Musumeci Runs Into Aces

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Amanda Musumeci
Amanda Musumeci

We just caught Amanda Musumeci in a big hand against PokerStars Qualifier Leo Liberal from Brazil. Liberal was the initial raiser after which the player on his left called and Musumeci three-bet from the big blind.

Liberal proceeded to move all in for 13,075 total and the player on his left folded. Musumeci quickly made the call.

Musumeci: {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Liberal: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Spades}{4-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and Liberal received a full double up. Musumeci was left with 9,000 chips, which is still 45 big blinds in the current level.

"I'll Show You One Time"

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Vanessa Selbst
Vanessa Selbst

PokerStars Team Pro Vanessa Selbst raised to 500 from under the gun plus one. Paul Volpe called from the button and the small blind folded. Gary Ackerman looked down at his cards in the big blind and tossed out a single yellow T1,000 chip. The dealer announced that it was a call but Ackerman protested, stating that he intended to raise. Since he only tossed out a single chip, it was regarded as a call and there would be no more action before the flop.

The dealer fanned {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} on the felt and Ackerman was first to act. He bet 700 and Selbst came right over the top for 3,000 total. Volpe tossed away his hand and action was back on Ackerman. He cut into his stack and came out with a raise, making the action 6,000 to go. Selbst wasted little time moving forward a stack that included all of her blue T5,000 chips as well as some yellows.

Ackerman went into the tank while he pondered calling off his final roughly 18,000 in chips. He went back and forth, counting his stack again and again while mulling over his decision. After almost two minutes in the tank, Ackerman folded {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} face up and the pot was pushed to Selbst.

Despite raking in the pot, Selbst sat shaking her head.

"I'll show you one time," said the Team Pro, tabling {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} for top set. "He misclicked preflop," she went on to say to a player seated next to her, remarking about the potential missed value with her aces against Ackerman's kings.

Despite this fact, Selbst is still thriving early on Day 1 with about 48,000 in chips.

Aces For Julius

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We arrived at the table as Rens Feenstra called a reraise of 2,625 in the cutoff from Kyle Julius, who was in early position.

The flop came down {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}, both checked, and the {8-Hearts} landed on the turn. Julius bet 2,500 and Feenstra quickly called to see the {3-Hearts} river. After a few moments, Julius bet 7,150. Feenstra called after about 45 seconds, but mucked when Julius tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.
