Four-Bet Works for Niyati

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pej Niyatiopened to 4,500 from middle position and was three-bet to 15,500 by the small blind. He then threw out a four-bet to 34,500, sending his opponent into the tank.

The small blind thought for over two minutes as time expired in the level and ultimately sent his cards to the muck, resulting in the pot being sent to Niyati without any postflop play necessary.

"I Normally Don't Do This"

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Preston McEwen was on the button with a bet of 13,000 in front of him preflop and action was back on him with a decision to make for his stack, as Suzan Samuels covered him and had come over the top from the small blind.

McEwen asked her a question about how she was doing and she jovially responded saying she was great. A small dialogue ensued, albeit one that was not thoroughly audible. Whatever the exact subject matter, it gave McEwen all the information he needed to make a decision.

"I normally don't do this," he said as he folded {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} face up.

Samuels then confirmed his deviation from the norm was a correct one, turning over {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for pocket rockets, which had McEwen's suited ace-king smoked before the flop, which would not come as the pot was sent Samuels' way and the table got ready for the next hand.

Croft Holds To Nearly Triple

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pedro Contreras was under the gun and opened the action with a raise to 4,500. Action folded around to the player on the button, who went all in. Brock Croft was in the big blind and asked for a count, which was totaled to be 19,200. Croft then went all in for 24,900. After confirming the amounts, Contreras announced a call.

Shortest Stack: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}
Brock Croft: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Pedro Contreras: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Croft was out in front and in need of holding versus his opponents' underpair and two overcards. He did just that as the board ran out {6-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{j-Spades} to give him two pair, queens and jacks, and bring his stack north of 70,000 with under an hour of play left in the night.

While PokerNews is on-site offering live updates from the $575 Main Event, we wanted to take a moment to tell you about some other action that took place at the RGPS Horseshoe Bossier City.

The stop kicked off with the $135 RG Pro Bounty home opener, which attracted 206 players. Among those to cash but fall short of the final table were Jonathan Bard (11th - $391), Lucas Hillman (14th - $321), and Ben Mintz (15th - $321), just to name a few.

After a four-way chop, the final four players played out the rest of the tourney for the ring and title. Tim Gilliam was left standing after the dust settled.

Ingles Sends Misenheimer Home

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Jared Ingles
Jared Ingles

There was around 20,000 in the middle with three-way action on a flop of {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} as Wes Gauthier checked from the small blind. Alan Misenheimer was next to act in the big blind and put out a bet of 10,000. Jared Ingles was in the cutoff and went all in over the top of Misenheimer for about 39,000.

Action was then back on Gauthier, who went into the tank for about 50 seconds before folding. Misenheimer then thought for about 20 seconds before verbalizing a call.

Ingles immediately tabled {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} upon being called, showing trip sixes with a queen kicker. The dealer announced the hand and Misenheimer sent his cards to the muck. The dealer completed the mucking action despite the all-in situation and proceeded to count stacks, with Ingles barely covering Misenheimer to score the knockout and send Misenheimer to the rail an hour before the end of play for the night.

McEwen Snaps Off a Bluff

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Preston McEwen had just raked in a pot and was seen with a stack size that was about double what it was not long ago. He was happy to recap the hand that just vaulted him up the leader board.

According to McEwen, a player raised to 4,000 from under the gun and received calls from players in early- and middle position. McEwen then called on the button and the big blind came along as well to take action five ways to a flop of {j-}{6-}{5-} (rainbow, one club).

The big blind led out for 6,000 and was called by the original opener and McEwen to take three players to the turn {5-Clubs}. The big blind continued with a bet for another 9,000, which got a fold from the original opener and another call from McEwen.

The river fell {2-Hearts} and the big blind emptied the clip, firing a third barrel for 20,000. McEwen quickly called.

The big blind showed {8-}{7-} for a bluff and McEwen tabled {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, good for top pair and the pot despite not hitting his backdoor flush to which he was also drawing. The won pot brought his stack up to 137,000, which is where it currently stands midway through Level 10.
