Linderman Fades a Draw

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Barry Schultz opened to 1,050 under the gun and got three callers. On the {5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} flop, action checked to Eric Linderman, who bet 2,650 in the hijack. The player on the button shoved all in, and Linderman called after the others folded.

Linderman: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}
Button: {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

Linderman was fading queens and clubs, and he added fours and nines to that long list of outs as the {6-Diamonds} turn gave his opponent a straight draw. The {7-Diamonds} improved the player to only a lower pair though, and Linderman collected the pot.

After the hand, Linderman identified himself as the father of Christina Lindley, who was one of many women to recently come close to being the first female WPT champ when she busted fifth at an event in Paris in October 2013.

Johnny Landreth bet 5,400 on a board of {6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Spades}{10-Clubs} from the big blind, and Chris Moneymaker called in middle position. The {4-Spades} paired the board, and Landreth checked. Moneymaker took about a minute to count his stack before shoving for 11,675. Landreth called, and Moneymaker flipped {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} for sixes full. Landreth mucked, and the former Main Event champ got a nice double as an appetizer before dinner.

Mauer Busts Linderman in Monster Pot

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Eric Linderman checked from the small blind on an {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop, and Steve McCluskey bet 2,100. Scott Mauer called on the button, as did Linderman. The latter led out for 3,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn, getting a call from McCluskey before Mauer raised to 8,000. Linderman called, and McCluskey folded. On the {q-Spades} river, Linderman checked and Mauer bet 9,000. Linderman shoved all in and turned over {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, with Mauer double-checking his cards and calling with {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for better two pair. Linderman had about 15,000 on the river, and Mauer had him covered.

Trotter Jams on Moneymaker and Przygoda

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

On a board of {8-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Chris Moneymaker bet 8,000 from middle position after one player checked. Rob Przygoda called in the cutoff, and button Chris Trotter shipped it for a bit over 40,000. The first player folded, and Moneymaker sighed and followed suit. Przygoda released as well.

"Show me a card that's not a nine or a ten," Moneymaker said.

Trotter showed the {9-Clubs}, and Moneymaker smiled.

Barry Schultz

Barry Schultz was showing down {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}on a {j-Clubs}{a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Clubs} board when we arrived at his table, receiving a massive double through Chris Moneymaker. The latter's hand was already in the muck.

"So much for value shoving," Moneymaker muttered, saying he thought Schultz had ace-queen.

Cartwright Collects Another Bluff

Level 8 : 300/600, 50 ante
Kyle Cartwright
Kyle Cartwright

We found Kyle Cartwright considering an 11,000 bet from the player on the button on a completed board of {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{9-Spades}. He tanked for a couple of minutes before tossing in a call, and his opponent shook his head and showed {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, a missed flush draw. Cartwright showed {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for sevens and threes.

Attempting to bluff Cartwright has not been a profitable endeavor thus far at Hollywood Poker Open Tunica.
