Zarro Cracks Aces to Stay Alive, Guerin Still Profits

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

German pro Jens Lakemeier raised to 1,400 in early position after which Andy Zarro moved all in for 12,275. Didier Guerin was next to act and he thought for a while before making the call.

The action folded back around to Lakemeier, and he moved al in, eliciting a snap-call from Guerin.

Guerin: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Lakemeier: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}
Zarro: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The flop brought out {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Guerin seemed on his way to gathering a very big stack. The {6-Diamonds} changed nothing, but the {J-Spades} river turned everything upside down. Zarro went from last to first, and with a loud cheer he raked in a huge triple up. Guerin shook his head, but he still doubled through Lakemeier who took the biggest hit.

Ivey Eliminated By Volkoff

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante
Phil Ivey (or is this No Home Jerome?)
Phil Ivey (or is this No Home Jerome?)

A short-stacked Phil Ivey moved all in for 2,725 from the hijack seat. On the button, Tamara Volkoff reraised all in for 7,675. Everyone else folded, and that left Ivey's {J-Spades}{9-Hearts} up against the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for Volkoff.

The {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop didn't do much for Ivey, and the {K-Hearts} on the turn left him drawing stone dead. The river was the {10-Diamonds}, but Ivey was already halfway to the exit by the time it hit the felt.

Juanda Eliminated by Chew

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante
John Juanda
John Juanda

John Juanda's seat was vacant and Faraz Jaka, with the help of other players at the table, told us what had happened.

Stevan Chew had opened and Juanda had defended from the big blind. Juanda then check called a bet on {2-}{4-}{8-} rainbow with a single {X-Hearts}. The turn was the {4-Diamonds} bringing a second diamond to the table and Juanda bet out. Chew called, and he called Juanda's 4,550 shove on the blank on the river as well.

Juanda had nothing but {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. Chew had called with a better nothing with {A-}{K-} and sent Juanda packing.

Peters Gets Lucky to Eliminate Foe

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

David Peters raised to 1,200 from the button and was met by a three-bet to 3,850 from an opponent in the blinds. Peters, who had a stack of around 35,000, thought for a bit before moving all in and his opponent snap-called off for 20,000.

Peters: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}
Opponent: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

Peters was in a bad spot and primed to lose most of his stack. That's when lady luck smiled on him and delivered a set on the {5-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop. Neither the {2-Spades} turn nor {4-Spades} river helped the at-risk player, and Peters was pushed the pot.

Rich Adds a Little to Her Stack

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

Angelina Rich, the better half of Alex Lynskey and the first-ever female champion of the Mid-States Poker Tour, raised to 1,000 from the hijack and the player in the big blind opted to defend.

Both players checked the {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop and then the big blind check-called a bet of 1,300 on the {6-Hearts} turn. When the {3-Spades} completed the board on the river, both players returned to checking and the big blind showed the {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair of sixes. It was no good though as Rich held the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a pair of jacks.

Volkoff Doubles

Level 6 : 250/500, 75 ante

After an opponent raised to 1,800 from the hijack seat, Tamara Volkoff reraised all in from the small blind to 15,325. Her opponent tanked for a little bit, then said, "I've seen you do this with a lot worse. Anyone else, I probably fold."

Volkoff, who has been playing fairly snug for most of the day, got a nice laugh out of her opponent's comments. The player eventually made the call with the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}, but that was dominated by the {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} for Volkoff.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}, and Volkoff doubled up.

"I have not shoved with a bad hand at all," said Volkoff with a laugh as she collected the chips.
