Eisenberg Catches Luu on a Move

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Lara Eisenberg bet 8,000 from under the gun on a flop of 8♦3♦6♥ and Philip Luu moved all in for 40,000 from middle position. Eisenberg snap-called. "I'm dead," Luu said even before the cards were revealed.

Philip Luu: K♠J♠ All in
Lara Eisenberg: K♦K♣

Eisenberg showed down two kings and had Luu drawing only to running cards. The Q♥ turn and J♥ river provided no miracles, and Luu was sent to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Lara Eisenberg raised to 5,500 in early position and Nathan Bomey three-bet to 18,000 in middle position. Aytumen Akyildiz then moved all in for 60,000 on the button and Eisenberg folded, but Bomey snap-called.

Aytumen Akyildiz: A♥A♦ All in
Nathan Bomey: Q♦Q♠

Akyildiz had picked up aces against Bomey's queens and let out a fist pump after the A♠4♥8♠ flop gave him top set. The turn was the 8♠ and the table pointed out that Bomey had picked up a flush draw. The J♠ fell on the river and Bomey made his flush, sending a stunned Akyildiz to the rail.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Nicholas Rigby bet 9,000 from the hijack on a flop of 3♦8♦4♣ and Kash Corpening called in the small blind, while Justin Arnwine folded in middle position.

The turn was the A♥ and Corpening led out for 17,000. Rigby then raised to 34,000, and Corpening called.

The 7♣ fell on the river and Corpening bet another 26,000. Rigby tanked for a minute but eventually folded this time, surrendering the pot to Corpening.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jeffrey Chang raised to 6,000 in the hijack and Nicholas Rigby three-bet to 21,000 in the small blind. Christopher Caruso then moved all in for 37,000 in the big blind, Chang reshoved, and Rigby folded, later admitting to laying down two nines.

Christopher Caruso: A♦10♥ All in
Jeffrey Chang: Q♣Q♦

"I'm live," Caruso said, pointing to his ace.

"You've got him right where you want him," Justin Arnwine said. The flop came 9♠5♦8♣ and Rigby flung his arms in the air in frustation after missing out on his flopped set. The 8♥ turn was no help to Caruso, but he found the A♣ on the river to make two pair and double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nicholas Rigby	110,000 20,000	20,000
Christopher Caruso	100,000

Rigby checked the A♣ river and Anton moved all in for 35,000. Rigby snap-called with J♠8♠ for two pair. "Open-ended straight flush," Anton said, tossing Q♦7♠ into the muck as he made his exit.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With around 25,000 in the pot on a board of 9♣2♠Q♠9♦, Christopher Caruso moved all in for 37,500 in the big blind and Nicholas Eckhart snap-called in the cutoff.

"Ah, shit. Do you have a queen"" Caruso asked, standing up from his seat and showing J♠7♠. Eckhart did indeed turn over A♠Q♦ for twop pair, but Caruso spiked the 8♠ on the river to make a flush and double up.

"Fight's not over," he said, sitting back down in his chair.

"Ever since you started drinking the wine," tablemate Justin Arnwine added.
