Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Jeff Madsen opened to 9,000 from late position and watched as the big blind player three-bet to 25,000.

I'll Take That Beer

[user272102]

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Matt Stout had just purchased a beer for his friend Christina Lindley. She took a sip, and moved all in for her last 69,500. It was folded around to Stout who called her all in. Everyone folded and Stout turned over .

"Wow," said Lindley, tapping the table twice as she turned over .

The board ran out to end Lindley's tournament.

"Good game hon," said Stout.

Some of the guys at the table gave Stout crap for knocking out Lindley and he retorted "what was I supposed to do, fold?"

Yes, said several of the guys, laughing.

Stout then reached across the table and grabbed the beer Lindley had left behind. "I'm not afraid of her germs," he said, taking a healthy swig.

A Charmed Life

[user253757]

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Loni Harwood opened to 9,000 from the hijack and Eric Afriat used his overwhelming chip lead to play the big stack bully. He popped the action to 23,000 with a three-bet from the button, and only Harwood came along.

The flop fell and Harwood checked to the aggressor, who played the part with a smallish wager of 14,000. Harwood flatted and fourth street brought the to the felt, and once again Harwood knuckled the felt. Afriat continued his line with a 25,000 bet, with Harwood calling quickly and the river falling .

A third tap of the table by Harwood prompted Afriat to cut out a bet 75,000 and place it forward, and Harwood wasted little time in looking him up, only to wince noticeably when Afriat tabled with the look of a man who hasn't lost a pot for the last week. After winning the 2014 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown for $1,081,184 just six days ago, Afriat is playing with confidence and swagger - a combination that his tablemates should rightly fear.
