Gambill Applies the Pressure

Nick Becker

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

Action went heads-up to a flop of 6♥10♦3♠ in a hand between Jason Gambill in middle position and Timothy Black on the button.

Gambill bet 4,000 and Black called, bringing the A♦ turn where Gambill bet 7,500. Black called again and the river landed the 10♠.

Gambill thought for a brief moment before firing out a bet of 21,000. Black flashed K♦Q♦ for the missed draw and the pot was pushed Gambill's way.

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

Brian Winter raised to 4,500 in the cutoff and Lauren Bunch defended in the big blind.

The flop came 8♦2♥3♠ and Bunch check-called a bet of 4,500 from Winter, bringing the A♥ turn.

Bunch check-called again, this time for 12,000 and the 5♠ landed on the river. Bunch checked for a third time and Winter elected to check back.

"Ace," said Bunch.

"I also have an ace but yours is probably better," replied Winter.

Bunch tabled A♣J♦ while Winter flashed the A♠ before tossing his cards into the muck.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Tracey Rudd raised to 4,000 in the hijack and Derrick Plumage flatted on the button.

The flop came 8♦9♠2♥, Rudd continued for 5,000 and Plumage called.

Rudd bet 5,000 again on the 9♥ turn Plumage called once more, bringing the 5♦ river.

Rudd bet 5,000 for a third time before Plumage announced a raise to 35,000. Rudd looked back at her cards and reluctantly tossed them into the muck.

"Probably a good fold, I have all the nines," said Plumage as he showed 9♦9♣.

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Eric Bunch open-jammed on the button for about 14,500 and Heather Alcorn called in the small blind for 12,000 to put herself at risk.

Heather Alcorn: 10♣10♠ All in
Eric Bunch: A♠10♥

The flop came 9♥5♥7♠ and Alcorn was in great shape to double up until the A♦ fell on the turn, propelling Bunch into the lead. The 3♦ river offered no help to Alcorn and she was sent to the rail.
