Flush Does the Trick for "King" Dan

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

With a board reading {q-Hearts}{k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, an unknown player checked and Dan Smith bet 3,000. His opponent hit the tank, and during that time Dan Shak began to strike up a conversation with Smith. Eventually the tanker called, but not before chastising Shak for talking in the middle of a hand.

When the {Q-Spades} completed the board on the river, the unknown player checked and Smith fired out 7,000. His opponent snap-called and Smith tabled the {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flush and the win. "I didn't mind," Smith said in regards to Shak's table chatter.

Back on Track

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Season 10 EPT Prague Main Event winner Julian Track is down under for the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event, and thankfully he's kicked the cold that had him in shivers during the final table in the Czech Republic.

The German is off to a fast start here at Crown, winning an all-in pot moments ago with aces against an opponent's kings.

Track and his opponent were heads up on a flop of {4-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and the German was all in for effectively 30,000 or so. His opponent pondered the decision for well over three minutes before committing the rest of his chips, and Track turned over {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. The player showed {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

The turn was paint, and although the {q-Hearts} didn't hit the player directly it did give him four extra outs to make a straight. Fortunately for Track the {6-Clubs} bricked off on the river, and his pocket rockets held up.

More for Yan

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

[Removed:17] and an opponent were heads up on a board of {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Yan fired out a pot-sized bet of 10,600, and the player tanked for over two minutes before calling.

Yan ripped over {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for kings and sevens, and his opponent mucked his hand.

A Short Day for Greenstein

Barry Greenstein

Team PokerStars Pro Barry Greenstein has been eliminated from the 2014 Aussie Millions Main Event. We missed it when it happened, but Bob Trask was kind enough to fill us in on the details.

According to Trask, he crippled Greenstein in an earlier hand. The Team Pro then got the last of his chips all in preflop holding {q-}{q-} and was up against the {a-}{k-} of an unknown player as well as the {10-}{8-} of Trask. Both active players checked the {j-}{8-}{9-} flop, and then the unknown player bet when an {a-} appeared on the turn. Trask called and ended up winning the pot when an {8-} gave him trips on the river.

Berende Raises the River

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Viktor Blom, Paul Berende, and a third person took a flop of {4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. Blom checked, the third player tossed out 700, and only Berende called.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}, both players checked, and the suicide king ({k-Hearts}) completed the board. The player led out for 1,350, and the Dutchman considered the river bet for a minute or so before reaching into his stack.

"Raise," Berende announced, tossing a yellow T5,000 chip in front of him.

The player went into the tank, but ultimately flicked his hand into the muck.
