Blase Flops a Set But Loses Hand

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante
Lauren Blase moments before losing with a set
Lauren Blase moments before losing with a set

Lauren Blase recently replayed a hand for us that has left her with just a few chips.

"I had {6-}{6-} and the flop came {7-}{6-}{4-} and there were two players all in before it even got to me. I of course called. One player had {8-}{8-} and the other had {Q-}{Q-}.

Blase shrugged, a bit frustrated, as she told the rest of her story.

"Eight on the river."

She would be eliminated a few hands later. It is a re-entry event, however, so if she wants to get back in the action she can do so.

Tepen Folds to Overbet

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player in middle position opened for 2,225 — a bet that was over 11 times the big blind. It was folded to Ryan Tepen in the small blind who made the call.

The flop came {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Tepen checked to his opponent who put out three T5,000 chips for a bet of 15,000 total. Tepen, a successful tournament grinder with over half a million in lifetime winnings, snap-folded to the overbet.

Roberts Straightens Out on the River

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Reginald Roberts opened the action with a raise to 600 from middle position and was called by Shaun McBride out of the small blind and Cornelius Johnson from the big blind.

The flop came {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and McBride checked. Johnson put out a bet of 1,200 and was called by Roberts and Johnson.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and McBride checked again. Johnson fired another bet, this time for 1,125 and Roberts put in a raise to 4,300. McBride thought for a moment and put out the call and Johnson joined in as well creating a pot of over 18,000.

The river was the {7-Diamonds} putting three diamonds on the board and all three players checked. Roberts turned over {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a hand that improved on every street. He flopped second pair with an open-ended straight draw and added a flush draw on the turn. The river gave him the jack high straight.

That was good enough as McBride and Johnson both mucked. Roberts is off to a good start as he would end the hand with approximately 52,000 in chips.
