Selbst Slips a Bit

Vanessa Selbst opened to 500 in late position, a player on the button flatted, and the dealer fanned {k-Clubs}{a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {3-Hearts}, Selbst silently tossed out 700, and her opponent called.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board, and Selbst slowed down, checked to her opponent who fired 1,350. Selbst quickly folded, but is still above the starting stack.

Dentale Picks Off Schwartz's Bluff

With the board reading {K-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Justin Schwartz bet 10,000 after the river into a healthy pot. Mike Dentale tanked for a bit and appeared ready to fold, before talking himself into a call.

Schwartz didn't want to see that and turned over {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for air. Dentale stood up and tabled {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for kings and eights to win the pot.

"Matty matt matt," said an excited Dentale to Matt Glantz, who was nearby. "They can't bluff me!"

Baumstein and Patel Avoid the Trap

Scott Baumstein opened to 450 in early position, and was called by four players including Raj Patel. The flop fell {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, the action checked to Baumstein, and he tossed out 900. Patel and a player in the small blind called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, all three players checked, and the river was the {2-Diamonds}. The trio knuckled again.

"F***!" the player in the small blind uttered when Patel checked on the river.

He unhappily tabled {9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} for a straight, and raked in the pot.

Re-Clicking It Back

Aaron Massey
Aaron Massey

Daryl Jace, Aaron Massey, and a third player saw a flop of {k-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. The action checked to Massey, who tossed out three brown T100 chips. Both of his opponents called.

The turn was the {a-Diamonds}, and the action checked to Massey, who fired 425. Only Jace called.

The river was the {a-Spades}, Jace checked a third time, and Massey bet 2,225. Jace tanked, then effectively min-raised to 4,500. Massey quickly clicked it back, effectively min-re-raising to 7,000. Jace laughed, then called.

Massey turned over {a-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a full house, and Jace mucked his hand. When he did, the {q-Diamonds} flipped over - we can bet you know what the other card was.

DeepStacks Pro Update

Mike Matusow's seat has been empty since the beginning of Level 3. We've been informed that a tired Matusow went up to his room for a nap.

"The Mouth" is sleeping on a comfortable stack of about 36,600, so no rush for him to return yet. Sweet dreams, Mike.

Ostrander Check-Raises Turn

Greg Ostrander, who won a bracelet in Event 41: $3,000 No-Limit Hold'em at the 2012 World Series of Poker, saw a flop of {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. He checked, his opponent fired 800, and Ostrander called.

The turn was the {10-Hearts}, Ostrander checked again, and his opponent tossed out 1,200. Ostrander put in a check-raise. His opponent mucked, and Ostrander tabled {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

Selbst Shoves

Vanessa Selbst and an opponent each committed 1,600 preflop to see an {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop.

A check from her opponent led to Selbst betting 1,800. Her opponent quickly called and both players checked the {Q-Diamonds} turn. When the {J-Spades} landed on the river, the middle-position player fired 3,100. Selbst took about 15 seconds before quietly announcing all in, having her opponent's remaining 25,000-ish well covered.

A quick fold sent the chips Selbst's way.
