Vazquez Snaps with Trips

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Roy Vazquez
Roy Vazquez

A player under the gun bet 3,100 on a {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts} flop and was called by one player before Roy Vazquez made it 10,000 to go in the hijack. The bettor called, and the third player folded. On the {4-Hearts} turn, the first player open shoved to put Vazquez at risk for 15,100, but he was more than happy to snap-call with {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. It was the worst case scenario for the under-the-gun player, who had one out with {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}. He didn't get there.

McNulty Pops a Wheelie

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Thad McNulty
Thad McNulty

Thad McNulty bet 3,500 on a {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop from the big blind and got raised to 10,000 by a middle-position opponent. McNulty shoved all in and was called instantly for about 30,000, showing {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for a wheel.

"I'm dead," the other player declared, showing {4-Spades}{3-Spades} for top two. "Nice hand."

He wasn't quite dead as fours and threes would win him the pot, but the {j-Spades} and {5-Spades} were no such cards.

Bratovich Gets a Bit of Value

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

There was more than 20,000 in the pot on the turn as the board read {3-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, and Michael Bratovich checked it back from early position after the big blind checked to him. On the {q-Spades} river, the big blind checked again and Bratovich bet 8,000. He got a call and showed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}, and his opponent mucked.

McNulty Calls Shot

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

We found Thad McNulty all in for 19,100 over an opening raise from a player under the gun. The player said something inaudible to McNulty.

"I'm raising with good hands," McNulty declared. "You're probably beat."

The player wasn't scared off, and he called with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

"I've got you," McNulty said, curiously flipping over {k-Spades}{10-Hearts}. "Perfect."

Sure enough, the board ran out {5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades}, giving McNulty a winning pair of kings.

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Sriram Trikutam bet what looked like 2,500 or so from the big blind on an {a-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Spades} flop, and the player on the button put him all in for 14,100 total. Trikutam called off with {j-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a flush draw and was against {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}, top pair. Trikutam turned a flush with the {8-Spades} to lock it up.
