Erick Torres

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nova Baghdasarian opened to 1,600 from under the gun before the player in the next seat over made the call. The big blind also called to create a three-handed pot.

The 8♣5♥6♠ flo led to a check from the big blind. Baghdasarian continued for 3,200 before the early position player folded. The big blind flicked in the call to stay in the hand.

Both players checked the 4♣ turn to bring the 8♥ river.

The big blind checked before Baghdasarian put out a larger bet of 12,000. The big blind gave it thought for a long time before he folded to award the pot to Baghdasarian.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A series of limps set the stage for Ronald Segni, who went all-in. Kevin Meyers also went all-in for less, and Michael Coggins joined with an all-in of his own for 16,000. Dennis Morgan called and had everyone covered, with Coggins having the lowest stack and Meyers the second lowest.

Michael Coggins: 9♠9♣ All in
Kevin Meyers: 10♦10♣ All in
Ronald Segni: 7♠7♥ All in
Dennis Morgan: 3♦2♦

It was pocket pairs everywhere except for Morgan, who held the suited connector.

Morgan smacked the flop when it came 5♠4♠A♠ to give him the wheel.

Morgan stayed ahead on the 4♥ turn, but it gave all the pocket pairs some recourse by enabling the possibility of a full house on the river.

Coggins realized that possibility when the 9♥ peeled on the river to give him a full house. This resulted in Meyers being eliminated while Morgan won the side pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The details of this hand were recounted to PokerNews by players at the table.

Brian Orrico and Robert Hoag duked it out in a hand that neither player is likely going to forget about anytime soon.

The players had already built the pot up to over 20,000 by the time they reached the river of a board that read 9x9x9xQxQx.

Hoag checked his option before Orrico went all-in for approximately 17,000. Hoag snap-called, and they went to a showdown with a full house showing on the board.

Orrico tabled 9x8x for a flopped four of a kind of nines. Surprisingly, this was not enough to take down the pot as Hoag showed QxQx for runner-runner quads that left the table buzzing.

Jack Fernandez limped from the hijack before Susan Millstone-Schacke made it 2,000 from the cutoff. Jason Jacintho called out of the big blind, and Fernandez stuck around with a call.

The 8♠10♠8♥ flop led to a check from Jacintho and Fernandez before Millstone-Schacke followed with a bet of 3,000. Jacintho called, but Fernandez put more chips in the pot with a check-raise to 8,000. Millstone-Schacke called, but Jacintho folded.

Fernandez put out a bet of 6,000 on the A♦ turn, and Millstone-Schacke called.

The 3♦ river resulted in another bet of 6,000 from Fernandez. Millstone-Schacke took some time to mull it over before she put in the call.

Fernandez tabled K♠8♦ for trip eights before Millstone-Schacke tapped the table and mucked her hand to award the pot to Fernandez.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player from early position raised to 1,100, which led to a call from Joseph Canez out of the cutoff. Luis Adame joined on the button, and Clinton Pittmann came in from the small blind to create a four-way pot preflop.

The 5♠2♥5♥ flop led to a check from Pittmann before the early position player continued for 1,300.

Canez folded, but Adame wanted to play for more as he chose to raise all-in for approximately 30,000. Pittman got out of the way, and the early position player let his hand go to award Adame the pot without any further resistance.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

The pot had swelled to about 5,000 preflop when this hand was picked up on the 5♠4♦Q♦ flop. Zachary Bostick bet 2,500 from the small blind before Gregory Francisco made the call from middle position.

The 3♣ turn led to another barrel from Bostick, this time to the tune of 4,000. Francisco stayed in with a call.

Bostick slowed down with a check on the 3♠ river. Francisco was not in the checking mood as he opted to go all-in for approximately 17,100. This was enough to put Bostick all-in and at risk should he call as he only had 8,200 behind.

Bostick went into the tank before he flicked out a single chip to signal a call.

Francisco tabled K♠K♦ for two pair. Bostick shook his head as he revealed 5♥4♥ for a flopped two pair that got counterfeited by on the river.
