Pochedly Busted

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ryan Pochedly got his last 60,000 or so in with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} against an opponent who dominated him with {a-}{k-}. The {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop had the player with ace-king cursing but the {j-} turn and brick river sent the pot his way.

Alberto On the Upswing Again

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

A player in early position checked to George Alberto on {k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Alberto bet 30,000. The early player jammed for about 88,000 and Alberto snap-called with {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top pair and the flush draw. The draw wasn't live as he was against {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} but the river {10-Diamonds} two-paired him to seal it.

A Little Revenge

Level 13 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

With about 35,000 already in the pot, Corel Theuma had an identical bet in front of him in early position on the {j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop. Spencer Sweisford on his left had moved in for 71,500 more and Theuma tanked awhile before folding.

"I put you on a big draw," Theuma said after Sweisford showed the {a-Diamonds} with a smile.

"I got a little revenge on him," Sweisford said. "He still owes me some."

Ramdin's Barrels Work for Value

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Small blind Victor Ramdin put in a three-bet to 16,000 after someone opened in the cutoff, and the opener called to bring a {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop. Ramdin bet 8,000 and his opponent called. Ramdin bet a further 15,000 on the {q-Spades} and received another call. Both players checked the {3-} on the river and Ramdin announced ace-high.

"It's good," the other player said with a sigh, showing {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a missed combo draw.

Alberto Roughed Up With Aces Up

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

George Alberto bet 10,000 in middle position when an opponent in the small blind checked to him on {4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and the small blind called. That player then bet out 27,000 on the {6-Clubs} river and Alberto snap-called.

The small blind showed {a-}{10-} for top two.

"You got there, eh?" Alberto said, tossing in {a-}{4-}. "Nice hand."
