Eischens Wins Another Battle With Farrell

Level 3 : 75/150, 25 ante

Terrance Eischens, who was Niall Farrell's antagonist in an earlier pot, just went to war with him again after Farrell opened for 400 under the gun and Eischens made it 1,200 on his left. Action folded back to Farrell, who called. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and Farrell check-called 1,350. He check-called another 4,000 on the {6-Clubs} turn, and a {5-Clubs} made it four to a straight on board. Farrell checked and saw his opponent fire a third bullet of 11,575. Farrell debated for about two minutes before deciding to muck.

Eischens' tablemates asked him to show the bluff but he just smiled and mucked.

Sergio Aido, a Spansih player with over $1.1 million in cashes, just took a seat at the same table.

Harrison Pays Yunis After Doubling Up

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Corey Harrison doubled up with {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} on a board of {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades} against Niall Farrell, but he gave some of that back in the very next hand after he check-called a bet of 2,000 from Nick Yunis on a board of {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}. Harrison checked again on the {q-Diamonds} river and Yunis bet 6,500. Harrison shook his head but called nonetheless, and Yunis showed {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a boat. Harrison mucked {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} face-up.

Sam C Gets a Knockout

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

A player who identified only as "Sam C." bet 1,500 under the gun on a {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs} flop, and a player in the hijack raised to 3,675. The big blind moved all in for 4,550 and both opponents called. Sam C. checked the {5-Diamonds} turn and then shoved all in over a bet, seeing his opponent fold immediately.

Sam C.: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Big blind: {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

Both had flopped flushes but the big blind was drawing dead.

Pelton Fights Back

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Chan Pelton has seen a number of players three-bet his opens in the early going, and he had it happen once again after he raised from under the gun when Nick Yunis made it 1,500 to go. Pelton came with a four-bet to an unknown amount, which Yunis called, and the two saw a {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop. Pelton bet 2,900 and Yunis called. On the {9-Clubs} turn, Pelton moved all in and the dealer couldn't even bring the bet in before Yunis folded.

Pelton has been on a tear on the HPT with three final tables in the past year, including a win.

Pleasant Surprise for Yunis

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

A player in early position raised to an unknown amount with a single T1,000 chip, and Terrance Eischens reraised to 2,050 in the hijack. Nick Yunis cold-called in the big blind, and the opener came along to a {7-Spades}{5-Spades}{10-Clubs} flop. Everyone checked, and action was the same on the {a-Hearts} turn. Nick Yunis bet 4,000 on the {8-Diamonds} river, and the player under the gun called.

Yunis figured he was beat, but his {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} was good against {4-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Niall Farrell busted out at that same table.

Buell Finds a Nice River

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Stephen Buell bet 2,500 against two opponents on a {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop, and Terrance Eischens in the cutoff was the only taker. Eischens called another barrel of 3,500 on the {q-Spades} turn, and Buell emptied the clip all in for 9,500 on the {a-Diamonds} river. Eischens thought briefly before splashing in a call, but he couldn't beat Buell's {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}.

Sam Panzica also took a seat at the spot vacated by Niall Farrell.
