Moon Triples, Mangold Out

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Jason Mangold
Jason Mangold

Matt Higgins had 13,500 in front of him from middle position, and was facing two shoves; one from Jason Mangold in the hijack for 46,600, and another from Chris Moon on the button for 24,400. Higgins pantomimed kissing his chips away before placing in a call to put both players at risk.

Chris Moon: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Jason Mangold: {q-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Matt Higgins: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Moon's queens held on a {2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Spades}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} board to earn the triple, while Higgins essentially broke even with the side pot, and Mangold was left to hit the rail.

Song Gets into A Rhythm

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

In a three-bet pot pre-flop, Stephen Song in the big blind and Bradley Heitmeyer in early position went to the flop heads up.

After the dealer laid out {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, Song fired 3,000, and Heitmeyer clicked it back for 6,000. Song quickly ripped in his stack, covering Heitmeyer, who considered his decision for a bit before mucking.

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Bradley Heitmeyer
Bradley Heitmeyer

Bradley Heitmeyer limped from early position, as did the cutoff, and the small blind completed. Action was on Stephen Song in the big blind, who raised to 4,000. Only Heitmeyer called.

The flop of {q-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{9-Spades} went check-check.

On the {4-Hearts} turn, Song checked, and Heitmeyer shoved for his remaining 10,300. Song asked for a count, threw out a handful of chips, and flipped over {a-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Heitmeyer showed his {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, drilling quads on the {4-Spades} river for the double.

Kiletto Shows a Four

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Brad Sailor raised to 1,300 from under the gun, and Lily Kiletto made the call in the big blind.

Kiletto check-called a bet of 1,500 on the {5-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Hearts} flop, and both players checked the {9-Spades} turn.

Kiletto fired 7,000 on the {9-Hearts} river, prompting Sailor to ask, "Did you mean to bet 2,500?" with a grin. Kiletto didn't respond, and Sailor folded. Kiletto revealed the {4-Diamonds} from her hand, and Sailor smirked and said, "You bluffed me!"

Michael Rossitto raised to 1,500 from the button, and was called by Eric Salazar in the small blind, as well as Austin Schaal in the big blind.
