Hennings Gets Paid with a Boat

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Eric Hennings
Eric Hennings

Eric Hennings opened to 2,400 from the hijack before Austen Yueh three-bet to 7,500 on the button, and Hennings called.

The 9♦9♣8♣ flop checked through to the Q♣ turn which saw Hennings check again to Yueh who bet 6,000 for exactly one-third. Hennings then check-raised to 20,000, and Yueh tossed in calling chips quickly.

On the K♠ river, Hennings sized up to 30,000, which Yueh called after some deliberation, only to be shown the Q♥Q♦ of Hennings who turned a full house and got value on both turn and river to scoop a big one.

Case Ace Leads to Three-Way Madness

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Arlo Strozewski
Arlo Strozewski

Action picked up three-ways to an A♠3♠2♥ flop in a single-raised pot between the under the gun player, Arlo Strozewski from middle position, and the hijack. It checked to the hijack who bet 8,000, and both opponents called.

On the 7♦ turn, it checked again to the hijack who bet 20,000. The under the gun player called all in for about 15,000 before Strozewski check-jammed his 38,100 stack, and the hijack snapped it off as the covering stack.

Under the Gun: A♦9♣ All in
Arlo Strozewski: A♣Q♠ All in
Hijack: A♥8♥

Strozewski got it in good after the case ace fell on the flop. The K♥ river did not pair anyone's kicker, and the queen played for Strozewski to drag a huge one.

Bunch Fades Wood's Outs to Double

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Eric Bunch
Eric Bunch

There was just under 12,000 in the middle in a three-way pot between Peter Wood from the big blind, the cutoff, and Eric Bunch on the button with the flop reading J♥10♣8♠.

The cutoff had bet 8,000 before Bunch jammed for 35,500. Wood cold-called with the covering stack before the cutoff tank-folded.

Eric Bunch: J♦10♦ All in
Peter Wood: K♥Q♣

Bunch was ahead with top two pair against the open-ended straight draw of Wood. The Q♥ turn added even more outs for Wood, but the river was the 6♦, securing the double for Bunch.

Allen Finds a King to Double

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The cutoff opened to 2,000 before Danny Allen jammed for his final 12,400 from the small blind, and the cutoff snapped it off.

Danny Allen: K♥5♦ All in
Cutoff: A♣Q♣

Allen was behind but held live cards as the J♠J♥7♥ flop offered little help. As he tapped the table and walked away, however, the K♠ landed on the turn to give him top pair. He continued to exit the area until the 3♣ landed on the river, and he was cleared to return as his stack was counted and doubling chips were sent in his direction.
