Deeb Backs Into a Flush

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

Shaun Deeb entered late, but got involved straight away. On the first hand he played, Deeb check-called a bet of 2,525 on the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} board against Stephen Chidwick to see the {8-Spades} land on the turn. Deeb checked again, and Chidwick fired 5,575. Deeb called.

The river completed the board with the {7-Spades}, and both players quickly checked to get to a showdown.

Deeb tabled the {K-Spades}{J-Spades} for top pair that backed into a flush, and Chidwick mucked his hand.

Les Makes a Full House

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante
Jason Les
Jason Les

Jason Les had his bet check-raised on a paired {K-}{7-}{2-}{7-} board before seeing a {5-} come out on the river. Les' opponent fired 15,000, and Les made the call.

The first player showed {8-}{7-} for trips, but that lost to Les' {2-}{2-} for a full house.

Wyraz's Stack Growing

Level 1 : 100/200, 25 ante

After a raise from Greenwood, and two calls, Grzegorz Wyraz in the big blind squeezed to 2,825 from the big blind. All three of them made the call and a rather large pot was built.

All four of them checked on {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{5-Spades}, and the {7-Clubs} hit the turn. Again Wyraz checked, and so did Greenwood. The third player bet out 6,000 and Mickey Petersen folded, but Wyraz made the call, Greenwood folded.

The river came the {8-Spades} and Wyraz lead out for 13,000. His opponent made the call, but folded after seeing {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for the ace-high flush.

Grzegorz Wyraz, who made a deep run in the Main Event, is up to

"You Gotta Report This Hand" - Full House Versus Quads

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

Jason Les called us over and told us about a hand he thought was worth reporting on. Well we agree, as pots where a top full house is no good, don't come around all that often.

Niall Farrell opened, and received a call from Paul Vas Nunes before Denis Kipnis squeezed. Both Farrell and Vas Nunes made the call and it was three-way to the flop.

Farrell and Vas Nunes checked to Kipnis who made his continuation bet on {6-}{6-}{Q-}. They would go three-way to the turn as both Farrell and Vas Nunes called yet again.

All three of them checked the {8-} on the turn, and the {Q-} fell on the river to complete the board. Farrell checked again, and Vas Nunes bet out. Kipnis folded, but Farrell had other plans. The FTOPS winner squeezed all in and Vas Nunes made the call.

Vas Nunes had not too bad a hand with {Q-}{10-}, but it would soon go into the muck as Farrell showed {6-}{6-}.

Nice Value Bet by Brito

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

The player under the gun opened for 600, and Giuseppe Pantaleo on the button, Fernando Britto in the small blind, and Max Greenwood in the big blind all called.

All four of them checked on {Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and the {2-Spades} hit the turn. Brito, who won the High Roller here back in 2010, bet out 1,250 and Greenwood and the initial raiser quickly released their hands. Pantaleo made the call in position.

The {Q-Clubs} on the river paired the board and Brito bet out 1,800. Pantaelo made the call.

"Nine" said Brito while showing {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Pantaleo mucked.

Leo Fernandez
Leo Fernandez

Leo Fernandez opened the button to 600, and Marc Etienne McLaughlin in the big blind was the sole caller.

McLaughlin check called a 600 bet on {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{8-Spades}, and both players checked the {2-Clubs} turn. The {J-Spades} fell on the river and McLaughlin bet out 1,100.

Fernandez thought about it for quite some time, but eventually released his hand.
