz raised the bet to 45,000; an effective all-in as he'd left himself just 4,500 chips behind.

Katz's opponent went deep into the tank squirming over his decision before eventually folding 10♣9♣ face up.

Fisher Doubles Through Roberts

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the cards already on their backs, Todd Fisher was the player at risk with the Q♥10♦ and up against the A♥K♠ of Christian Roberts on the button.

The 10♠4♦4♥6♦6♣ board kept Fisher in contention with tens and sixes.

Kassouf Cashes In

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A completed board of 8♠3♣3♠4♠2♥ was spread in a pot between William Kassouf in the big blind and a player on the button. Kassouf made a bet of 15,500 and had his opponent in the tank while engaging in some of his patented speech play.

While the floor was overlooking if Kassouf broke any rules, his opponent ultimately made the call. Kassouf tabled K♠5♠ for the flush and raked in a sizable pot.

"Cooler," he uttered while stacking up his chips.
