Tucker Takes it With King High

Tyler Boyer

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A player under the gun limped in, before it folded to Todd Tucker in the hijack who raised to 2,000. He was called by the player in the cutoff and the under the gun player.

After the Q♥9♦7♣ flop, it was checked to Tucker who bet out 3,500. He was called by the player in the cutoff, and the under the gun player folded.

Both players checked to showdown after the A♠ on the turn and 2♥ on the river. Tucker tabled K♠J♠ for just king high which was good, as his opponent showed J♥10♥ for jack high and said "I should've taken a stab at it" as she tossed her hand in the muck.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the river with the board showing 10♦8♣10♣9♠4♣ and roughly 21,000 in the pot.

Naga Valiveti in early position bet out 3,500, and Iman Alsaden on the button moved all in, which was snap called by Valiveti. Alsaden turned over 8♠8♥ for a full house, eights full of tens, but it was a nasty cooler as Valiveti tabled 10♠10♥ for quad tens, to take the pot a knockout Alsaden.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

A player in early position limped in, before Jason Coleman raised to 4,000 from middle position. It then folded to Jarryd Hawkins in the small blind who three-bet all in, which got the big blind and early position player to fold. Coleman then quickly made the call for his stack of 23,700, putting himself at risk.

Jason Coleman: J♠J♥ All in
Jarryd Hawkins: A♠J♣

Coleman had Hawkins crushed with his pocket jacks, and when the board ran out 7♥5♥5♠J♦2♦ he improved to a full house, jacks full of fives to secure the double up.
