Worden Tank-Folds

Worden tanked about two minutes and then released.

Snuffer Rivers Straight

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was joined with 23,500 in the pot on a flop of {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Spades}. The big blind checked and Iverson Cotton Snuffer bet 11,000. A player in middle position folded, and the big blind called to take the hand heads up to the {q-Hearts} turn. Both players checked, and the river was the {j-Clubs}. The big blind bet 32,000 and was snap called by Snuffer.

Upon the snap call, Snuffer turned over {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} for the straight and his opponent mucked his cards.

Pupillo Sent to Join His Brother

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Nick Pupillo
Nick Pupillo

Nick Pupillo jammed in the hijack for 23,500 and the player on the button ripped over him to fold out the blinds, showing {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

"Best hand I could see," Pupillo said, turning over {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}.

The {k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} board gave him plenty of outs but the {4-Diamonds} river wasn't one of them.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Iverson Cotton Snuffer
Iverson Cotton Snuffer

We just caught up with Iverson Cotton Snuffer about a big pot he just won. There was a multi-way limped pot that saw a flop come {a-}{k-}{4-}. Action was checked to the player on his direct right, who bet 6,000. Snuffer called from the cutoff, as did the player in the small blind. Action on the turn was three ways, and the dealer turned over a {5-}. It was checked to Snuffer, who bet 10,000. Both players called, and the river came a {7-}. The small blind checked, and the hijack went all in for 37,000. Snuffer went in over him for about 42,000 and the small blind folded.

Hijack: {a-}{6-}
Snuffer: {a-}{8-}

Snuffer's call with top pair had his opponent outkicked on the small board, and he collected the pot and knockout.

Dellaria Has Heaps

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Six players were in a limped pot to a flop of {4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Spades} and action was checked to a player in middle position who bet 12,000. Stan Jablonski folded from the cutoff and Frank Dellaria made the call from the button before the rest of the table folded. Following the {4-Clubs} turn, the player in middle position fired another bet of 15,000. Dellaria called again, bringing the {8-Diamonds} river. The player in middle position bet 17,200, and Dellaria looked over to his opponent and asked how much he had behind. After seeing about 35,000 back, he shoved all in and was called.

Frank Dellaria: {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}
Middle Position: {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Dellaria's full house was good to take down the pot and he now has a massive stack in front of him.

Pelekh on Crumbs

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Zinoviy Pelekh bet 3,800 from the big blind on {4-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{10-Spades} and the player under the gun called. On the {2-Clubs} river, Pelekh eyed his opponent, who seemed to be loading up chips, and checked. That player did splash some in, 6,000, and Pelekh mucked in a hurry.

Esquivel Needs a Crest

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Mikey Esquivel
Mikey Esquivel

The tide is low for Mikey Esquivel, who needs some heat after his most recent dip leaves him below 20 big blinds.

In one recent pot he dropped, Lydia Waltonbaugh checked in middle position on {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Spades}{j-Clubs} and Esquivel bet 5,600. Waltonbaugh called and both players quickly checked the {q-Hearts} river. Waltonbaugh revealed {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for a pair and a missed flush draw but the sixes were good.
