Alpandinar Flops the Joint

Kirk Brown

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a flop of Q♥A♣K♠, Benjamin Harris and Frank Alpandinar got all of the chips into the middle, with Harris at risk.

Harris tabled A♦K♣ for a monster hand of top two-pair, but it was in second place when Alpandinar rolled over J♣10♣ for the nut straight.

The board ran out 4♦3♣, failing t pair the board and Harris was sent to the rail while the pot was shipped over to Alpandinar.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a heads-up flop of 3♦8♠7♥, Christopher McCauley check-called a bet of 4,000 from Vivek Shingala to see the 8♣ peel off on the turn.

McCauley checked again, and Shingala continued for 9,500, which Mcauley called after some pause. The river fell the 7♠, double-pairing the board and McCauley checked once more. Shingala then downbet to 6,000, to which McCauley responded by putting him all in. Shingala thought about it for a second but made the call and tabled A♠A♣ for top two-pair, but it was no match for McCauley's quads with 8♥8♦.

Mcaulety was awarded the pot to boost him up to over 70,000 while Shingala was sent to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After some preflop shenanigans, Firas Elsahili, Robert Valden, and Rolando Lozano got all the money in the middle with Valden covering.

Firas Elsahili: K♦9♦
Rolando Lozano: Q♦Q♣
Robert Valden: Q♥Q♠

"Well that's what I want to see!" Elsahill joked, but unfortunately for him, the board ran out 5♥9♠6♣7♣3♦ for his oppoennts' queens to hold to chop him up while he was sent out.
