Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Nick Yunis bet 30,000 from the cutoff on a board of 8♣5♦5♣ before Frank Lagodich raised to 60,000 in the big blind. Yunis called and the 9♣ fell on the turn.

Lagodich then bet 33,000 and Yunis again called. The 9♠ river was checked down, and Lagodich showed J♠5♠ for a full house to win the pot.

At another table, Claire Longo had moved all in for her last 60,000 from the hijack and Jae Yi put her at risk under the gun.

Claire Longo: A♥10♠ All in
Jae Yi: A♠J♥

The 4♣Q♥6♣7♠8♥ board was no help to Longo, and Yi took the pot with his jack-kicker to send her to the rail.

"Do something good with them," Longo said to Yi as her chips were pushed over to him.

"Like give them to me," tablemate John Sacha added.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ian O'Hara raised it up in middle position and Jack Hardcastle just called from the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of K♠Q♠2♣ and O'Hara continued with a bet of 18,000, which Hardcastle called.

The turn was the 3♥ and O'Hara sized up a bet of 52,000 this time. Hardcastle still called and the 9♦ completed the board. O'Hara opted to check this time and Hardcastle quickly knuckled it back. O'Hara tabled A♠8♠ for a missed flush draw and Hardcastle showed A♦Q♦ for the lone pair.

Too Many Outs For Wang Against Moreno

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andrew Moreno three-bet to 37,000 in the small blind before Jonathan Wang moved all in for 130,000 on the button. Moreno snap-called.

Jonathan Wang: K♥J♥ All in
Andrew Moreno: A♣J♠

Moreno had Wang dominated, but the Q♥9♥8♦ flop gave Wang straight and flush draws. The 9♣ turn was no help to Wang, while he also whiffed the 5♦ river and headed to the rail.

"I didn't think I was going to win that one," Moreno said.

"You deserved it," another tablemate added.

"Don't use the 'd' word at the poker table," Moreno replied.
