Mueller Shoves on Swift

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ed Mroczkowski opened to 2,000 from the button but was immediately three-bet to 4,200 from Brandon Mueller in the small blind.

Then Jon Swift put in a cold four-bet to 10,500 which produced a fold from Mroczkowski and a call from Mueller after some pause.

The flop came out {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Mueller checked it over to Swift, who continued for 5,500 and Mueller called.

Both players decided to check the {7-Hearts} turn and went straight to the {j-Clubs} on the river.

Mueller then shoved into Swift for a total of 18,000 and after a few moments received the fold. Mueller then flipped over {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for king-high as he raked in the substantial pot as Swift was left shot.

Perfect River for Gaubert

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After checking the turn in a big heads-up pot of around 27,000, Jeremy Gaubert shoved the rest of his stack in the middle when the river hit the board of {3-Hearts}{4-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{a-Clubs}.

The action was now on his opponent, Kelly Slay, who shook her head but still threw in a chip as a call. Gaubert then rolled over {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} for the nut full house on the river.

"Very nice hand," Slay said as she tapped the table and showed the {a-Hearts}. " I had hearts too, just couldn't get away from it" she admitted as the pot was pushed over to Gaubert.

Teal Vs Scrogins

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Brad Teal
Brad Teal

After a raise to 2,000, Ben Scrogins three-bet to 8,500 but then Brad Teal moved all in for much more.

The original raiser quickly got out of the way and Scrogins snap-called, putting himself at risk of elimination.

Ben Scrogins: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Brad Teal: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}

Scrogins was ahead going into this battle, and the runout of {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} was good for him as he secured the big double-up.

Two hands later, short-stacked Teal moved all in for around 9,000 and Scrogins made the call to put him at risk.

Brad Teal: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Ben Scrogins: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Fortunately for Teal, the runout of {8-}{j-}{6-}{j-}{9-} was in his favor as he paired his six and was awarded the double-up.

Mueller the Hero

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a heads-up completed board of {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, the pot had over 25,000 in it when Brandon Mueller checked it over to his opponent, who then moved all in for a total of 16,800.

After a good minute in the tank, Mueller gathered his chips and said, "this is a gift," and put the chips across the line.

"You're good," his opponent sighed as he tabled {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for just queen-high while Mueller showed {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a lone pair of nines to take down the big pot and sent his opponent to the rail.

Singh Shoves into Slay

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Raminder Singh
Raminder Singh

On a heads-up turn board of {9-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Spades}, Kelley Slay checked over to his opponent, Raminder Singh, who then bet 14,000 into the quickly swelling pot of 22,000.

Slay made the call, and the duo went to the river {3-Clubs}, which saw another check from Slay.

Singh then paused for a second before moving all in, covering Slay, and sending him into the tank.

"I feel like ace-high is good here, Rami," Slay said after several minutes of painful deliberation, to which Singh said nothing.

After another minute or so, Slay finally decided to lay it down, and Singh was kind enough to show him that a call would have been the wrong move as he flipped over {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for the top full house.

"Wow," Slay replied, as he and the rest of the table were stunned while Singh was pushed the sizeable pot to boost him to 175,000.
