Big Slick Does the Trick for Peters

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Jeff Peters
Jeff Peters

Jeff Peters opened for 1,100 under the gun and the player in the cutoff called. The rest of the players got out of the way and the duo saw a flop of {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{2-Diamonds}.

Action went check-check and the dealer burned and turned the {3-Clubs}. Peters put out a delayed continuation-bet of 1,000 and the cutoff called.

Both players returned to checking on the {4-Spades} river. Peters tabled the {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} for top pair and it was good as his opponent sent his hand to the muck.

Adams Shows the Aces

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante
Justin Adams
Justin Adams

Justin Adams was under the gun and opened for 1,100. The player on the button called, as did the big blind, and the trio took a flop of {4-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

The player in the big blind checked, Adams continued for 2,200, and the button folded. The big blind opted to call and then checked for the second time after the dealer burned and turned the {10-Diamonds}.

Adams kept the pressure on with a bet of 5,000 and it did the trick as the player in the big blind released.

Adams then showed the table his {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}.

Calenzo in the House

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante
Kevin Calenzo
Kevin Calenzo

Kevin Calenzo just took a seat in the Flight D field, which isn’t good news for the rest of the players. With more than $1.4 million in live tournament earnings, Calenzo is a force to be reckoned with at the table.

The two-time World Series of Poker Circuit ring winner had his best cash of $197,451 back in 2012 when he took down the WSOP Circuit Caesars Palace $1,600 Main Event. His only other six-figure score came when he placed third in the 2012 WSOP Event #37: $2,500 8-Game for $106,564.

Other highlights on his poker resumé include second in the 2015 Wynn Classic $2,100 NLH for $82,024, first in the 2010 Borgata Poker Open $1,090 NLH for $79,307, and ninth in the 2011 Borgata Poker Open $3,500 Championship for $77,569. In 2017, he also made a deep run in the WSOP Main Event finishing 84th out of 7,221 players for $72,514.

Calenzo has returned to the Borgata in search of another BPO title.

"I'll Show One Card"

Level 5 : 300/600, 600 ante

Two-time WSOP bracelet winner Ryan Eriquezzo raised to 1,500 from early position and the player in the hijack called. The big blind did the same and the three players saw a flop of {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

The big blind checked, Eriquezzo continued for 2,000, and the hijack folded. The big blind called and the {3-Clubs} appeared on the turn.

The big blind checked for the second time and this time folded to a bet of 6,500 from Eriquezzo.

"I'll show one," offered Eriquezzo, who was getting a massage and having a good time with his tablemates. The big blind pointed to one and Eriquezzo flipped over the {j-Spades}.
