Matthew Wantman Chipping Up

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Picking up the action after the turn of a {K-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board, Matthew Wantman (middle position) was facing a bet of 2,200 from his opponent on the button. Wantman check-raised to 6,300 and his opponent called.

The river was the {9-Spades} and Wantman bet 13,000. His opponent called.

Wantman flipped over his hand and revealed the {8-Diamonds}, but his second card was not visible. The dealer slid the card to find the second, but it still was not visible. Wantman then reached for it and separated his two stuck cards to reveal {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush. His opponent mucked and Wantman collected the pot.

Alex Foxen Shoves

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Alex Foxen (early position) and Christopher Choy (button) each committed about 7,600 to see a flop of {J-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}.

Foxen bet 6,200, Choy called, and the {K-Hearts} fell on the turn. Foxen shoved for effectively 21,000-ish, sending Choy into the tank for about three minutes before the clock was called. Choy mulled it over, but folded as the time ran out.
