Felsenthall Delivers A Massive Cooler To Lawson

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

A player called in first position which saw Chance Lawson raise to 5,000 in early position which saw Elliot Felsenthall call and the initial caller call as well.

The flop came out Ax2x2x and action checked through to the 10x turn which saw action check over to Felsenthall who bet 2,500 which both players called.

On the river 6x, action checked to Felsenthall once more who bet 13,000 which the first position player called, while Lawson moved all in for 51,000, getting called by both players.

First position: 10x8x
Elliot Felsenthall: 2x2x
Chance Lawson: AxAx

Lawson had flopped aces full of twos, but he was left drawing super thin to win the pot as Felsenthall flopped quad twos. The other player had very little chips and the sizable pot was pushed to Felsenthall just before break.

Carter Versus Cotant

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a six way pot.

Action checked around on the 724 flop to the button where JW Carter bet 6,000 which saw only Adam Cotant in the big blind call.

On the 7 turn, Cotant checked once more to Carter who bet 7,000. Cotant raised to 15,000 which saw Carter move all in for 47,000 total and Cotant tossed his hand into the muck.

Carter showed the 7 for at least three sevens and Cotant nodded, both players having made the final table of the 2022 RGPS Tunica main event.
