Glasgow Gets a Shove Through

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player in the hijack raised to 2,100 and Adam Glasgow, who recently fired his second bullet today, called in the cutoff. Morgan Petro then three-bet to 8,000 on the button, and only Glasgow called.

The flop came Q♠Q♥2♣ and Petro continued for 4,200. Glasgow then moved all in for 22,000, and Petro didn't take too long before folding.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nicholas Eckhart limped in from early position before Kash Corpening raised to 4,400 in the hijack. Ariel Krupnik then moved all in for 25,000 in the cutoff and Christopher Caruso reshoved on the button. Eckhart folded, while Corpening paused for a moment before tossing two tens into the muck.

Ariel Krupnik: J♦J♣ All in
Christopher Caruso: 8♦8♣

Krupnik had Caruso dominated with his jacks, and the 6♥6♠Q♠7♠6♦ board was safe for him to earn the double up.

"You saved me some money, Chris," Corpening said to Caruso after the hand.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Heads-up on a flop of J♦3♣7♦, Nathan Bomey bet 3,400 from the button and Reda Aziz raised to 10,500 in the cutoff. Bomey called and they saw the 5♦ fall on the turn.

Aziz then moved all in for 25,000. Bomey let out a loud sigh and took a few moments until calling to put Aziz at risk. Bomey turned over A♣A♦, while Aziz was on a straight draw holding 8♥6♣.

The 10♥ river was safe for Bomey, and he secured the pot to send Aziz to the rail.

"Man, that was brutal. I figured he had a set, or the diamonds," he said, taking a deep sigh of relief while the dealer slid over the chips.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Aytumen Akyildiz bet 3,500 from the hijack on a flop of 3♠Q♥10♠ before Michael Lisman raised to 10,000 in middle position. Akyildiz called and the turn came the A♣.

Both players checked to the 5♦ river, where Lisman bet 15,000. Akyildiz snap-called and Lisman showed A♦4♦ for a turned pair of aces. Akyildiz threw his cards across the table in frustration, while Lisman took in the pot to add to his big stack.
