Chouity Drops a Deuce on Raskin

Level 6 : 300/600, 75 ante

From under the gun, the 2011 PCA Main Event champion Galen Hall raised to 800. Nicolas Chouity, champion of the 2010 EPT Grand Final in Monte Carlo, three-bet to 2,300 from the hijack seat. Micah Raskin called from the button and then action folded back to Hall. He also called and action went three ways to the flop.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Hall checked. Chouity fired a bet, but the amount he announced was unheard as he tossed out a single blue T5,000 chip. Raskin raised to 10,000 and Hall folded. Chouity came back with a reraise to 18,300 and Raskin called.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and both players checked to see the {5-Clubs} land on the river. Chouity fired 23,400 and Raksin tank-folded. Chouity showed the lowly {2-Diamonds} and scooped in the pot.

The river completed the board with the {K-Clubs} and Glantz bet 16,700. Paur gave it up and Glantz won the pot.

Dan O'Brien
Dan O'Brien

With about 7,000 chips in the middle on the {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop, Dan O'Brien and Roger Tondeur raised back and forth to get all of the money in. Tondeur was the player at risk and all in for 47,175 with the {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. O'Brien had flopped top two with the {J-Spades}{10-Hearts}.

The turn was the {9-Spades} to give Tondeur some more outs to a straight. He nailed that straight when the {K-Spades} fell on the river and was able to come from behind to double up. O'Brien was knocked back to the starting stack while Tondeur moved to over 100,000.

Selbst Nearing 100K Again

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst and Michael Mizrachi, who recently re-entered, were heads up with the board reading {k-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. Mizrachi checked, Selbst fired 4,700, and Mizrachi check-raised to 11,000. Selbst called.

The {6-Clubs} completed the board, and Mizrachi instantly bet 16,000. Selbst called.

"Missed my flush," Mizrachi said, tabling {10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

"I was hoping for a diamond," Selbst responded, flipping over {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a better missed flush, and, more importantly, a pair of jacks. She raked in the pot, and now has 97,000 chips.
