Bardah Folds After Three-Betting

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

After the player in the hijack seat opened with a raise to 1,000, Ronnie Bardah reraised on the button to 2,850 with about 31,000 behind. The player in the small blind reraised to 7,700, and action folded back to Bardah. He took some time, then folded, and his opponent scooped the pot.

Hachem's Presence Stirs Things Up For Convey and Reinkemeier

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante
Marc Convey
Marc Convey

"Joe sat down and it was as if the cameras brought out the action," Marc Convey joked about the crazy action that transpired after Australian Poker Hall of Fame member Joe Hachem sat down at his table.

Hachem, who didn't get involved in the action himself is being followed around for a documentary, witnessed the following as Tobias Reinkemeier doubled up, and Convey sent two players to the rail.

A player raised to 1,000, followed by a three-bet to 2,700 and a third player who moved all in for 17,000. Reinkemeier called all in for 5,700, and then it was Convey who shoved over the top for 27,000.

The other players involved folded, and Reinekmeier had the best of it with {A-}{A-}. Convey's hand was second best, and remained that, as the other player held {Q-}{Q-}.

"I profited a little bit," Convey said, "And on the next hand there was a lot of action again."

A player raised to 900 and Convey called with {A-}{J-} on the button, enticing the small blind to call as well. The flop brought out {K-}{Q-}{10-} with two diamonds, and Convey said, "After some raising we got it all in."

Convey had flopped a straight against the two pair of his opponent with {K-}{Q-}, and Convey received the remaining 19,000 chips of his opponent after the turn and river brought blanks.

Matusik: {A-Spades}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Matusik raked in some more chips saying, "It's my day, I'm sorry mate."
