Christiansen Quadruples Via Motown

HillKerby

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

An early-position player limped in and Jamie Christiansen went all in from middle position. The hijack asked how much she had and she said 20-something. He asked the dealer for an actual count, which was totaled to be 2,900.

"Want some chips?" asked the hijack.

"Yeah," replied Christiansen.

"Okay, I'll call," replied the hijack to send both players into laughter. Action folded to Jim Morrison in the small blind and he also called, as did the limper, and action was checked through the runout .

Jamie Christiansen:
Under the Gun:
Jim Morrison:

More laughter ensued through the tabling of the hands as Christiansen's pair of fives was best among the four, earning her the quadruple.

Peragallo Sent To Reload

HillKerby

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante

There was around 20,000 in the middle on a board reading with three-way action. Andrew Peragallo went all in from the small blind for 15,700 and Tomas Brown called in early position. The cutoff folded and hands were tabled.

Andrew Peragallo:
Tomas Brown:

Peragallo's top pair was drawing dead against Brown's set and he stood up and walked away before the river hit the felt, heading straight to the registration desk to get back in on the action as the pot was shipped Brown's way.

Guerra-Alvarez Doubles

HillKerby

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

On the final hand of the previous level, Jeff Moskowitz raised under the gun to 1,400 and received a call from a player in early position. Action folded around to Hector Guerra-Alvarez in the small blind and he three-bet all in for 9,500. Moskowitz folded and the early-position player thought for about 30 seconds with calling chips in hand before dropping said chips onto the felt.

Hector Guerra-Alvarez:
Early Position:

Guerra-Alvarez was out in front and saw the flop come to leave him with just two cards left to fade. The turn made the river nothing but an afterthought as Guerra-Alvarez's top two pair scored him the double.

Smith Gets Rockets at the Right Time

HillKerby

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player went all in for 11,500 from the hijack and the cutoff called for about one-third of his own stack. Alex Smith then pushed forward a stack of T5,000 chips large enough to put the cutoff all in. He thought for some time and then announced it was time to gamble.
