Idrovo Still Sinking

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Mike Deis raised from a middle position and got one call, Ritchie Idrovo in the big blind. We didn't catch the action on the {5-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} flop, but Idrovo bet out 22,000 on the {2-Clubs} turn. Deis made the call, and both players quickly checked the {8-Spades} river.

"I missed," Idrovo said.

Deis flipped {a-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} and took the pot with ace-high.

Baime Turns Three-Outer Against Shorty

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Ken Baime opened for 14,000 on the button, and the small blind three-bet to 30,000. Baime put him all in for about 60,000 total, and the small blind called.

Baime: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}
Small blind: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The small blind moved as if to get up despite being far ahead, and the {2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop kept him in the lead. Baime binked the {7-Diamonds} on the turn though, and he clinched the win with a {6-Hearts} river.

Simon Fades Gumila's Outs

Level 14 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
John Simon
John Simon

John Simon check-called a bet of 13,000 from Jocelyn Gumila after a {5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop. When the {9-Hearts} hit the turn, Simon checked once more, and Gumila upped the stakes to 50,000. Simon tanked for a bit before pushing all in with his last 59,000 total, and Gumila called.

Gumila: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Simon: {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Simon was ahead with top pair, but Gumila could pair up or complete her gutshot to take the pot. A {j-Clubs} river was a brick though, and Simon got hit double.

John Hayes ran into a monster.

Allen Lanier opened to 20,000 under the gun, and John Hayes shoved for about 110,000. Behind him, Tony Pena reshoved for 201,000 total, and action folded back to Lanier, who tanked for awhile before announcing a call.

Lanier: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}
Hayes: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Pena: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}

"No ten," Pena said.

He got his wish when the board ran out {5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}, leaving his aces good and sending Hayes to the payout desk.
