Marcus Slipping

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante
Van Marcus is struggling a little today
Van Marcus is struggling a little today

Van Marcus opened to 600 from late position and found a caller in the big blind to see a {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop fall.

The big blind led for 1,100 with Marcus smooth-calling as the {K-Spades} on the turn was greeted by a 1,600-chip bet from the big blind.

Marcus again made the call before the river of the {9-Hearts} was checked through by both players.

Unfortunately for Marcus, he would be forced to fold after his opponent tabled his {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} as he slipped to 17,000 in chips.

Negreanu and Scott Tangle

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

We caught up with the action on the turn in a hand between multiple WSOP gold bracelet winner, WPT champion and Team PokerStars Pro Daniel Negreanu and 2009 Aussie Millions champion Stewart Scott.

The board was paired with the {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades} laying in the middle of the felt and a few thousand chips in the pot. Negreanu was first to act and tapped the table, passing the action to Scott. He fired 1,750 and after a moment of thought, Negreanu made the call.

The river card was the {9-Diamonds}. That card missed the spade draw present, but did complete a straight for certain holdings. Negreanu again checked over to Scott. With roughly 17,000 in his stack, Scott fired out a bet of 5,025. Negreanu tanked for a minute and then tossed in the call. After he called, Scott rolled over the {7-Spades}{5-Spades} for a rivered nine-high straight, having flopped an open-ender and adding a flush draw on the turn. Negreanu peeled back his hand once more and then tossed his cards into the muck.

"I could beat an ace," said Negreanu after the hand, who dropped back to 34,000 in chips. Scott was pushed the pot and moved back in positive territory with 33,000 in chips.

Hinrichsen Runs Into Trip Jacks

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

Andrew "FUZZBUNGLE" Hinrichsen raised from middle position after action folded to him. He made it 550 to go before a player in late position reraised to 1,350. Hinrichsen made the call and off to a flop they went.

After the flop came down {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Hinrichsen check-called a bet of 1,500. The turn added the {J-Spades} and Hinrichsen check-called again. This time he had to call a bit more as his opponent put out a bet of 3,100. Still, Hinrichsen stood true to the test.

The river card completed the board with the {A-Clubs} and Hinrichsen checked once more. His opponent plopped out 5,650. Hinrichsen made the call, but couldn't beat the {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} that his opponent held for a set of jacks. Hinrichsen mucked and was left with a stack of 23,000 in chips.

Neilson Rocks Diamonds

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

Daniel Neilson raised to 550 from early position and was called by David Steicke in the cutoff seat and Van Marcus in the big blind. The three of them saw the flop come down {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Marcus checked. Neilson fired 950 and Steicke called. Marcus folded.

The turn card was the {8-Diamonds}, yet another diamond hitting the felt. Both players checked to see the {3-Diamonds} hit the river. With a monotone board of all diamonds in the middle, Neilson fired 2,800. Steicke folded.

Neilson improved to 45,000 in chips while Steicke dropped back to 31,000.

Swannack Chips Up

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

Three players committed 550 preflop - one of which was Cole Swannack - to see a {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop fall.

The action was checked to the original aggressor who opted to fire out a continuation bet of 850 only to have Swannack check-raise from the big blind to 2,250.

With the third player out of the way, the original aggressor made the call as the {2-Hearts} landed on the turn and Swannack checked. His opponent fired out 2,850 and Swannack made the call as the {J-Hearts} landed on the river.

Swannack took the lead with a 7,000-chip bet only to have his opponent state, "Worst card in the deck. I fold!"

Swannack is now up to 25,000 in chips.

Things Not Working for Marcus

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante
Van Marcus
Van Marcus

A player raised to 500 from under the gun and the small blind called before Van Marcus also called from the big blind. The flop came down {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and the two blinds checked to the preflop raiser. He fired 1,225 and only Marcus called.

The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river completed the board with the {Q-Spades} and Marcus fired 3,000. His opponent took a moment and then called. Marcus immediately tabled the {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} for a busted draw, having just five high on the end. His opponent took about ten seconds to realize Marcus only had five high and then tabled the {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for the winning hand.

Minutes later, Marcus was involved in a other hand. This time, he called a bet of 2,300 on the river of the board reading {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}. His opponent tabled the {K-Spades}{Q-Spades} for trip queens and Marcus mucked his hand.

After those two blows, Marcus is down to just 4,800 chips and not looking too happy about things.

Lin Pays Off Watt's Flush

Level 7 : 400/800, 75 ante

With the final board of {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds} in the middle of the table, Team PokerStars Pro Celina Lin checked to Simon Watt. Watt fired 5,000 with 9,825 chips in the pot already. Lin tank-called, but mucked when Watt tabled the {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the flush, having flopped it. He moved to 44,000 while Lin dropped back to 36,000.
