Theuma Caught Bluffing

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} on the board, Adam Walton was in the tank from the big blind. Corel Theuma had put in 10,000 into about 15,000 from the cutoff, and that represented nearly all of Walton's remaining chips. Finally, he called.

Theuma showed {5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} for bottom pair and Walton won it with {k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}.

Moschel Doubles Through Vi

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jonathan Moschel bet 6,500 into about 15,000 from an early position on a completed board of {6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. His big blind opponent, Roger Vi, put in a check-raise to 23,500. Moschel responded by shoving all in for 44,900. He received a quick call and tabled {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a boat.

Vi's cards were quickly mucked by the dealer, but we did see the {9-Hearts} among them.

Lima Felts Another

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With {8-Spades}{a-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} on the felt, a player on the button bet 15,000 and called off instantly for about 40,000 when Viny Lima check-raised all in from the small blind. Lima turned over {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a full house, and his opponent showed {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a weaker boat.

"Magic river," someone said.

Randall Webb bet 6,000 on a {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop out of the hijack and Kevin Ward piled for 37,500. Webb went into the tank for over a minute an called.

Ward: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Webb: {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

Webb was ahead for the minute but had a lot of cards to fade. The {7-Diamonds} and {2-Spades} were safe for him and he received a fist bump from Ward.

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Adam Walton checked a {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop from the big blind and called 6,500 from Corel Theuma on the button. On the {6-Spades} turn, Walton checked and Theuma bet 12,000. Walton announced he was all in and Theuma got a count of 57,500.

Finally, he tossed {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds} into the middle face up. He asked Walton if he'd bluffed him.

"If I wanted you to see, I'd have shown you," Walton replied with a laugh.
