2026 Eastern Poker Open
A player in middle position bet 2,500 on a flop of A♠10♥7♠ and was called by Andrew Camacho on the button, as well as Joe Sheehan in the big blind.
The turn was the 9♥ and Sheehan led out for 5,000. Only the middle-position player called to see the 7♦ river, where Sheehan bet another 5,000. His opponent again called.
Sheehan showed A♥10♣ for two pair, and his opponent mucked.
Mike Chafetz raised to 2,000 in middle position before an opponent in the hijack three-bet to 6,000. Chafetz then four-bet to 16,000, and his opponent called.
Chafetz continued for 6,000 on the K♦K♥8♣ flop, and his opponent called to see the A♥ turn. Chafetz then bet 15,000, and his opponent folded this time.

Players are going on the first 10-minute break of the day.
The field has grown to 65 entries so far through four levels.
Around 50,000 was already in the middle as Adam Johnson and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 8♣J♠5♣7♠. Johnson then bet 24,000 from middle position, and his opponent called in the big blind.
The river was the J♣ and Johnson moved all in. His opponent had around 40,000 remaining and leaned back in his seat, tanking for several minutes before sliding his cards into the muck.
At another table, a player in middle position three-bet to 5,000 and Jason Goldsmith moved all in for 25,800 in early position. His opponent called to put Goldsmith at risk.
Jason Goldsmith: A♥K♥
Opponent: A♦K♦
Both players showed ace-king and were poised for a chop, but the middle-position player picked up a flush draw on the 3♦6♦3♥ flop. The 6♥ turn also gave Goldsmith a flush draw, and he hit it on the 9♥ river to earn the double up.
With the deep structure of this event, all ins had been few and far between so far today, but that just changed as Dean Metta got his entire stack in the middle.
Metta and an opponent went to the turn on a board of 4♦J♣6♣4♠ where the cutoff bet 32,000. Metta then moved all in for 47,000 in middle position, and his opponent called. Metta showed A♦A♣, and his opponent was drawing thin with 2♥2♠. The river was the 10♣ and Metta earned the double up.
Five players went to a flop of 2♥7♦A♥ when Nikita Kutukov bet 3,500 from the button. Only an opponent in early position called.
Both players checked the K♣ turn. Kutukov then bet 8,000 on the 10♣ river, and his opponent again called. Kutukow showed A♦2♦ for two pair, and his opponent mucked.
A player in the small blind led out for 2,000 on a board of 6♠4♥K♦J♦ and Jason Beaulieu called in middle position, as did another opponent in the cutoff.
The river was the 9♦ and action checked to Beaulieu who bet 3,500. The cutoff then raised to 8,000 and the small blind got out of the way, but Beaulieu then reraised to 15,500. His opponent quickly called.
Beaulieu turned over Q♦10♦ for a straight flush. "One hand beats me," his opponent said as she flashed A♦3♦ for an ace-high flush before mucking.
