Blumenthal Plays AA Tricky

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Eddie Blumenthal held AA in a big pot.
Eddie Blumenthal held AA in a big pot.

Eddie Blumenthal opened to 450 in early position, and the cutoff called before the small blind three-bet to 2,600. Blumenthal made the call, and the cutoff folded.

The small blind bet 4,500 on the {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop, and Blumenthal called. The small blind then check-called 3,700 on the {9-Spades} turn, and an {8-Spades} hit the river. The small blind checked again, and Blumenthal put him all in for his last 9,000 or so. After thinking it over for about a minute, the small blind announced a call.

Blumenthal turned over the "weapons of mass destruction," as Mike Sexton is fond of calling them: {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. The small blind tossed his cards to the muck and told Blumenthal "nice hand."

Payne Ousts One

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

We found Ken Payne calling the all in of an opponent who had just over 11,000 in chips on a board of {4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}.

Payne: {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}
Opponent: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Payne had outflopped the unfortunate player, and his set held when the {3-Diamonds} and {8-Hearts} completed the community.

Ormson Clubs Gutfreund

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We found Larry Ormson with a bet of 1,175 in front of him after two players had checked a board of {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Clubs}. After thinking aloud for a minute, David Gutfreund made the call, and the third player folded.

"Got a pair?" Gutfreund asked.

Ormson simply tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a backdoor flush.
