Rosen Fires Into Hamilton Until He Runs Out of Ammo

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Guillermo Hamilton
Guillermo Hamilton

Errol Rosen raised to 800 under the gun and the player in the cutoff called. Guillermo Hamilton came along from the button and the player in the small blind called to make it four-way action to the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop.

The small blind checked, Rosen continued for 1,700, and only Hamilton called to see the {6-Clubs} turn.

Errol wasted little time in betting 3,300 and against Hamilton called.

When the {a-Spades} completed the board on the river, Rosen moved all in for 21,000 and Hamilton asked, "Did I really get that coolered?"

Hamilton then tossed in a call.

"I've got nothing," Rosen admitted before showing his {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for a little something. Hamilton then tabled the {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for flopped trips and the win. Rosen shook hands with Hamilton before heading for the exit.

An Orbit with WSOP Ladies Event Champ Jacquelyn Scott

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Jacquelyn Scott
Jacquelyn Scott

While she's a familiar face here at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, what Jacquelyn Scott is best known for is topping a field of 795 runners to win the 2015 World Series of Poker $1,000 Ladies Event for a career-high $153,876 and a coveted gold bracelet.

As one of the most accomplished players in the field today, we decided to spend an entire nine-hand orbit with Scott, who was sitting with 50,000, to see what she could do. Here's how it went down.

Hand #1 (UTG+1): The under-the-gun player folded and Scott did the same.

Hand #2 (UTG): Scott folded.

Hand #3 (Big Blind): A player in early position limped and three others did the same before Scott checked her option from the big blind. When the flop came down {10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, three checks saw the player in the hijack bet 1,400. The small blind folded, Scott and the other player called, and the dealer burned and turned the {7-Diamonds}.

Two checks saw the hijack bet 2,700 and only Scott called to see the {2-Spades} river. Both players checked and Scott said, "I have a deuce."

She then tabled the {2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for a missed straight draw that paired on the river. It was no good though as her opponent won with the {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}.

Hand #4 (Small Blind): A player in middle position limped before the lojack raised to 1,200. The player on the button then made it 4,000 to go and Scott got the hell out of dodge.

Hand #5 (Button): A player in early position raised to 1,100 and two more players called before Scott flatted the button. The player in the big blind came along and five players saw a flop of {10-Spades}{k-Hearts}{9-Spades}. The original raiser continued for 4,500 and everyone else folded, including Scott.

Hand #6 (Cutoff): Action folded to Scott and she let go of her hand.

Hand #7 (Hijack): The UTG player limped and Scott raised to 1,300 from the hijack. The button and both blinds called, and the UTG player made it five-way to the {2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop. Everyone checked as they did on both the {2-Hearts} turn and {k-Hearts} river.

"I think I got it," Scott said and showed the {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for kings and threes. Indeed she did as one by one her opponents all mucked.

Hand #8 (Lojack): A player in early position raised to 1,000 and Scott folded.

Hand #9 (UTG+2): The UTG player limped and Scott folded.

Scott ended the orbit a bit down with approximately 46,000.

If you’re from South Florida and like sports radio talk shows, then there’s a good chance you’re familiar with Andy Slater, who is in action today here on Day 1c of the 2019 Seminole Hard Rock May Deep Stack Poker Series $350 Deep Stack NLH.

Slater hosts The Andy Slater Show on 640-AM WMEN and iHeartRadio. He’s also an on-air personality and is often in the thick of big stories such as breaking Tiger Woods’ 2017 DUI arrest in Palm Beach, the unfortunate boat accident death of Miami Marlins player Jose Fernandez, and reporting NFL star Jason Pierre-Paul’s fireworks accident that caused him to lose several fingers.

As it happens, Slater is also a poker aficionado with $55,482 in live tournament earnings. That includes a career-best $13,982 for finishing 16th in the 2009 World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah’s New Orleans $5,000 Main Event. More recently he finished 16th in the 2018 Wynn Spring Classic Championship for $13,623.

He also hosts The Andy Slater “See You Later” Poker Tournament every month at the Seminole Casino Coconut Creek. That event costs just $100 to enter and features a $15,000 guarantee. Here’s a look at the flyer from last week’s event.

Convente Flops the Nuts But Doesn't Win the Hand

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Jay Convente
Jay Convente

The under-the-gun player raised to 2,100 and Jay Convente called from early position. Joe Basso came along from the hijack, both blinds called, and it was five-way action to the flop, which came down {6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}.

Two checks saw the original raiser continue for 4,500 and Convente just called. Basso then raised all in for 38,500, the blinds both folded, and the original raiser got out of the way. Convente snap-called and the hands were turned up.

Convente: {7-Spades}{9-Spades}
Basso: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Convente had flopped the nut straight while Basso had middle set. The {6-Clubs} turn paired the board and just like that Convente went from being a big favorite to drawing dead as Basso boated up.

The meaningless {4-Clubs} was run out on the river and Convente sent a big portion of his chips across the table.
