Hitchcock Sends One Out

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jane Hitchcock
Jane Hitchcock

A player in early position shoved for around 20,000 and Jane Hitchcock also went all in for more from middle position. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.

Jane Hitchcock: {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Early Position: {6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The {5-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop gave Hitchcock a bit of a sweat, but the {j-Diamonds} turn and {9-Diamonds} river bricked out for her opponent and Hitchcock claimed the knockout.

James Patton
James Patton

Andrew Voor opened to 3,500 from early position and was called by James Patton in middle position and the player on the button.

Action checked to the button on the {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and he bet 4,000. Voor called and Patton then check-raised all in for 28,600 total. Voor folded, but the player on the button called to put Patton at risk.

James Patton: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Button: {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

It was a bit of a cooler as Patton had flopped a set against bottom two pair. The {8-Spades} turn and {q-Spades} river changed nothing and Patton doubled up.

On a flop of {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds}, Helen Cantrell was heads-up from the small blind against a player on the button. Cantrell bet 3,000 and her opponent called.

Both players checked on the {9-Clubs} turn; however, Cantrell led out for 10,000 when the {10-Spades} completed the board. Her opponent then shoved for around 30,000 total and Cantrell immediately called having him covered. The player on the button showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for a queen-high straight, but Cantrell revealed she held the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} for a king-high straight and eliminated her opponent.
