Jimenez Leaves Edmonds Short

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Rafael Jimenez
Rafael Jimenez

The action folded around to Shade Edmonds on the button and he jammed for about 180,000. Rafael Jimenez was in the big blind and paused for a brief moment before calling off his stack of 165,000.

Rafael Jimenez: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}
Shade Edmonds: {a-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Jimenez had Edmonds dominated and the flop of {k-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} gave him a royal flush draw. The {7-Hearts} turn and {3-Hearts} river were both bricks and the ace-jack held to double through Edmonds.

Bubelnik Wins Massive Flip

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Matt Bubelnik
Matt Bubelnik

Matt Bubelnik was seen with his entire 74,500 across the line and he had his opponent at risk for 71,000 before the flop.

Opponent: {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}
Matt Bubelnik: {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

It was a classic race as the flop came {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}, for the pocket threes to still be in the lead. The {5-Hearts} hit the turn, giving Bubelnik a few more outs as he could counterfeit his opponent and the {q-Clubs} hit the river, improving him to queens and fives.

"Good play, nice hand," his opponent said with sportsmanship as he left the table.

Patish's Kicker Sends One Out

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded around to the hijack who put in a raise and Mikhail Patish three-bet to 25,000 on the button. The player in the hijack tanked for about 30-seconds before putting all of his chips across the line for roughly 40,000. Patish snap-called.

Hijack: {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Mikhail Patish: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Patish had his opponent dominated and the board ran out {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for his ace-high queen-kicker to hold.

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Rafael Jimenez
Rafael Jimenez

With four players in the pot, the action checked to the river on the {k-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} board, and the action checked to Shade Edmonds on the button with over 30,000 in the middle.

Edmonds fired out a bet of 20,000 and 2019 Bar Poker Open Champion called from the big blind before the other two players folded.

"You're good," Said Edmonds as he waited for Jimenez to show. Jimenez tabled {10-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a pair of fives and Edmonds shook his head as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Mikhail Patish
Mikhail Patish

A player jammed for their last 7,500 in early position and there was one call before Mikhail Patish three-bet to 20,000. The tabled quickly folded around and both hands were shown.

Early Position: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Mikhail Patish: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

"Ace!" begged the all-in player.

Unfortunately for the player at risk the ace never came on the {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades} run out and Patish raked in the pot.

Brink Rivers a Flush for a Big One

Level 9 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Glen Brink
Glen Brink

A player limped in middle position before there was a raise to 8,500. Glen Brink called on the button and the limper came along as well.

The dealer fanned a flop of {q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and once checked to the preflop raiser jammed for about 50,000. Brink quickly called and the third player mucked his hand.

All-In Player: {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}
Glen Brink: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Brink was looking to make a better pair than his opponent or a flush, and the {8-Spades} on the turn was no help. However, the {5-Hearts} landed on the river completing his flush and eliminate his opponent while scooping a massive pot.
