Wade's Check-Raise Wins Him a Pot in $5K Challenge

Tristan Wade
Tristan Wade

Tristan Wade opened to 11,000 from early position and was called by the player on the button and the player in the big blind.

Action checked to the button the 2J7 flop and he bet 12,000. The big blind called, but Wade then cut out a check-raise to 45,000 and placed it into the middle.

Neither player wanted anything to do with it and let their hands go — awarding the pot to Wade without resistance.

Wade is coming off a deep run in the $1,500 Mystery Bounty event, wherein he finished 19th, and currently sits with about 335,000.

Amiri Flops the Nuts in $5K Challenge

Ehsan Amiri
Ehsan Amiri

The player in the cutoff opened to 10,000 and was called by Ehsan Amiri on the button for a heads-up pot.

The cutoff check-called a 5,000 bet from Amiri on the 932 flop and checked again after the 2 paired the board on the turn. Amiri continued for 25,000 and his opponent responded by shoving for a bit over 100,000 total.

Amiri nearly beat his opponent into the pot with a call and hands were revealed.

Cutoff: KQAll in
Ehsan Amiri: A10

Amiri's opponent could only laugh after seeing he was drawing dead, and an irrelevant J river made his elimination official to send Amiri a nice pot.
