Menard Has Tons of Heart

Chad Holloway

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

After Salman Behbehani raised from the cutoff, Jeremy Menard three-bet jammed for 29,200 from the button. Action folded back to Behbehani, who called, and Menard discovered the bad news.

Menard:
Behbehani:

Menard had major kicker issues, but he got some help when the flop delivered him a flush draw. The turn didn't complete it, but the river did. An excited Menard sat back down and stacked the chips.

We found Davidi Kitai with 18,000 in front of him in the big blind, pondering a decision for most of his stack on an board. Cutoff Thiago Nishijima had shipped it in for 70,100, and Kitai put in a stack of chips after thinking another two minutes or so.

Nishijima:
Kitai:

Kitai needed a diamond against the made flush, and the was not enough help as it gave him a mere two pair. The three-time bracelet winner is in dire straits now.

A Possible Gift

Brentharrington

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Karl Oddsen just took down a pot against Christopher Mcnamara, when he bet 26,000 on the river and Mcnamara folded.

The action started when Fedor Holz raised from early position to 4,000. Then Oddsen raised from the small blind to 13,000. Mcnamara called and Holz folded.

The flop came and Oddsen bet 13,000. Mcnamara called and the two players saw the hit the turn. They both checked.

The came on the river and Oddsen bet 26,000. Mcnamara didn't seem to want to fold, as it took him about two minutes in the tank to decide to fold.

"No gifts," said Mcnamara, "laying it down might have been a gift."
