Hen Asks and Receives

Level 10 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante
Ory Hen
Ory Hen

A short-stacked player was all in preflop and looking to survive against 2015 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Player of the Year Ory Hen.

Hen: {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

"Put a jack out there," Hen requested. The dealer obliged by delivering one on the {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Spades} flop.

The {j-Spades} turn made it trips for Hen, and he scored the knockout after the {6-Clubs} was run out on the river.

Scarola Holds to Score an Elimination

Level 10 : 500/1,500, 1,500 ante
Kevin Scarola
Kevin Scarola

A middle-position player raised to 3,000 and the player in the hijack called. The player on the button then moved all in for 23,000 and Kevin Scarola paused for a few beats before four-betting all in over the top for 43,000 from the small blind. The original raiser and hijack both folded and the hands were turned up.

Scarola: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Button: {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Scarola was ahead but his opponent held two live cards. Fortunately for Scarola, the board ran out a clean {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and he shipped the pot.

After four players limped, George Hortelano raised all in for 43,000 from the big blind. The first limped called, the other three got out of the way, and it was off to the races.

Opponent: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Hortelano was slightly ahead and looking to hold, which he did after the board ran out a safe {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}.

Pucci's Pizza is Aces

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Tom Puccio
Tom Puccio

Gustavo Lopez opened for 4,500 from middle position and the player next to act three-bet all in for 26,500. Tom Puccio, who owns a local pizzeria called Pucci's Pizza, then moved all in from the cutoff. That inspired the button and blinds to all fold, and for Lopez to get out of the way.

Puccio: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}
Opponent: {10-}{10-}

Puccio woke up with the granddaddy of all hands and scored the knockout after the board ran out {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} to improve him to a full boat.
