Lisman Bets Out Eisenberg

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michael Lisman and Lara Eisenberg built a pot of around 35,000 as they went heads-up to the A♠J♦8♣ flop. Lisman then bet 10,000 from the small blind and Eisenberg called in the hijack.

The 2♣ turn was checked through, and the A♣ fell on the river. Lisman then slid forward a stack of blue 5,000 chips, and Eisenberg quickly folded.

Aytumen Akyildiz bet 6,000 from under the gun on a flop of A♠6♠3♥ and Lara Eisenberg called on the button.

Both players checked the 5♥ turn before Akyildiz bet another 12,000 on the K♥ river. Eisenberg came back with a raise to 30,000, and Akyildiz tossed his cards away.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Christopher Caruso moved all in for 24,500 under the gun and Adam Glasgow called in the small blind. Justin Arnwine then reshoved in the big blind, and Glasgow got out of the way.

Christopher Caruso: J♠10♠ All in
Justin Arnwine: A♦A♣

Caruso had run into Arnwine's aces and was at risk of busting for the sixth time today, but he spiked trips on the 10♣6♦10♦ flop to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 3♣6♠ and he tripled up.

"Back in the game," Caruso said.

"That was a good one," Arnwine added.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Changfeng Fan raised to 5,500 in the cutoff before Morgan Petro three-bet to 13,500 on the button. Kash Corpening called in the small blind, while Fan got out of the way.

Both players checked the A♠4♠Q♣ flop. Corpening then led out for 18,000 on the 8♦ turn and Petro called.

Corpening bet another 20,500 on the 5♣ river and Petro took a minute before again calling. Corpening turned over J♥J♦, but Petro had Q♦9♦ for a pair of queens to win the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Justin Arnwine raised to 5,000 in middle position and Christopher Caruso called in the hijack. Ariel Krupnik then three-bet to 17,000 in the cutoff, Arnwine four-bet to 29,000, and only Krupnik called.

The flop came A♠Q♣4♦ and Arnwine bet 6,500. Krupnik called and they both checked the 4♥ turn.

The river was the 10♣ and Arnwine began winding up his Hello Kitty figurine, grabbing a tower of blue 5,000 chips and pushing it into the middle while the toy started to walk across the table. Krupnik could only let out a laugh as he quickly folded.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Adam Glasgow in the small blind who moved all in, and the big blind called for his last 30,000.

All-in player: J♦J♣ All in
Adam Glasgow: A♣3♣

"I had an ace," tablemate Nicholas Eckhart told Glasgow as the at-risk player was a favorite to double up. The board ran out 2♥K♥10♣9♥, but Glasgow spiked one of the last two aces in the deck on the A♥ river to win the pot and send his opponent to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded around to Ariel Krupnik who moved all in for 26,000 in the small blind. Christopher Caruso called in the big blind to put him at risk.

Ariel Krupnik: A♣Q♠ All in
Christopher Caruso: 9♣9♠

The 6♣J♣10♣ flop kept Caruso in the lead, but Krupnik picked up straight and flush draws. The 8♣ turn gave him the nut flush, and Caruso handed over the double up once the 10♥ completed the board on the river.

Lara Eisenberg was recently eliminated but quickly fired another bullet.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bryan Reyes was all in for 22,500 from the big blind, Lara Eisenberg also shoved for 25,000 in the cutoff, and Aytumen Akyildiz in the hijack put both players at risk.

Bryan Reyes: 8♥8♣ All in
Lara Eisenberg: A♣K♥ All in
Aytumen Akyildiz: A♥2♥

The flop came 8♠4♦2♠ and Reyes hit top set to take a big lead in the pot. The rest of the board ran out K♣4♣ to improve him to a full house and earn him a triple up, while Eisenberg took the small side pot off Akyildiz but was still left with just over a big blind.
