Smith Doubles Through Colman

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Dan Smith
Dan Smith

The board read {2-Clubs}{10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and there was already over 55,000 in the middle when Dan Smith faced a bet of 28,000 from Daniel Colman. Smith called to see a river.

The {k-Hearts} completed the board and Colman announced an all in bet. Smith quickly called off his last 62,900 and triumphantly tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} for a full house of queens full of tens. Colman mucked his hand and Smith was able to score a double.

"That a nice turn, Dan," said Colman. "How'd you do that?"

Smith flashed a grin back while he stacked his chips.

"My life is not bad but yours is just so much better," continued Colman. "How nice is your life?"

"I'm not complaining," replied a smiling Smith.

Not complaining indeed, as he is now sitting on 255,000 in chips while Colman's stack has been reduced to 62,000.

Weird One for Winter

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Five players saw a flop of {2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, including Antonio Esfandiari, Jude Ainsworth, and Sean Winter. The action folded to Esfandiari, who tossed out 6,700 near the button. Ainsworth called in the small blind, Winter check-raised to 15,700, and the action folded back to Esfandiari. He considered the bet before folding, and then Ainsworth re-raised, plopping 34,000 in front of him. Winter called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs}, both players checked, and the {4-Hearts} completed the board. The pair knuckled once again, and Ainsworth showed {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for a pair of kings. Winter had that beat with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} for a pair of aces, and the two shared a laugh as the American raked in the pot.

Amanda Musumeci vs. Maria Ho

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

With about 45,000 in the pot and the board reading {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}, Maria Ho checked to Amanda Musumeci who bet 16,200. Ho called after a few moments to see {2-Hearts} river, which she checked. Musumeci took about 45 seconds before she shoved for roughly 52,000, which sent Ho into the tank for a good 90 seconds before she folded.

Double Up For Dos Santos

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Brazilian poker player Alessandra Correa Dos Santos just moved all in after a raise for 35,400 and the initial raiser made the call.

Dos Santos: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and even though four hearts showed up neither player made a flush. Dos Santos doubled up and her opponent was left with just a few thousand chips.

Baron Takes One Out

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After an under-the-gun raise to 4,500 and a call from the player on the button, Isaac Baron shoved from the small blind for 23,500. The original raiser called all in for a little less, while the player on the button folded.

Baron tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and defeated his opponent's {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} when the board ran out {Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds}.

No Suckout For You, Bro

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Facing a standard open, Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree three-bet in the cutoff. Eugene Todd "Bro" put in a four-bet, and the action folded back to Boeree, who moved all in for 33,100. Todd instantly called.

Boeree: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Todd: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Boeree was an 87 percent favorite heading into the flop, but when the dealer fanned {8-Spades}{k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, her odds plummeted to 55 percent.

Fortunately for her, both the turn ({2-Diamonds}) and the river ({8-Diamonds}) were both bricks, and Boeree doubled to 76,000 chips. Todd fell to 44,000.
