Hinrichsen Flushes Arce

Andrew Hinrichsen opened to 300 under the gun and was met with three callers; all of which were the last three to act.

Both blinds checked the {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{A-Spades} flop to see Hinrichsen fire out 750 with only Neil Arce making the call from the small blind.

As the turn landed the {Q-Diamonds}, Arce check-called a bet of 1,400 before the {6-Spades} fell on the river.

Arce checked, and after a few moments, Hinrichsen dropped in a stack of chips amounting to a bet of 3,400.

Taking his time to deliberate, Arce baulked not once, but twice, before eventually casually tossing the allotted chips into the pot to signify a call.

Hinrichsen flipped over his {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for a rivered flush as Arce shook his head left to right before flicking his cards to the muck as he slipped to 14,600. For Hinrichsen's nut-flush, he is now up to 28,500 in chips.

The Sun Sets on Flynn's Day

A very happy Sunshine Samson!
A very happy Sunshine Samson!

Speaking to tablemate Tim English, we were detailed the elimination of Kelly Flynn.

On a board reading {7-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{A-Spades} and roughly only 2,000 in the pot, Sunshine Samson fired out 600 only to have Flynn follow with a raise to 1,300.

Samson responded with a three-bet to 4,100 only to be met with another raise from Flynn; this time to 8,500. Samson moved all in and Flynn made the call for his tournament life tabling {J-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a flopped straight.

However it would be Samson's {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a turned full house that would darken Flynn's day as he made his way to the rail while Samson rocketed to 41,000 in chips.

Lai, Mckay Chop

Connie Lai opened to 300 from late position with only Ryan Mckay making the call from the cutoff.

Lai fired out 275 on the {5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop with Mckay making the call as the {9-Clubs} landed on the turn. Lai continued for 500 with Mckay once again smooth-calling as the {q-Diamonds} landed on the river.

This time checking, Lai was faced with a 1,500-chip bet which she called while tabling her {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}.

Mckay tabled his {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and the pot was chopped up as Mckay sits with 18,100 and Lai 14,700.

Grigg Chipped Down

Facing a raise to 300 and a call, Tom Grigg bumped it up from the cutoff to 1,050 as both opponents made the call.

The flop of {4-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} was checked through to see the {A-Diamonds} land on the turn and a bet of 1,325 from the player caught in the middle successfully take the pot down.

Although only a small pot, Grigg hasn't had the greatest start of the tournament as he has slipped to 11,300 in chips in the early going.

Graham Straightens Out Opponent

Three players - two of which were Jarred Graham and Neil Arce - committed 700 preflop to see a {10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{J-Spades} flop.

The original raiser fired out a continuation bet of 1,300 with Graham making the call from the cutoff before Arce folded from out of the small blind.

The turn of the {8-Spades} saw Graham faced with a 1,400-chip bet only to see him bump it to 3,400. His opponent made the call before check-calling 2,000 when the river landed the {3-Hearts}.

Graham tabled his {Q-Hearts}{9-Spades} for a turned straight, while his opponent tabled her {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds} before mucking and relinquishing the pot to Graham as he climbed to 27,400 in chips.

Tom Grigg three-bet the action to 1,250 after a 500-chip raise preflop.

His opponent made the call before checking the {Q-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop as Grigg fired out 1,350. His opponent check-raised to 3,000 and Grigg made the call as the {3-Diamonds} landed on the turn and the action was checked to Grigg again.

Grigg fired out 2,250 and his opponent this time check-called before both players checked the {9-Spades} on the river.

Grigg tabled his {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to best his opponent's {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} as he climbed back to 20,000 in chips.

Samson Clips Hockin

After unsuccessfully defending her big blind in a raised pot when she folded to a turn bet on a board reading {K-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Clubs}, Sunshine Samson has picked up a nice pot to send her back up the leaderboard.

With a limp ahead of her, Samson made it 650 to go from the button, only to have Paul Hockin three-bet to 1,700 from the big blind.

The limper passed, but Samson casually tossed in the necessary chips to make the call as the {j-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop was followed by a 2,100-chip continuation bet from Hockin.

Pausing for a few moments, Samson bumped it to 4,500 to force a fairly prompt fold from Hockin as he slipped below the 14,000-chip mark while Samson climbs to 43,400 in chips.
