Ace High Good for Celestino

Ariel Celestino raised to 4,000 from the hijack seat, and Jason Somerville made the call from the button. The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}, and Celestino check-called a bet of 5,500 from Somerville.

The turn was the {7-Spades}, and Celestino checked. Somerville bet 11,500, and Celestino made the call.

The {2-Clubs} landed on the river, and both players checked.

Celestino tabled the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, which proved good as Somerville mucked his hand. Celestino won the pot and moved to 270,000 in chips.

Haxton Takes From Levy

PokerStars Team Online Member Isaac Haxton opened to 4,000 on the button, Grant Levy three-bet to 9,500 from the small blind, and Haxton called.

The dealer fanned {k-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}, Levy led out for 13,200, and Haxton called.

The turn was the {4-Clubs}, both players checked, and the river was a repeat king - the {k-Diamonds}. The two checked again.

Levy rolled over {a-}{4-} for kings and fours, but it was no good against Haxton's {q-Spades}{10-Hearts} for kings and queens.

Raghavan Shoves River Against Lichtenberger

From the cutoff seat, Andrew Lichtenberger raised to 4,000. Ravi Raghavan made the call on the button, and the player in the big blind also came along to see the flop.

On the flop, the {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{7-Clubs} fell, and action was checked to Lichtenberger. He bet 5,200, and Raghavan called. The big blind folded.

The turn was the {6-Hearts}, and both players checked to see the {Q-Diamonds} fall on the river. After Lichtenberger checked, Raghavan moved all in for right around 36,000. Lichtenberger tanked, then folded, and Raghavan won the pot.

After Doubling Early Lemke's Night Has Taken A Turn For The Worse

Brian Lemke
Brian Lemke

In the first 20 minutes of this tournament nearly 12 hours ago, Brian Lemke became the first player to double when he picked up aces and Jonathan Jaffe got frisky with {J-}{8-}. It was a great start to the day, but this last level has taken it's toll.

Lemke recently lost a race to Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger. It happened when the latter got his stack of 82,600 all in preflop with {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and was up against the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of Lemke. Both the {Q-Spades}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop and {2-Spades} turn kept Lemke in the lead, but then the {A-Hearts} spiked on the river to give Lichtenberg the come-from-behind win. Lemke was left with just 43,000.

One for the Mad Dog

With the board reading {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}, Philipp Gruissem led out for 5,500 into pot of around 12,000. Mike Watson called.

The {10-Spades} completed the board, and Gruissem slowed down, checking to Watson. The Canadian fired 8,000, sending the German into the tank. Perplexed, Gruissem started to scrunch his face as he examined the board.

Finally, he folded, and Watson pulled in the pot.
