Manuel Herrera limped from early position and was raised to 2,700 from the player in the cutoff. The player in the small blind called cold and Herrera called as well.
Action checked to the preflop raiser on the flop and he bet the pot for 8,700. The small blind called and then Herrera check-raised to 30,000. The initial bettor called all in for around 25,000 and the small blind folded.
Manuel Herrera:
Cutoff:
Herrera was well ahead with his set, and the turn and river kept him best — sending Herrera's opponent to rebuy.
Robert McLaughlin has been on quite a roll this past level.
In a recent hand, two players limped from early position and McLaughlin raised to 2,000 from the hijack. The player in the cutoff and on the button called, as did the first two limpers.
The flop came and the initial limper bet a bit over 5,000, the second limper raised, and McLaughlin went all in. Both the initial bettor and raiser called all-in for less and hands were revealed.
Robert Laughlin:
Early-position player #1:
Early-position player #2:
McLaughlin was drawing, and the turn was of no help; however, the river completed McLaughlin's flush and he took the rest of both his opponents' chips.
Robert McLaughlin opened to 800 from middle position and was three-bet 3,000 by McLaughlin. Action folded to the player in the big blind, who four-bet to 6,300. The Mclaughlin called and the initial three-bettor called for 3,700 total.
The flop came and the big blind shoved for their remaining stack. McLaughlin called and hands were revealed.
Big blind:
Robert McLaughlin:
Hijack:
The dealer brought an turn and river — leaving both McLaughlin and the hijack best with eight-full of fours, but with the majority going to McLaughlin.
Tony Moyers was on the receiving end of a monster pot just now.
Moyers was all-in on the river against two opponents on a board. Moyers held the for the nut flush. One of his opponents held for a lower flush and the other had already mucked — sending the massive pot Moyers' way in the early going.
