Jetten Backdoors Into Trips

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a board of {7-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} we found Full Tilt Poker Red Pro Peter Jetten leading with a bet of 1,600.

His lone opponent in the hand made the call as the {5-Hearts} found its way on the river.

Jetter paused for a moment before tossing in a yellow 5,000-denomination chip while announcing a bet of 4,000.

His opponent quickly made the call only to muck at the sight of Jetten's {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for backdoor trips as he moved to 26,000 and change.

Wigg Coolered to Rail

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a flop of {2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades} we found the action checked over to Anton Wigg who opted to fire out a bet of 2,125.

His opponent responded by check-raising to 17,000 as Wigg made the call for his tournament life.

Wigg: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}

In a sick cooler of set-over-set, Wigg would see the {10-Clubs} and {9-Diamonds} roll off on the turn and river to end his tournament early.

I Have the Nuts! No I Have the Nuts! No I Have the Nuts!

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Action got pretty crazy on a board reading {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. The first player to act bet 525. Van Marcus slowly made it 2,725. Then the elderly gentleman to his left said, "I'm going to raise," and stuck out 1,500. He was clearly confused, but paid without grumbling when the dealer explained that he'd committed himself to a bet of 4,925.

"I'm going to raise too," said the original bettor, making it 12,525. Van Marcus then instantly moved all in. The third player thought about his decision for a few minutes, staring at the board and his chips. Then he moved all in too. And the first bettor shrugged and stuck in his stack as well.

Marcus and the original bettor looked at each other and agreed they must have the same hand. "You got diamonds?" Marcus asked. "Only one." At showdown it was {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} vs. {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} vs. {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. No one had a freeroll, so the {4-Diamonds} river didn't change a thing. And with that, the dealer split the pot three ways.

Sevens No Good for Zmukic

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Vesko Zmukic opened to 250 preflop and found two callers as a {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop fell and the action was checked through.

The turn of the {3-Clubs} saw the big blind lead for 550 before Zmukic made it 1,550 to go with just the big blind calling.

The river of the {10-Diamonds} saw the big blind check and Zmukic fire out 2,525 only to have his opponent quickly make the call.

Zmukic tabled his {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts}, but it would be his opponent's {Q-Clubs}{9-Spades} for the second nut straight that would see him claim the pot as Zmukic slips to 15,200.

Jack-Seven is the Nuts for Turker

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Koray Turker opened with a cutoff raise to 250 only to have Darren Woods three-bet the button to 800.

Once the blinds passed and the action returned to Turker, he made it 2,100 to go. Woods happily responded with the five-bet to 4,700 only to see Turker respond with a long pause in the tank before moving all in.

Woods deliberated momentarily before folding as Turker flashed his powering {J-}{7-} to claim the six-bet pot to move to 25,000 in chips.

Warwick Mirzikinian reraised from the big blind after Ilir Beluli raised to from middle position. Beluli then made it 3,950 and Mirzikinian called.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Mirzikinian check-called a bet of 5,500 from Beluli to see the {5-Spades} fall on the turn. Both players checked and the {7-Hearts} fell on the river. Both checked again.
