Cunniff Dusts Becker

Anthony Thompson
Anthony Thompson
Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

There were four players that saw a {5-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} flop and action was checked to Gerald Cunniff who fired out 6,000 into a 9,000 pot on the button. Paul Becker raised all in for 21,400 from the big blind and action folded back to Cunniff who called.

Paul Becker: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Gerald Cunniff: {j-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Cunniff out-flopped Becker but the {q-Clubs} turn wasn't the worst card for Becker as he added a gutterball.

The {10-Diamonds} river wasn't the card Becker wanted to see as he stood up and took his exit.

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

There was heads-up action after a {3-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop between Eric Nordstrom and Harsha Nagathihalli Jagadish.

Nordstrom checked his option from under the gun and Jagadish fired out 4,000 into a 5,000 pot. Nordstrom raised to 12,000 and Jagadish moved all in getting snap-called by Nordstrom.

Eric Nordstrom: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Harsha Nagathihalli Jagadish: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Nordstrom flopped a set of aces but the {5-Clubs} turn brought chop outs for Jagadish drawing to the wheel.

The {q-Clubs} river wasn't the card Jagadish wanted to see and he took his exit from the field.

There was three-way action on a {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} board and action was checked to Steve Belland who fired out 4,100 into a 6,000 pot on the button. The early position player folded while Carter Jones called from middle position.

The {5-Hearts} river completed the board and Jones check-called Belland's 4,000 bet.

Belland tabled {10-Spades}{8-Spades} for two-pair and Jones tossed his {q-}{x-} into the muck giving Belland the pot.

Justin Heilman opened for 1,100 under the gun and action folded to James Girouard, who three-bet all in for 8,200 total from the big blind. Heilman asked for a count and took about 30 seconds before making the call.

Justin Heilman: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
James Girouard: {j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades} to give both players a straight, but of course, Heilman's ace-high straight was better than Girouard's king-high.

Nicola DiTrapani opened for 900 from middle position and Alexander Peters three-bet to 3,000 from the hijack. David To called on the button and action was back on DiTrapani who four-bet to 13,000. Peters moved all in getting a fold from To while DiTrapani called.

Nicola DiTrapani: {a-}{q-}
Alexander Peters: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

DiTrapani was in a flip for his tournament life and didn't receive any help from the {2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop.

The turn brought paint but it was the {j-Diamonds} and DiTrapani needed to connect with one of his overs to stay alive.

Unfortunately for DiTrapani, the {j-Clubs} fell on the river pairing the board sending him to the re-buy desk.

Maxwell Bergquist: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Bergquist flopped a set against Peppe's rockets and improved to a full house with the {4-Hearts} turn.

If it wasn't already enough, the dealer dropped the case six {6-Hearts} on the river giving Bergquist quads sending Peppe to the re-buy desk.
