Crowley Runs Into Zeta's Bigger Ace

David Salituro

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

Action folded to Frankie Zeta in the small blind who moved all in, and Joe Crowley snap-called for his last 30,000 in the big blind.

Joe Crowley: A♥8♣ All in
Frankie Zeta: A♣10♥

"Snap. Snappity snap," tablemate Matt Mullins said. Crowley found himself dominated as the K♣Q♠9♦Q♦ board left open the possibility of a chop, but Zeta's ten-kicker continued to play following the 4♦ river and Crowley was sent to the rail.

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

Kyle Lin raised to 5,000 under the gun before Andrew Phillips three-bet to 20,000 in the cutoff. Harrison Dobin called for his last 15,000 in the small blind, while Lin reshoved for 65,000. Phillips tanked for several minutes, but he eventually called to put both opponents at risk.

Harrison Dobin: 3♥3♣ All in
Kyle Lin: J♥J♦ All in
Andrew Phillips: 7♠5♠

Lin was ahead with his jacks as the flop came 5♣4♣4♠, while the A♠ turn gave Phillips a flush draw. The river was the 2♠ and Phillips made his flush to scoop the pot.

"Yes!" he yelled out, slamming the table in celebration. Lin let out a loud sigh before stopping to snap a photo of the board and joining Dobin on the rail.

"The math was on my side. I was getting two-to-one. It was dumb raise with him behind me. God owed me one," Phillips explained after the hand.

Christopher Caruso limped in on the button before Russ Dunlevy raised to 7,000 in the small blind. Thies Guyy called in the big blind, while Caruso also called.

Dunlevy bet another 9,000 on the A♦K♣Q♥ flop, and only Caruso called this time. Both players then checked the 2♦ turn.

The river was the 8♠ and Dunlevy bet 6,000. Caruso again called, and Dunlevy showed A♥2♥ for two pair to win the pot.

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

Joel Lanning raised to 5,000 under the gun and Russ Dunlevy called on the button. Stephani Czap then moved all in for 25,000 in the big blind. Lanning gave the decision some thought but eventually folded. "Good save, dude," Dunlevy told him.

"I'm so sorry. I'm rooting for you," he added as he quickly called to put Czap at risk.

Stephani Czap: J♠9♠ All in
Russ Dunlevy: A♦K♣

"You'll bink it," Dunlevy reassured Czap, but she couldn't connect with the 5♥6♦4♥Q♠7♣ board and Dunlevy's ace-high earned him the pot to send Czap to the rail.

The flop came Q♣10♥4♠ and Furey bet 15,000. Dobin called and they both checked the 2♥ turn.

Dobin then led out for 40,000 on the 5♥ river, and Furey snap-called with K♠K♥. Dobin's cards quickly hit the muck, and Furey took down the pot.

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

Hamid Izadi had recently busted but quickly reentered and took his seat at Charles Furey's table. Furey then opened to 8,000 in early position, Izadi moved all in for 38,000 in the big blind, and Furey called.

Hamid Izadi: K♣Q♠ All in
Charles Furey: 9♣9♦

"One more bullet," Izadi said as he needed to win the coin flip to avoid another walk to the cashier's cage. The 8♦K♠10♠ flop gave him top pair and the lead, while Furey picked up a straight draw on the 7♠ turn. The river 5♠ was safe for Izadi, and he doubled up.

Dinesh Purohit: A♥J♠ All in
Andrew Phillips: A♠K♦

Phillips had both opponents dominated as the flop came A♦Q♥3♥, giving the button the lead with top two pair. The turn was the 10♥, but the K♠ river improved Purohit to a straight as he went from worst to first to scoop the pot, earning a double up while sending the button to the rail.
