Selseth Flops Trips for Monster Pot

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
MSPT Running Aces
MSPT Running Aces

In a three-bet pot, the player in the small blind bet 15,000 on an {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop and got called by Marinela Selseth in the cutoff. The small blind fired another 25,000 on the {5-Diamonds} turn, and Selseth announced all in. The small blind seemed distraught but called for about 120,000.

Selseth: {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Small blind: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

Only an ace would cost Selseth the massive pot, and the river brought the {9-Diamonds}.

Lang Bluffs Off a Chunk

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

In one of the last hands of Level 11, Mike Lang opened for 3,000 under the gun and got calls from both blinds. The big blind bet out 5,000 on the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop, and only Lang called. The {10-Hearts} turn prompted Lang to call another 7,000. On the {3-Hearts} river, the big blind checked and called right away when Lang fired 9,000.

Both players had missed flush draws, but Lang's worthless {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} couldn't beat {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}.

Adam Friedman shoved all in for about 13,000 on an {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop and was called by Mike Lang.

Lang: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Friedman: {a-}{9-}

Lang had a flush draw, and both players turned a pair of aces on the {a-Spades} turn. Friedman hit top two pair on the {9-Diamonds} river, but it was an unwelcome card as it gave Lang a winning flush.
