Bohn Flops Gin

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Four players saw a flop of {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and action checked to Lou Mortellaro, who bet 3,100 into a pot of about 4,000. Small blind Blake Bohn made it 7,000 to go, and Mortellaro called after the other two players folded. Both players quickly checked the {j-Hearts}, and an {8-Hearts} fell, prompting 15,000 from Bohn. Mortellaro thought for a bit.

"Two queens might be good here," Bohn said.

Mortellaro mucked, saying he actually had two nines, and Bohn showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} for a straight and then flush on the river.

Jones Forces Out Three

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We found Blake Bohn in middle position with 1,500 in front of him on a {j-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop against three opponents, all of whom called. On the {q-Clubs} turn, small blind Noomis Jones bet 7,000, and Bohn called, as did the two players behind him. A {7-Hearts} completed the board, and Jones moved all in. Bohn asked for a count, and it was 13,825.

He thought for a bit and counted his stack before dropping his hand in the middle. The two behind him quickly followed suit.

"Can I call now?" Bohn said. "I want to call now that they've folded."

The two players to Bohn's right told him he couldn't call, prompting him to laugh.

"Show the bluff," he said.

"Pretty hard to bluff there," Jones said, turning over the {q-Spades}.

"You have a four?" Mortellaro asked.

"What do you have?" Bohn replied.

Mortellaro showed a bluff, {q-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Bohn turned over {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}.

"Nobody ever thinks I have anything," he said.

Mortellaro called for a reentry.

Players are on break for 10 minutes.
