McMillen Shoulda Looked

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Ron McMillen
Ron McMillen

A player raised to 2,000 from early position, and Ron McMillen, who is in quite the jovial mood, looked at this cards in the big blind.

"They're suited, y'know," McMillen told his opponent as he called. "If they weren't I fold this!"

"I check!" McMillen said, looking away from the {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Spades} flop before it could fall. His opponent checked back.

"I check!" McMillen continued on the {q-Hearts} turn, still looking towards his opponent and not at the board. His opponent checked again.

The {4-Clubs} fell on the river, and McMillen checked aloud for a third straight street, still never looking at the board. His opponent checked a third time.

"Ace-high?" McMillen asked his opponent, who indeed held {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for ace-high. McMillen peeled the {3-Spades} up first, then the {k-Spades} second for king-high.

"Look at that! Had I saw my hand, I woulda bet!" McMillen said when he saw his flush draw on the flop. McMillen's opponent took the small pot, while McMillen himself looked none the worse for wear after the tiny loss.

Schuh's Ducks Sink Ace-King

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Craig Schuh
Craig Schuh

A player three-bet shoved for 10,700 on the button, and Craig Schuh made a reluctant call in the cutoff to put the button at risk.

Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Craig Schuh: {2-Hearts}{2-Spades}

Schuh fell behind on the {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop, but caught up immediately on the {5-Clubs} turn, making a wheel, and the {4-Hearts} river earned him a knockout.

"Told you I didn't want to!" Schuh told a tablemate after the hand.

Small Shove Earns Healthy Pot For Maras

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

Drew Maras checked from under the gun with a {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} board on the felt, and the cutoff checked as well. The button bet 4,400, and both Maras and the cutoff called.

The {7-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Maras quickly announced an all-in bet for 7,000 into the pot of 33,000. Both the cutoff and button quickly folded, and Maras took down the pot.

Currie Makes the Computer Hand Click

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jasen Currie had 8,000 out in front of him from the hijack with a {q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop on the felt, and was contemplating a raise to 23,000 from an opponent in middle position.

"Set of nines?" Currie asked his opponent, who didn't respond. Currie had 20,300 total in his stack and elected to call it off.

Jasen Currie: {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}

Currie's two-pair held on the {10-Clubs} turn and {8-Hearts} river to earn the double.

DiStefano On the Right Side of "A Gross One"

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

"I got a gross one for ya!" Nevada's Vito DiStefano told PokerNews during the break.

In the hand in question, DiStefano raised to 2,000 from early position, and an opponent in middle position three-bet to 7,000. DiStefano four-bet shoved for 19,000, and his opponent snap-called.

Vito DiStefano: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-}{a-}

DiStefano went from the outhouse to the penthouse on a {7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop to take a commanding lead, but the {a-} turn gave his opponent a set and some hope.

"There was a lot of cursing," DiStefano said of his opponent when the {q-} hit the river, failing to bust DiStefano's flush, and he took down the double.
