Jolicoeur Makes Quads; Kaminski Hits Straight Flush One Table Over

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
David Jolicoeur
David Jolicoeur

David Jolicoeur was out of position in a heads-up pot on a board reading {j-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{a-Clubs}.

Jolicoeur led out for 12,000 on the turn and his opponent quickly called. The river brought the {2-Spades} and Jolicoeur moved all-in for around 35,000.

His heads-up opponent tanked for several minutes as he thought through a decision.

"This is either really bad or really good," the opponent said before putting in a call.

"It's really good," Jolicoeur said, apparently referring to his own hand as he tabled {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for quad aces.

The opponent, who showed {q-Spades}{j-Hearts} was left with crumbs and eliminated in the next hand when he moved in with {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and ran into the {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} of an opponent, who didn't get his kings cracked.

Just minutes later at the next table over, Lisa Kaminski hit an even rarer hand when she made a straight flush to double-up and crack an opponent's set. Kaminski held {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against the opponent's {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} on a board of {8-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

Kaminski told PokerNews she moved in on the turn with her gutshot straight flush draw, running into the oponent's turned set but ultimately getting there to make the coveted straight flush.

Bold Shows a King

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

The hijack opened to 1,800 and The cutoff flat-called, as did the small blind and Justin Bold in the big blind.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Spades} and Bold led out with a bet of 5,000, which got folds from all three of his opponents. Bold showed he wasn't playing around by tabling the {k-Spades} for top pair and potentially more.

River Raise Wins it for Compton

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

John Compton was under the gun and saw a flop against the big blind and a middle position player.

The big blind led out with a bet of 8,000 on the {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop and only Compton called. The opponent slowed down and checked on the {5-Diamonds} turn and Compton rapidly checked back.

The big blind bet a small 5,000 on the {k-Spades} river and Compton put in a raise to 15,000.

"I shoulda just checked," the opponent said softly before folding.

Rafhat Doubles With Ace-King

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

Ali Rafhat was all-in preflop for around 11,500 against an opponent who had him well-covered.

Ali Rafhat: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}

Rafhat had his opponent dominated and the board ran out {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs} to earn him a double, albeit barely putting a dent into the stack of his opponent.
