A player under the gun fired 2,500 into Richard Battistoni, who shoved for 7,200 more with the board reading . The player under the gun thought for a bit before tossing in a calling chip resignedly.
Under the gun:
Battistoni:
"Really?" a surprised Battistoni said.
The dealer burned and turned the as the river card, and Battistoni doubled up with his two pair.
We found the dealer counting out stacks in the aftermath of an all-in pot between Robb Cussen and Mike Reynolds. Cussen's cards were already in the muck, while Reynolds had face up in front of him with a community of .
Mike Shin opened for 1,025 in middle position and Tom Midena three-bet to 2,875 on the button. Shin called after the remaining players folded, and the two checked a flop. Shin checked again when the came out, and Midena decided on a bet of 2,650. Shin made the call, and two more checks quickly followed the river. Shin tabled , which Midena could not beat.
We didn't see the flop action, but four players put in 1,100 each after the hit the board in a recent pot. After the turned, the small blind bet 3,000, and only Jason Ramos on the button came along. An completed the board, and the small blind had barely finished checking before Ramos announced all in. His opponent tanked for a couple of minutes before mucking face up. Ramos turned over for the same two pair before taking the pot.
A player under the gun opened for a raise before another player in the cutoff made it 3,000. Fadi Hamad called on the button, and the initial raiser pushed all in for 3,650 total. Both of his opponents called. By the river, with nothing higher than a ten on the board, Hamad bet approximately 9,000 when his lone active opponent checked to him, and the player called.
Hamad showed to beat the of the all-in player and the of the cutoff.
One of the strangest pots we've seen in some time just went down at a nearby table.
It began with two limps to Jerry Gumila in the cutoff, who raised to 1,350. The button called, Tom Midena called in the big blind, and the first limper called as well. The second limper attempted to call but tossed out an extra orange T1,000 chip. He tried to pull it back after the dealer announced a raise.
"That's a raise," Gumila said. "Call the floor."
The floor ruled that it was indeed a raise, and Gumila pushed all in for about 20,000. The button and Midena quickly folded, and the first limper thought for awhile before mucking as well.
"Sick bet," Jack Sears, the second limper, said. "Call."
Gumila didn't seem excited to reveal his hand, and it was for good reason: he was dominated.
Sears:
Gumila:
The board ran out , and Sears doubled up as Gumila shook his head.
