Brick Brick for Fretag

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up flop of Q43, Rodolfo Ponce lead out for 7,000 but was then quickly raised to 30,000 by Jason Fretag, who only had around 10,000 behind.

Ponce thought about it for a few seconds but then moved all in to cover Fretag, who made the call to put himself at risk.

Jason Fretag: [4c5]
Rodolfo Ponce: Q9

Ponce was in the lead with his top pair of queens, but Fretag had a lot of outs with his pair of fours with a flush draw.

Unfortunately for Fretag, the board ran out 82 for him to miss everything and he was sent to the rail as the pot was pushed over to Ponce.

Tinsley Takes it from Troendly

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a heads-up completed board of 54QK10, the pot was already swelled to 32,000 when Richard Troendly bet 5,600 into it.

The action was then on Jesse Tinsley who went into the tank for a bit before he tossed in the chips to make the call.

Troendly then quickly sent his hand into the muck to award Tinsley the pot without showdown, but he claimed to have had ace-jack for a rivered straight.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Terrance Reid opened to 2,000 but was then three-bet to 6,500 by Harley Brooks to his left. Reid then four-bet to 19,000 and the pressure was back on Brooks .

Brooks then took out a 20-sided die and announced that if landed on 1-10 he would call, 11-20 he would move all in.

He then rolled the die and it landed on 13, and he promptly moved all in, covering Reid.

"F*cking thirteen," Reid laughed as he mucked his hand.

Quaile Makes the Correct Reid

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The board read K629 when Terrance Reid bet 3,500 into the pot of 5,000 after a check from Jospeh Quaile.

Quaile thought for a second and then made the call to see the last card appear the A. Quaile checked once more and Reid fired for 7,200.

After spending about 20 seconds in the tank, Quaile gathered the proper chips and made the call.

"You're good, I just have queen-high," Reid sighed as he prepared to muck his hand. Quaile then tabled K9 for a turned two-pair and Reid tossed in his cards to award him the pot.
