Glantz Misclicks

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Glantz
Matt Glantz

After the cutoff seat raised to 2,200, Jason Mercier reraised to 4,800 from the button. Matt Glantz tossed in 2,200 from the big blind, thinking Mercier had just called. He claimed that he mistook the T1,000 chips that Mercier tossed in as T500 chips. Glantz then contemplated to call the extra 2,600 or not. Eventually he folded. The cutoff also folded and Mercier picked up the pot.

Boom Goes Papola

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 100 ante

Dennis Petronack raised from under the gun to 2,600. Mike "Little Man" Sica called from the next seat, Corey Jackson called from the hijack seat, Steve Happas called from the small blind and then Jeff Papola reraised to 12,000 from the big blind. Petronack folded and Sica called. Jackson and Happas folded after that, leaving heads-up action to the flop.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Papola bet 16,000. Sica put in a raise to 50,000 and Papola moved all in for 72,000. Sica quickly called with the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}. Papola held the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and had out-flopped Little Man.

The turn brought the {2-Hearts} and the river the {4-Spades}. Sica lost the hand and was knocked to about 25,000 in chips. Papola increased to over 150,000 in chips.

Binger Pulls Out Unlikely Win

Nick Binger
Nick Binger

In a battle of the blinds, Nick Binger and his opponent were involved in quite the raising war. Binger was in the small blind and raised, only to see his opponent three-bet to 7,200. Binger came over the top with a four-bet, before his opponent five-bet shoved with the bigger stack. Binger called all in for 57,000 total with {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, only to see his opponent table {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}.

A chop was likely, but not the case this time as the board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{9-Spades} to give Binger the ace-high flush to win the pot.
