Wahlert on Fire

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Joel Wahlert
Joel Wahlert

Joel Wahlert was in a big pot with Mike Vanier on a {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} board and he bet 9,000 on the river. Vanier quickly called, and Wahlert showed {k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for a backdoor flush.

A bit later, Wahlert bet 5,000 on a {4-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} board from the button, and his opponent in the hijack shoved for 4,225 more. Wahlert called with {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and had a lot of outs to fade as his opponent held {q-Spades}{9-Spades}. The board ran out {6-Diamonds} and {7-Clubs} though, and Wahlert has quickly amassed a big stack.

At that same table, Drew Woodke has taken a seat.

"Didn't You Pay Attention in the Seminar?"

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Mike Lang opened to 650 under the gun and got three callers before Darren Attebery shoved all in for 10,450 in the small blind. Lang thought briefly and folded, but the initial caller put in the required amount and everyone else folded.

"Didn't you pay attention in the seminar?" Attebery joked. "I needed you to learn how to fold."

Attebery: {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{5-Spades}

Attebery was behind but picked up some outs as {6-Hearts}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts} flopped. A {7-Hearts} turn left him with a lock winner as he hit the nut straight and he rivered a flush when the {q-Hearts} hit.

Phan Thanks Bryan

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

On a board reading {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Hearts}{7-Spades}, the small blind bet 900 and got raised to 2,000 by Jeff Bryan, who was in middle position. Ryan Phan cold-called on his left, and the small blind called as well. On the {6-Hearts} river, the small blind fired 5,000, and Bryan quickly folded. Phan, though, moved all in for 13,525. The small blind called.

Phan showed {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for jacks full, and the small blind mucked the {5-Hearts} face-up.

After raking in the pot, Phan thanked Bryan for building the pot on the turn.
