Edwards Mucks?

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Doing the rounds for chip counts, we stumbled upon Luke Edwards’ table, with some action starting. The player in middle position opened with a bet of 900, before the player on the button re-raised to 1,950. Edwards then re-raised from the small blind to 3,600, forcing the original player out. The player on the button didn’t take too long, announcing all-in and moving his remaining 12,325 in chips into the middle. Edwards shook his head but made the call.

His opponent tabled {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Edwards tabled his {K-Clubs}{K-Hearts}. What happened next wasn’t unexpected. The dealer then took both players’ cards, mucking them into the middle. She mustn’t have heard Edwards making the call, and his opponent was quick to retrieve his cards from directly on top of the muck, before a supervisor was called over to retrieve Edward’s cards.

With everything sorted, the board ran out {7-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, with the ace bringing a much needed double up to Edwards’ opponent, as he slips down to 19,000 in chips.

Glennon Loses Most, Eliminated Shortly After

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jarrod Glennon was just involved in a very big hand, with the action caught on a board reading {10-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{6-Spades}. It started with a player placing out a bet, before Glennon raised to 3,500. The bet was met with a re-raise to 11,000, triggering Glennon to push out 28,500 in chips, covering his opponent. The bet was called, and his opponent confidently tabled his {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. Glennon smirked, as he tabled his {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for a bluff. The {Q-Diamonds} completed the board, dropping Glennon down to 8,000 in chips.

Two hands later, Glennon got the remainder of his chips in pre-flop and had one caller. Unluckily for him, he ran his {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} into his opponent’s {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and was unable to catch a double when the board ran out {7-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs}

As Glennon made his way out of the room, Ricky Kroesen turned to the player beside him and said, “Even if he didn’t spew off the hand before, he still loses it all that hand.”

Glazier and Levy Have a Laugh

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

Action started with Grant Levy opening to 1,300 and only finding a caller in Jackie Glazier. The two saw the flop fall {Q-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}. Levy checked-called a bet of 1,400, before both players checked the {7-Diamonds} on the turn. The river produced the {6-Hearts} and Levy again checked. Glazier placed out 600 in chips, before bursting out laughing. Levy also laughed, as he took his 600 in chips, and placed them infront of Glaziers stack, acknowledging she’d won the hand.

Glazier tabled her {A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} as Levy mucked his cards, with the {a-Spades} facing up.

“How much do you call on the river?” joked Glazier.

“700! You missed out there,” joked Levy, as the two sat back and continued to talk about the hand amongst themselves.

Gao Makes Right Call, Loses

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

We arrived at the table to see a big pot emerging, with the flop reading {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Dejan Divkovic bet out 7,200 in chips, sending Jie Gao into the tank. Two minutes passed before Gao made the call, to see the {8-Clubs} fall on the turn. Instantly, Divkovic announced all-in, and pushed in his remaining 13,325 in chips. Gao again went into the tank, this time for a longer period of time. He finally made the call and was ecstatic when his {j-Hearts}{j-Spades} was in front of Divkovic’s {A-Diamonds}{k-Spades}.

That is, until the {k-Clubs} fell on the river, sending Gao jumping out of his chair in disappointment, as Divkovic could only smile, raking in the pot.
