Hart Finds Value on River

Erick Torres
Erick Torres
Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Grant Hart limped from the small blind, which led to a check from Chris Baudean out of the big blind.

The 5♥10♣5♦ flop led to a bet of 60,000 from Hart. Baudean raised to 225,000. Hart called.

Both players checked the J♠ turn to bring the 8♥ river.

Hart put out a bet of 300,000, which sent Baudean into the tank. Baudean thought it over before he made the call.

Hart tabled Q♠Q♣ for queens up, much to the disappointment of Baudean, who showed 10♥7♥ for tens up.

It was a battle of the blinds as Grant Hart raised to 90,000 from the small blind and was called by My Nguyen out of the big blind.

The flop came 7♠8♣10♠ before Hart continued for 120,000. Nguyen shoved for approximately 175,000 and was called by Hart to be at risk.

My Nguyen: 7♦6♣All in
Grant Hart: A♠7♣

Hart had Nguyen dominated with the better kicker.

The 8♦ turn presented some chop possibilities, but the 4♣ river was the final card Nguyen would see in the main event.

Nguyen earned $9,118 for his sixth-place finish.

Wess Durocher opened to 90,000 from under the gun and got one call from Christopher Savage from the big blind.

Savage checked the flop of 7♥8♦5♠ before Durocher announced an all-in. Savage snap-called to put himself at risk for 250,000.

Christopher Savage: 6♠4♠All in
Wess Durocher: A♠5♥

Savage flopped a straight and was in prime position to double, as Durocher had little recourse moving forward.

The Q♥ sealed the deal in favor of Savage, making the 6♥ river procedural as Savage scored the double-up.

David Cocheles opened to 100,000 from the cutoff before Crystal Galyon shoved for her final 380,000 from the small blind. Cocheles called to put Galyon at risk.

Crystal Galyon: K♣J♦All in
David Cocheles: J♣J♥

Galyon was in trouble as her hand was dominated by Cocheles ' pocket jacks.

The flop brought no relief when it came 5♥2♥7♥, keeping Cocheles in the lead and the only flush draw to boot.

The 7♠ was of no consequence to either player.

Galyon hit her king, but it was the wrong suit when the K♥ peeled on the river to improve Cocheles to a flush and eliminate Galyon in seventh place.

Galyon earned $7,050 for her efforts.

David Cocheles shoved from the cutoff for 500,000 and was called by Christopher Savage on the button to be at risk.

David Cocheles: K♠Q♣All in
Christopher Savage: J♦J♥

Savage needed his jacks to hold, but the flop had other plans when the 2♣8♥Q♦ came to improve Cocheles with a pair of queens.

The Q♠ improved Cocheles to trips and the 2♠ river awarded Cocheles the double as Savage has lost back-to-back big flips at the final table.

Wess Durocher opened to 60,000 from early position before Chris Baudean shoved for 800,000 on the button. Christopher Savage woke up with a hand and went all-in from the big blind before Durocher folded, as Baudean was at risk.

Chris Baudean: A♠K♦All in
Christopher Savage: Q♥Q♠

It was a classic race, but it was Baudean who hit the flop when it came K♥9♥4♠ to give Baudean a pair of kings and the lead.

The J♠ turn was not what Savage needed, and the 6♥ river completed the runout as Baudean secured a big pot as the players went to break.

Brian Senie shoved on the button for 340,000 and was called by Chris Baudean from the small blind to be at risk.

Brian Senie: K♣2♥All in
Chris Baudean: A♠4♠

Senie was behind and needed some help to stay in contention.

The flop favored Banden when it came 3♥6♣4♣ to give Baudean a pair of fours. Senie, however, did gain a gutshot straight draw.

The 7♠ turn was not what Senie needed, and the 7♦ river completed the board, and Senie was eliminated in eighth place.

Senie earned $5,529 for his efforts.

This hand was picked up on the turn with approximately 300,000 already in the middle between two of the biggest stacks at the table on a board that read K♦4♠5♠8♥.

Christopher Savage fired 225,000 and was called by Wess Durocher.

The 5♣ turn did not slow Savage down. He kept up the pressure with a wager of 325,000 on the river. Durocher wasted little time making the call to go to a showdown.

Savage showed Q♣J♣ for queen-high. Durocher took down the pot when he revealed 10♦10♠ to win a healthy pot against Savage and take the chip lead.
