Rinkol Falls Victim to a Straight Flush

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Stan Carman raised to 3,200 from early position, and was called by Andrew Dockins on the button and Dan Rinkol in the big blind.

Action checked to Dockins on a {8-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Spades} flop, and he bet 6,200. Only Rinkol called.

Rinkol checked the {a-Spades} turn, then snap-called when Dockins jammed for 22,700.

Andrew Dockins: {5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Dan Rinkol: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Rinkol looked stunned upon seeing the straight flush of Dockins, and after the {j-Hearts} peeled off on the river, Rinkol sent the majority of his stack to Dockins.

Fredlund Staying Active; Dunn Surging

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Steve Fredlund
Steve Fredlund

Hand #1:

Steve Fredlund raised to 4,000 from early position, and everyone folded.

Hand #2:

Fredlund raised to 4,000 again from middle position on the very next hand, and only the cutoff called.

Fredlund fired 4,500 on the {10-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, and his opponent folded.

At the same table, the seat formerly occupied by Lexy Nuzum was empty, and a quick scan of the table saw Kaleb Dunn looking to be the biggest beneficiary, as his stack has more than doubled since the last time we took count of his stack.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

John Reiss jammed for 14,800 from the button, and was called by the player in the small blind.

John Reiss: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Reiss fell behind on the {2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts} flop, but stormed back in front on the {a-Spades} turn. The {9-Diamonds} river was clean for Reiss, and he doubled up.

Former RGPS Horseshoe Council Bluffs Champ Fouts Scores a Double KO

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A player jammed for 25,100 from early position, and a player in middle position called off her last 17,600. Mike Fouts, who won the 2018 RGPS Horseshoe Council Bluffs $560 Main Event, confirmed the larger amount, and called to put both players at risk.

Middle Position: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Early Position: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Mike Fouts: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Fouts held on the {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop, and after the {2-Clubs} fell on the turn, Fouts said, "Keep it low!" The dealer obliged with an {8-Diamonds} on the river, and Fouts celebrated with a fist pump, followed by a fist bump with another tablemate as he scored the knockout.

"Needed that!" Fouts said with a smile as he pulled in the large pot.

Marty Kinder
Marty Kinder

Marty Kinder raised to 4,500 from under the gun, and Steve Fredlund three-bet to 14,000 in the hijack. Kinder called.

Kinder check-called a bet of 11,000 from Fredlund on a {2-Hearts}{6-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, and both players checked the {9-Hearts} turn. Kinder bet 24,000 on the {6-Clubs} river, which sent Fredlund into the tank. A minute ticked by before Fredlund finally released his hand.
