Nick Marsh
Nick Marsh

Action was on the turn on a board that read {3-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Nick Marsh bet 8,000 and was raised to 18,000 by his opponent. Marsh thought a moment and called.

The river was the {q-Diamonds}. Marsh's opponent continued the aggression and bet 22,000. Marsh called after a few seconds.

His opponent showed the {8-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Marsh turned over the winning top pair hand with the {q-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} to gather in a large pot to swell his stack further.

Chip Counts

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ace on the River for Schilling

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

It was the classic flip in a preflop all in situation as James Schilling held the {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} against the {q-}{q-} of his opponent.

Things looked fine for his opponent through the turn as it ran out {6-}{5-}{6-}{7-} but the river came the {a-Spades} to bust the player holding queens and to give Schilling a nice dramatic pot.

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the river of a board that read {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}. Mike Shin bet 7,000 over to his opponent who called swiftly.

Shin turned over the {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for flopped trips which was good enough as his opponent mucked his hand in frustration.
