Wysotchanski Gets a Triple

HillKerby

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

Day 2 entry Wagner Wysotchanski limped under the gun and saw Scott Massimiano raise to 10,000 in middle position. Harold Brendon called in the cutoff and action folded back to Wysotchanski, who limp-jammed for 32,000. Massimiano came over all in over the top and Brenden called; Wysotchanski found himself in about as good of shape as he could have asked for.

Wagner Wysotchanski:
Scott Massimiano:
Harold Brenden:

"Fair fight," said tablemate Ron West. The flop all but ended the hand right then and there, and Wysotchanski knew it as he let out a small fist pump. The turn brought him a small backdoor Broadway sweat, but the river came to give him a full house and score him the triple.

Brown Gets Value With the Nut Flush

HillKerby

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

Stephen Brown saw action fold to him in the cutoff and opened to 4,000. Nahid Toma three-bet to 8,000 on the button and action folded back to Brown, who called. The flop came and Brown checked to Toma, who made a continuation-bet of 19,000. Brown called.

Action checked through the turn and Brown cut out a bet of 40,000 on the river . Toma went into the tank, thinking for close to two full minutes before finding a call.

Brown turned over for the nut flush and the dealer pushed forward the three diamonds on board to confirm. Toma was unable to top it and sent his cards to the muck, earning Brown the pot to bring him near 300,000.

John Sun was also spotted at the table taking the five-seat that was previously occupied by Russell Boyker. Moments later, he was seen earning a double with ace-king and now has 62,000.
