Capps Involved in Another Huge Three-Way Clash

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Three players found themselves all in before the flop, with Ricky @ratedGTO Guan at risk for 25,000 from the lojack, the button at risk for 52,000 from the button, and Jesse Capps putting both players at risk with a call from the cutoff.

Capps: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Guan: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Button: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}

The {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop was filled with action, as it gave the button a pair of kings and Guan a Royal Flush draw, while Capps still held the lead with his aces. The {5-Diamonds} turn and {4-Spades} river faded the numerous outs of Guan and the button, and Capps raked in a 300 big blind pot, while Guan headed to re-enter.

Boriolo Gets Some Side Pot Value

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

The big blind checked a {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop over to a player UTG, who jammed for his last 3,800 into a pot of 4,000. John Boriolo, who won the $440 Mini Main Event here last week, called from UTG+1, as did the big blind.

The {4-Hearts} fell on the turn, and the big blind checked. Boriolo bet 3,000, and the big blind called.

The big blind checked again on the {6-Diamonds} river, and Boriolo bet 5,000. The big blind called again, and Boriolo rolled over {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. The big blind flashed his {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} before mucking, but the UTG player hit the river with his {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, giving him two pair and a triple-up, while Boriolo made a small profit on the side pot.

Beesley Gets A Loose Call

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

A player UTG had just four-bet Phil Beesley in the hijack to the tune of 10,000, and Beesley responded with a five-bet shove for 20,800.

"Why did I do this?" The UTG player said with a sheepish grin. After contemplating it for a minute, he tossed in a reluctant call.

Beesley: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

Beesley locked up the hand on the turn of a {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} board to secure a double-up.

Diamonds are Kerstetter's Best Friend

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Jamie Kerstetter
Jamie Kerstetter

With 4,000 in the pot and a flop of {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, LFG Podcast co-host Jamie Kerstetter checked from the small blind and her opponent in middle position bet 2,000.

Kerstetter called and then check-called a bet of 5,000 on the {7-Diamonds} turn, which left her just 4,200 behind.

When the {10-Diamonds} completed the board on the river, Kerstetter moved all in and her opponent called. Kerstetter rolled over the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for the nuts and her opponent mucked.
