Peters Wins with Turn Bet

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

Lazaro Hernandez limped the hijack, and Jason Koon raised to 4,000 in the cutoff. From the small blind, David Peters three-bet to 17,000, and once Hernandez folded, Koon called.

Both players checked the {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} flop to see the {8-Clubs} fall on the turn.

Peters bet 12,000, and Koon folded.

Hernandez Respects Schindler Enough to Pay Him Off

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

Jake Schindler checked from the small blind on a completed board of {2-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{a-Spades}{5-Spades}. Laz Hernandez bet 15,500 into a pot of about 45,000 from the big blind and Schindler put in all of his big chips, 90,000. Hernandez used an extension then called.

Schindler showed {k-Spades}{7-Spades} for the turned nuts and Hernandez slapped down {q-Spades}{4-Spades} in frustration.

"Dirty one," Jason Koon observed. "If you folded there, that means you just disrespect Jake as a human being."

Marchese Doubles Through Eibinger

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

On a board of {K-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts}{6-Spades} with 26,500 in the middle, Matthias Eibinger checked out of the blinds over to Tom Marchese who bet 22,000.

Eibinger responded with a check-raise all in for 108,000, and after a little bit of time, Marchese called all in for 100,000.

Marchese: {A-Spades}{K-Spades}
Eibinger: {6-Spades}{3-Spades}

Both players held a pair and flush draw, while Eibinger had the worst of it but also had a gutshot straight draw.

The river landed the {6-Clubs}, and Marchese doubled through while Eibinger was left with just a handful of big blinds.

Greenberg Gets Some Value from Petrangelo

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

Nick Petrangelo was in the cutoff versus Larry Greenberg on the button and he check-called down on {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{4-Spades}{a-Spades}{10-Clubs}. Petrangelo called 3,000, then 8,000 then thought a bit before putting in what looked to be a reluctant call of 10,000.

Greenberg showed {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for aces up.

"Almost mucked," Petrangelo said.

Sevens for Hyman

Matt Hyman
Matt Hyman

Matt Hyman raised the button to 2,500 and Ali Imsirovic called in the big blind.

Both players checked down the {8-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} board to the river where Imsirovic bet 5,000 and Hyman called.

Imsirovic tabled his {K-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a rivered pair, but it would be Hyman's {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} that would earn him the pot.
