Reigning WSOP Champ Doesn't Care If Winter is Coming

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Reigning World Series of Poker Main Event champ Joe McKeehen opened for 3,500 from middle position and Noah Schwartz called from the cutoff. Sean Winter then three-bet to 15,700 from the button, and after ribbing his opponent about the large raise, McKeehen called. Schwartz got out of the way and it was heads-up action to the {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop.

Action went check-check, as it did on the {J-Spades} turn, and then the {J-Hearts} paired the board on the river. McKeehen bet 15,500, and Winter snap-folded.

Big Slick Does the Trick for Holz

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst opened for 3,500 from middle position and Igor Kurganov called from the cutoff. Fedor Holz, who made the trip over from the Philippines where he won the Triton Super High Roller Series $200,000 Cali Cup, then three-bet to an unknown amount from the button. Ole Schemion proceeded to four-bet to 34,600 from the small blind, Selbst tank-folded, and Kurganov five-bet jammed.

Holz called off for 143,900 total and Schemion released what he claimed was pocket nines. Selbst then stated that she had folded pocket eights.

Holz: {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Kurganov: {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades}

Kurganov managed to get the two better hands to fold, but he was not rewarded as the {4-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} flop gave Holz the lead. Neither the {Q-Diamonds} turn nor {Q-Spades} river helped Kurganov, and he sent over a good portion of his stack to the suddenly big-stacked Holz.

Perkins Drops Some to Haxton

Level 2 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Bill Perkins keeps getting involved, and this time he was up against Isaac Haxton. Haxton raised from the small blind to 5,000, and Perkins called from the big blind.

The flop brought out {K-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Haxton bet 3,500, which was raised to 7,000 by Perkins. Haxton called, and on the turn the {K-Diamonds} hit. This time Haxton check-called 7,000 and the river was the {J-Spades}.

Haxton tanked for a bit before checking, and Perkins checked behind.

"Ace high," Perkins said, as he threw his {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} on the table.

"I win," Haxton said and he showed {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} for the better ace high.

Holz Folds Turn To Mandavia

Level 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Fedor Holz bet 11,500 on the {10-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, and Ankush Mandavia raised to 30,000. After a bit of tanking, Holz called to see the {10-Spades} pair the board on the turn. Holz checked, and Mandavia fired 65,000. After a little bit of a tank, Holz folded, and Mandavia won the pot.
