Batu Gets There

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Arkan Batu
Arkan Batu

Arkan Batu was in the cutoff and bet 14,000 into a pot of 20,000 on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}. His opponent moved all in for 27,000 and Batu called.

Arkan Batu: {4-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Batu had many outs heading to the turn, but the {4-Clubs} changed nothing. The river was the {3-Spades} improving Batu to a straight and sending his opponent to the rail.

Looney Nearly Triples While Hale Hits the Rail

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The preflop action escaped us but we do know that Devin Looney and Millard Hale were both all in preflop and at risk against Nick Davidson.

Nick Davidson: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Devin Looney: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Millard Hale: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}

The {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} flop all but sealed it for Looney, and the {9-Clubs} turn assured he'd win the main pot. Hale was looking for an ace to win the small side pot, but he failed to find it as the {8-Diamonds} bricked on the river.

Lamphere's Kings Hold to Eliminate Groover

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Adam Lamphere
Adam Lamphere

Adam Lamphere raised to 5,500 and got called by the hijack. Jason Groover was in the cutoff and moved all in for his last 22,300. Lamphere called and the other player folded.

Jason Groover: {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Adam Lamphere: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

Groover was calling for an ace as the dealer put out a flop of {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}. The {7-Diamonds} turn and {2-Diamonds} river was not what Groover was looking for and Lamphere scooped the pot and now sits with 100,000 chips.

Anderson Jams Flop to Take Down Four-Bet Pot

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

A player in early position raised to 3,000 and Chris Anderson three-bet to 8,500 from the hijack. When the action got to the big blind he put in a four-bet to 19,000. The original raiser folded and Anderson called.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Spades} and the big blind put out a continuation bet of 15,000. Anderson didn't waste much time before he moved all in. His opponent looked back at his hand one last time and threw it into the muck.

Cosby Finishes Off Kennedy

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

After a player limped from early position and Sam Cosby did the same, the short-stacked Courtney Kennedy checked her option from the big to see a {j-}{9-}{3-} one-heart flop. Kennedy moved her short stack all in and both Cosby and the limper called before checking the {5-Hearts} turn.

On the {7-Hearts} river, the limped checked and folded when Cosby bet 6,000.

Sam Cosby: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Courtney Kennedy: {9-}{3-}

Kennedy had flopped two pair but Cosby hit the runner-runner nut flush to send the WSOP bracelet winner to the rail.

The Ladies Love Sinclair

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

Sam Cosby opened for 2,400 from early position and picked up three callers before Ron Sinclair three-bet all in for 21,400 from the big blind. Cosby isolated by four-bet jamming and one by one the trio of limpers foled.

Sinclair: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Cosby: {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Sinclair had the superior pocket pair and was rewarded with a double after the board ran out {3-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.
