Battaglia Has a Better Nothing

Level 7 : 300/600, 100 ante
Chris Battaglia
Chris Battaglia

Chris Battaglia bet 7,000 after an opponent in the blinds checked to him on an {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{q-Diamonds} board. The player called, and an {a-Clubs} paired the board. Both players checked.

"I've got nothing," Battaglia said, tossing {j-Diamonds}{9-Spades} into the middle.

His opponent squinted at the board.

"You have nothing too?" Battaglia said, his voice rising. "Open-ended?!"

Indeed, the player couldn't beat jack-high, and Battaglia took the pot.

Goddard Over 50,000 After Two Big Pots

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante
Kenny Goddard
Kenny Goddard

We found Kenny Goddard in the big blind contemplating a 5,000 bet from Huey Long in the cutoff. The board had come {9-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades}.

"Will you show me if I fold?" Goddard asked.

"If you pay," Long said.

Goddard paid off the bet, but Long only had {a-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for ace-high, a missed flush draw. Goddard showed {9-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a pair of nines.

The next hand, Goddard finished off Long, taking his last 5,500 or so, and also busting another player when Goddard's {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} held up all in preflop against {a-}{j-} and {j-}{9-}.

Bunch Bluffs Off; Pironti In

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Eric Bunch bet 6,100 from the cutoff after his opponent to his right checked a final board of {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. The player made the call with just top pair {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} on the wet board, but Bunch said it was good.

Bunch's fellow RunGoodGear.com Hard Rock Tulsa final table participant Vince Pironti, who was among the four to chop the tournament, just bought in.
