Barton Gets Respect

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Paul Barton opened to 3,400 from the hijack and was called by the player on the button and both players in the blinds.

All four players checked on the {j-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop and {a-Hearts} turn; however, the small blind led out for 6,000 on the {q-Clubs} river. It was folded to Barton, who then check-raised to 15,000. Everyone folded and Barton dragged the pot.

Daehler Doesn't Back Down

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Brayden Daehler
Brayden Daehler

Brayden Daehler opened to 3,200 and found one caller in the big blind.

It was checked to Daehler on the {7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{q-Hearts} flop and he continued for 3,000. His opponent then check-raised to 8,000. Undeterred, Daehler quickly three-bet to 19,000. Daehler's opponent thought a bit before showing the {q-Spades} face up and folding his hand — awarding the pot to Daehler.

Patton Doubles

Level 10 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
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.

Neiman explained that his opponent ovebet shoved on the flop and Neiman called.

The board completed with a {7-Diamonds} turn and {k-Clubs} river — leaving Neiman best and sending him the massive pot.

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.
