Corvino Takes Sneaky Line

Jeremy Geist

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was an early position open from William Corvino to 12,000. The button and the big blind both called.

The J♦2♥Q♦ flop landed and action checked to the button who put out a bet of 16,000. Only Corvino called.

The 6♣ landed on the turn and Corvino checked again. The button slowed down and checked back.

The K♥ landed on the river and Corvino took a moment before leading for just two big blinds to 12,000. The button went into the tank and seemed to have a frustrating decision. Eventually he found a fold and Corvino smiled as he slowly slid in his cards and dragged the pot.

Himmelbrand Bombs the Turn

Jeremy Geist

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

There was a cutoff open from Adam Reese to 17,000 before Gregory Himmelbrand three-bet from the button to 55,000. It folded back to Reese who called.

The Q♠2♣7♥ flop landed and Reese checked it over to Himmelbrand who continued for 45,000. Reese called.

The turn brought an A♠ and after a moment in the tank Reese checked it over to Himmelbrand. He didn't take long before putting out a sizeable bet of 105,000.

Reese took his time and stared down Himmelbrand but eventually thought better of a call and mucked.

Himmelbrand dragged the pot and holds a top three stack.

The cards hit their backs.

John Kostelac: A♦K♥
Azamat Isakov: A♥Q♦

The full board ran out 10♥K♣5♥5♦Q♠ and Kostelac would earn the pure double at a pivotal time as the bubble approaches.

Potis Gets Crucial River

Jeremy Geist

Level 18 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded to Anthony Potis on the button who moved all in for about 85000. It made it to the big blind who got a count and then called.

Anthony Potis: Q♦J♦
Big blind: 4♦4♠

The 5♥8♥8♠ flop hit the felt and Potis was live but needed help. The A♦ landed on the turn and he began to get up and gather his things. Right on time the dealer burned and turned the A♠ and with just queen-high Potis would get a pure double at a crucial moment as the bubble approaches.
