Greenberg Three-Bets & Check-Raises

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,500 ante

Ben Tollerene raised to 3,500 on the button and Lawrence Greenberg three-bet to 14,000 from the small blind. Tollerene made the call and the flop came {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}.

Greenberg checked and Tollerene took the opportunity to bet 12,000. However, Greenberg was setting the trap and check-raised to 30,000. Tollerene quickly threw his cards away and the pot was shipped to Greenberg.

Here is a look at how the rest of Table 6 stacks up.

Adams Shoves on a Wet Board

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams

The pot had just over 20,000 in the middle and Lawrence Greenberg bet 8,000 from the cutoff on a board reading {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. Brandon Adams raised to 26,000 on the button and Greenberg made the call.

The river double-paired the board with the {10-Diamonds} and Greenberg led out again for 42,000. With a three-card straight flush on the board and multiple possibilities of a full house, Adams didn't shy away from his hand. He shoved all-in for around 140,000 and Greenberg mucked his cards.

An Orbit w/ Daniel Negreanu

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu
Daniel Negreanu

We thought it might be fun to observe Daniel Negreanu for an orbit, which meant six hands given there are six players at his table. He began with right around 195,000. Here's how things played out:

Hand #1 (Big Blind): Cary Katz raised to 3,000 from the button and won the hand after Negreanu folded from the big blind.

Hand #2 (Small Blind): David Peters raised the button and then called when Negreanu three-bet to 13,000. Both players then checked the {7-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop before Negreanu bet 20,000 on the {4-Diamonds} turn. Peters called and then both players returned to checking on the {9-Spades} river. Negreanu showed the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a missed flush, and Peters tabled the {5-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a missed flush of his own, but also for a winning pair of sevens.

Hand #3 (Button): Justin Bonomo raised to 2,500 under the gun and Negreanu folded the button.

Hand #4 (Cutoff): Peters raised to 2,500 from the hijack and Negreanu popped it to 8,500. The button and blinds all folded, Peters called, and the flop fell {a-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. Peters checked, Negreanu bet 5,500, and Peters woke up with a check-raise to 20,000. Negreanu folded.

Hand #5 (Hijack): Negreanu opened for 3,000 and Cary Katz defended from the big blind. The two proceeded to check it down as the board ran out {4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and "Kid Poker" won the pot with his {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}.

Hand #6: (UTG): Negreanu raised to 3,000 and swiped the blinds and antes.

Seiver Check-Raises Haxton

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Isaac Haxton opened to 2,500 from under the gun, and both Scott Seiver and Steffen Sontheimer called in the blinds.

The flop landed {K-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} and all three players checked to see the repeating {3-Hearts} fall on the turn.

Seiver and Sontheimer checked to Haxton who bet out 7,500. Seiver responded with a check-raise to 27,000 and Sontheimer quickly folded.

Haxton folded soon after, and Seiver was pushed the pot.
