Kisacikoglu Gets a Fold from Rettenmaier

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Marvin Rettenmaier and Orpen Kisacikoglu went heads-up to a flop of {j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. Kisacikoglu checked from the big blind and Rettenmaier tossed in a bet of 4,200 in middle position. Kisacikoglu called and the {j-Clubs} paired the board on the turn.

Both players checked this time and the {q-Diamonds} landed on the river. Kisacikoglu tossed in a bet of 20,000 and Rettenmaier thought for a minute before tossing his cards away.

"I had three pair and a flush draw," Rettenmaier pointed out, hinting that he folded {q-Spades}{9-Spades}. "Some of these hands today."

Loeser Picks Off a Bluff with Ace-High

Level 6 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Manig Loeser opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was called by John Krpan on the button. The flop came {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Loeser checked to Krpan who fired out a bet of 5,500. Loeser check-raised to 15,000 and Krpan called.

The turn brought the {4-Clubs} and both players checked to the {5-Diamonds} on the river. Loeser quickly checked again and Krpan tossed in a bet of 16,500. Loeser wasted no time in calling and Krpan flipped over {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Loeser held {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for just ace-high but it was good enough to grab the chips.

Aido's Tens Hold Up

Level 5 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kristen Bicknell opened to 2,200 in early position and was called by Sergio Aido in the hijack along with the big blind. The three players saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The action checked to Aido who tossed in a bet of 3,000 which only the big blind called.

The turn was the {j-Clubs} and the big blind check-called another bet of 7,500 from Aido. The river brought the {6-Clubs} and with four cards to a straight on the board, both players knuckled the table. The big blind turned over {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts} and Aido showed his {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} to scoop the pot.
