Two Pair for Wright

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Larry Wright
Larry Wright

We arrived in time to see Larry Wright check a {A-Hearts}{7-Spades}{K-Clubs} flop over to Joseph Liberta. Liberta bet 650 and a third player in the hand folded his cards. Wright opted to call, leaving the two heads up to see the {4-Diamonds} on fourth street. Wright checked for a second time and Liberta opted to knuckle the table in reply.

The {Q-Hearts} finished the board and Wright checked one final time. Liberta bet 1,625 and Wright quickly announced a call, tabling {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for two pair. Liberta mucked and Wright was awarded with the pot. He now has about 20,000 in chips.

Greenwood Tank Folds

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Sam Greenwood, who is hot off a sixth place finish worth $396,920 in the $100,000 Super High Roller, was recently engaged in a hand that resulted in the loss of a fair amount of his chips.

During the hand, Greenwood and an opponent looked down at a completed board of {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Action checked to Greenwood who fired 4,000 into a pot of roughly 6,000. Greenwood's opponent came over the top with a check-raise to 14,200, sending Greenwood into the tank. Time on the clock ticked down well over four minutes while Greenwood pondered his action. Ultimately, Greenwood opted to fold his cards and he watched on as the pot was pushed to his opponent. With this hit, Greenwood's stack is down to about 22,000.

I Was Ahead the Whole Time

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Chino Rheem raised to 500 from middle position and it was folded to Andy Frankenberger in the big blind who made the call. The flop came {K-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and both players checked. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and Frankenberger check-called a bet of 700 from Rheem.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and the two decided to play it safe and check as Rheem said "alright, show me ace-jack." Frankenberger turned over {10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} for a pair of tens.

"Ten deuce," said Rheem, slightly amused.

"I was ahead the whole time," responded Frankenberger.
