Vankrey Triples Up

Kirk Brown

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a three-way flop of K♦J♠6♦, Daniel Lujano led out for 50,000 and was called by fellow big stack Keith Eoll. Then Ronda Vankrey moved all in for 58,000 total and both players tossed the extra 15,000 in the middle.

Lujano and Eoll then checked through the 10♠9♠ runout and they tabled their hands for the side pot.

Eoll showed J♦4♦ for a pair of jacks and a busted flush draw while Lujano flipped over A♣K♠ for top pair to take the small side pot. After that was settled, Vankrey then proudly flipped over 6♠6♣ for a flopped set of sixes to take down the main pot for a big triple-up.

Comeskey Doubles Near Bubble

Kirk Brown

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Scott Aulds opened to 15,000 under the gun and then Caitlin Comeskey moved all in for around 100,000 right behind him. The action folded back around to Aulds who thought for a few seconds before he made the call to put her at risk.

Caitlin Comeskey: 9♦9♠
Scott Aulds: 8♥8♦

Comesley was in a great position to double up here, and the runout of J♥J♠5♣7♣7♦ was clean for her to secure the big double-up.

One Time?

Kirk Brown

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After Rip Fritzer and another player were already all in, the action ended on Kevin 'BigKev' Meyers who had a decision to make.

"Man, I think the right play is to just stick it in here," he announced as he stuck his chips in the middle and tabled his cards.

Kevin Meyers: J♣10♣
Opponent: A♥K♣
Rip Fritzer: A♦K♦

"I mean I hate to say it, but I like your hand," Fritzer admitted as he saw he and the other player shared the same hand.

The flop came out Q♦8♦Q♥ to give Meyers a gutshot straight draw but the turn killed everything when it came the 5♦.

"Come on! One time!" Fritzer shouted, unaware that he had already hit his flush and his opponents were drawing stone dead.

Once the river came the 6♥ he realized what happened and quickly raked in the chips as they were pushed his way while Meyers and the other player made their exit.

The rules are unclear as to whether that counted as his "one time", but time will tell.

Lujano on Fire

Kirk Brown

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Caitlin Comeskey opened to 6,000 from the button and was called by Daniel Lujano in the small blind to see a flop of 5♥5♦K♠. Lujano quickly checked over to Comeskey who continued for 8,000, which Lujano called to see the turn 7♣.

Both players then decided to slow down and action checked through to the river A♠. Lujano then donked into Comeskey for 23,000 and she snap-called.

Lujano then flipped over the small blind special of 8♦5♣ for flopped trips and Comeskey quickly mucked her hand to give him the pot.
