Auville Makes a Boat

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Picking up the action on the flop, John "moneymetalcakes" Auville in middle position was involved in a hand with a player from under the gun as well as the small blind. With the board reading {8-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} both the small blind and under the gun player checked to Auville who led out for 3,000. He received a single call from the small blind to generate heads-up action heading to the turn.

The small blind checked for a second time on the board pairing {10-Hearts} turn, prompting Auville to fire a second barrel, this time sizing up to 6,200. Again, his opponent called.

The {8-Hearts} river double paired the board and the small blind checked one more time. Auville, seemingly undeterred by the runout, pushed 8,000 into the middle. After some thought the small blind called but mucked once Auville tabled {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for the full house.

Mitich Outclicks Eisenberg

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in early position limped and action folded around to Jacob Mitich in the cutoff who raised to 3,000. Lara Eisenberg, fresh off a runner-up finish at the WPT Prime Championship for a career best $481,500, three-bet to 8,000 out of the small blind and the big blind and early position player quickly folded. Mitich responded by four-betting to 20,000 and, after some thought, Eisenberg released her holding to take a small hit to her stack.

Laing Coolers Opponent

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Roger Laing opened to 1,100 from early position and was called by the cutoff as well as the big blind.

The big blind checked to Laing on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and he continued for 3,300. The cutoff called while the big blind folded to send the two remaining players heads-up to the turn.

Laing fired another bet following the {6-Spades} turn, this time a chunkier 7,000. His opponent responded by raising to 25,000 but far from deterring Laing, he opted to re-raise enough to force his opponent all in. The cutoff instantly called off for their tournament life.

Cutoff Player: {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}
Roger Laing: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Laing had flopped the joint to leave his opponent drawing dead prior to the meaningless {4-Hearts} river in what was an unfortunate cooler for the at risk player.

Borgata Picks Off Bluff

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player limped from early position before a player in late position raised to 2,200. James Borgata called in the cutoff as did the early position limper to setup three-way action heading to the flop.

The early position player checked on a flop of {9-Hearts}{k-Spades}{3-Spades} and the preflop aggressor continued for 3,000. Borgata called while the early position player folded.

The {7-Hearts} turn saw the late position player bet again, this time pushing 6,000 into the middle. As on the flop, Borgata called.

Following the {j-Clubs} river the late position player fired one more barrel of 16,000. After thinking for some time, Borgata called and took down the pot with {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts} after his opponent could only table {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for the missed flush draw.

Mitich Takes From Martin

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jacob Mitich opened to 1,500 from early position and was called by Mark Martin in middle position as well as a player on the button.

Mitich continued for 2,000 on a flop of {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} and was called by Martin while the button folded.

The {q-Diamonds} turn saw Mitich slow down, checking to Martin who fired off 2,000. That did not dissuade Mitich who made the call.

Both players checked following the {j-Spades} river and Mitich showed down {a-}{4-}, ousting Martin's {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} to rake in a small pot.
