Kleinhenz Flops and Turns It

Level 12 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Brian Kleinhenz
Brian Kleinhenz

A player raised to 6,000 under the gun and Brian Kleinhenz three-bet to 18,000 from middle position. The action folded back around to the original raiser who called.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Kleinhenz's opponent check-called a bet of 18,000. The {10-Clubs} landed on the turn and the action was again checked to Kleinhenz who bet 30,000 this time. His opponent gave it some thought before she moved all in for 80,000, Kleinhenz snap-called.

Brian Kleinhenz: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Kleinhenz was ahead but still needed to dodge six outs. The river was a brick {2-Clubs} and Kleinhenz now sits at the top of the chip counts.

Joe Patrick
Joe Patrick

Joe Patrick raised to 6,000 from early position and the player in the hijack three-bet to 26,000. The action folded back around to Patrick who moved all in for 53,000. His opponent called.

Joe Patrick: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Patrick was in good shape headed to the flop and it got better as the flop came {3-Spades}{4-Spades}{9-Spades}. The {k-Diamonds} turn locked it up for Patrick and the meaningless {2-Spades} completed the board to give him the double up.

On a board reading {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} Levent Aksoy checked from the big blind to his opponent on the button who bet 10,000 into a pot of 13,000. Aksoy thought for a minute before he announced all in for an additional 28,500. His opponent called.

Levent Aksoy: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Aksoy had his opponent nearly dead but the {9-Clubs} turn card left him needing to fade four outs headed to the river. The {4-Diamonds} river was a brick and Aksoy got the double up.

Walt Fuge
Walt Fuge

A player in middle position started the action with a raise to 3,500. Adam Friedman was next to act and moved all in for 20,500. Walt Fuge was in the hijack and splashed his last 16,000 in the middle as well. Action folded back around to the original raiser who called.

Adam Friedman: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}
Walt Fuge: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Fuge and Friedman were both at risk but the {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{10-Clubs} flop put Fuge in the lead. The {k-Clubs} turn and {k-Spades} river changed nothing and Fuge got the triple up, while Friedman headed to the rebuy cage.

Daniel Bekavac
Daniel Bekavac

A player in early position opened to 4,500 and a player in middle position called. Daniel Bekavac was in the small blind and put in a three-bet to 16,000. The big blind announced all in for 22,500. The next two players folded and Bekavac was priced in to make the call.

Daniel Bekavac: {k-Clubs}{8-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Bekavac had only three outs but picked up another two when the flop came {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Clubs}. The {9-Hearts} turn card changed nothing but the {k-Spades} on the river sent Bekavac the pot and his opponent to the rail.
