"Don't Bet Too Much!"

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Daniel "Donk" Hughes in early position and another player in the big blind.

Both players checked the {k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} to the {8-Hearts} where the big blind reached for a bet of 1,700 and before releasing, Hughes laughed "don't bet too much," which he followed up by calling.

The river {9-Spades} saw the big blind bet 5,600 and Hughes responded by moving all in for 22,300 which saw his opponent fold. Hughes flashed {j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for the nut straight as the RGPS ring winner raked in the pot.

Corey Peeples
Corey Peeples

A player in early position raised to 2,000, seeing a player call in the cutoff and in the big blind Corey Peebles called.

The flop came out {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Peebles checked to his opponent who continued for 6,000. The cutoff moved all in for 18,300 which only Peebles called and the hands were turned over.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Corey Peebles: {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}

The turn of {8-Clubs} gave Peebles a flush, leaving his opponent drawing to no outs before the {j-Hearts} river landed. His opponent wished the table good luck and Peebles' chip count soared in the early levels of the tournament.

Mark Feinberg
Mark Feinberg

A player in first position raised to 1,100 which saw action fold over to the hijack who three-bet to 3,000. Mark Feinberg four-bet to 10,000 from the cutoff which saw the initial raiser fold and hijack move all in for 13,200 which Feinberg called.

Opponent: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Mark Feinberg: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{5-Spades} and the queens were unable to best the kings of Feinberg, who found himself the beneficiary of a classic preflop cooler.
