Rolfe Bets Big

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Alexander Rolfe
Alexander Rolfe

There was an early position limp followed by an open to 10,500 from the cutoff. It folded to the small blind where Alexander Rolfe put in a large three-bet to 35,500. Only the cutoff called.

The 8J8 landed and Rolfe went into the tank for about a minute and then led big for 70,000. His opponent mucked and he dragged the pot.

Rolfe was the winner of one of PokerStars online qualifiers on PokerStars.com. He will hope to spin that small buy-in into a big payday.

Action was joined on a flop of 527. Brian Altman was in the big blind and checked to a player in middle position who bet 6,000. Altman called.

Middle position: 22
Brian Altman: 63

The board did not pair on the river and Altman would score the knockout and a pile of chips.

Gordon Gets Past the Table Talk

Level 12 : Blinds 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

There was a limp under the gun, in middle position, and from Abraham Gordon in the small blind. The big blind checked his option and they were off to a flop.

The Q210 flop landed and Gordon led out for 4,000. The big blind folded and then the under the gun player verbally said "snap call" as he smiled and put in the chips. The last player folded and they were off to a 8 turn.

Gordon led again for 8,000. His opponent joked again saying "You're never gonna learn till you lose" as he put in the chips.

Gordon hit him back with "Fine, I check dark" as the 7 landed on the river. His opponent sat in the tank for a moment and checked it back.

Gordon tabled KQ and his opponent knuckled the table as he muck. Gordon didn't get sucked into the table talk and dragged the pot.
