A Gift For Bronshtein

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

We arrived at the table and found about 6,600 in the pot on a board reading {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}. An older gentlemen bet 3,000 and Yuval Bronshtein responded by shoving with the bigger stack. After a few moments, Bronshtein's opponent called all in for about another 20,000.

Bronshtein: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}

It couldn't have been much less of a sweat for Bronshtein. His opponent found no miracle turn and river, helping to up Bronshtein's stack to about 70,000.

Three Weis Tens

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

On a {10-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} board, Melaine Weisner and a fellow tablemate checked to a player in late position who bet 4,450. Weisner tanked for a very long time before calling and the third player released his cards.

The river was the {10-Diamonds} and Weisner calmly gathered all of her 17,600 chips and cooly plopped them in the middle. Her opponent called immediately, only to muck his hand upon seeing Meisner's {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for trip tens.

Thanks to the double up Weisner is now up to 40,000 chips.

Hachem Chips Up

Level 7 : 300/600, 75 ante

With about 9,000 in the pot and the board reading {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Spades}{9-Spades}, an opponent checked to Joe Hachem. After a few moments, Hachem settled on a bet of 7,500. His opponent called, but mucked when Hachem tabled {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

With that pot, Hachem increased his stack to about 54,000.

Bach Bests Habernig

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

David Bach was under the gun and raised to 1,525 and received a single caller in the form of young Matthias Habernig in the hijack. Bach continuation bet 2,000 on the {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts} flop and again Habernig called.
