We arrived at the table with the flop spread out . Jackson Zheng checked from the big blind before Justin Walch bet out 1,800. The player to his immediate left then bumped it up to 4,500. Alex Lynskey was also in the hand, and he opted to raise it up once more to 9,500 from late position.
Zheng mucked as soon he saw the betting get out of control. Walch was next to act, and after contemplating for a minute moved all in for just over 30,000 in chips. A quick fold from the next player along before Lynskey made the call with more chips behind.
Walch:
Lynskey:
Walch was in front with his pair of kings, but the lead would not last long as the dealer produced the on the turn giving Lynskey his flush. The missed Walch on the river and he was sent to the rail.
Lynskey now sits behind a stack amassing 110,000 in chips.
Michael Guzzardi has just doubled up and is now above the starting stack. We arrived at the aftermath of Guzzardi’s double hand. He was all in for 11,900 and his opponent’s cards were already in the muck. What we do know is that Guzzardi had and the board read , so clearly a flush was strong to scoop up the pot!
With the pot over 20,000 in chips and the board reading the player in the small blind threw a bet of 2,000. Geoff Fitzpatrick was the other player in the hand, and he opted to raise it up to 12,000. His opponent went into the tank for a minute before finally making the call.
Fitzpatrick then tabled his for a full house which was good enough to take down the pot. He now has 82,000 in chips.
Luis Arrilucea has built quite a healthy stack of late. He recently eliminated a player who moved all in for 12,900 on a flop. Arriclucea called it off with for the open-ended straight draw, which was up against the of the all-in player.
The set of jacks stayed ahead on the turn, but the river gave Arrilucea the straight and so he won the pot and sent a player home.
The action folded to John “JT” Tawhada in middle position who moved all in for his last 10,800 in chips. Mehrdad Razmi made the call from late position before the player in the cut off moved all in for an additional 700 in chips. The player on the button as well as the ones in the blinds got out of the way. Razmi made the call and the three players tabled their cards.
Tawhada:
Razmi:
Cut off:
The board ran out to see Tawhada make his broadway straight on the river to take down a much needed pot. The player in the cut off won the side pot and is still alive with 1,400 in chips. Razmi’s monster stack hardly took a hit dropping down to 120,000 in chips.
Jackson Zheng fell quite short early in the day, with his stack being as low as around 5,000.
Then he moved back over 30,000 before recently doubling up to around 70,000.
We watched Zheng get around 30,000 chips in the middle and put himself at risk on a flop. He held and was up against . Zheng needed so dodge some clubs and that’s what he did on the turn and the river.
Zheng’s stack is looking healthy as we head towards the end of the day.
