Quoss is...Not Happy

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Fabian Quoss raised to 700 preflop and Andrey Bondar made it 2,000 in the seat next to him. Quoss called to see a {J-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop and then called a 2,500 bet from Bondar.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and this time Quoss check-called a bet of 6,000 and the dealer put out a {Q-Diamonds} on the river. Quoss checked for a third time and Bondar moved all in for around 7,000 or so and again he was called.

Bondar showed {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} and Quoss mucked allowing the former to double up.

Wheeling 'Em In

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Jason Wheeler opened to 800 from under the gun, Mike McDonald called in the hijack seat, and Marc-Andre Ladouceur called out of the small blind. The dealer fanned {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, Ladouceur checked, Wheeler continued for 1,300, and both of his opponents called.

The turn was a third heart - the {j-Hearts} - and again Ladouceur checked. Wheeler flicked out 1,550, McDonald atomic-dropped a call across the betting line, and Ladouceur let it go.

A fourth heart - the {9-Hearts} - completed the board, and Wheeler emptied the chamber, firing a third and final bullet worth 7,000. McDonald, who is usually quite stoic, adjusted in his seat and started stroking his non-existent beard. He sat quietly for 45 seconds or so, then folded.

Mercier Loses Four-Bet Pot

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Dori Yacoub opened to 800 in middle position, Olivier Busquet called from the cutoff, and Jason Mercier three-bet to 2,600 on the button. Yacoub put in a fourth bet, making it 4,950 to go, and only Mercier called.

The flop fell {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, and both players checked. The second the {10-Diamonds} hit the felt on the turn, Yacoub fired 7,500. Mercier folded, and Yacoub picked up the pot.

Choraria Shows for Free

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Peter Jetten raised to 800 on the button, and both Kamal Choraria (small blind) and Ike Haxton (big blind) called. All three players checked on a flop of {10-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}, and Choraria led out for 1,200 when the {6-Clubs} turned. Haxton raised to 4,000, Jetten folded, and Choraria folded the {6-Hearts} face up.

"You can see one," Haxton offered.

"No," Choraria decline. "I lost. I don't want to see."
