Reid Trips Up Opponent for KO

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Terence Reid
Terence Reid

Kitkat Klassen raised to 6,000 from the cutoff and Terence Reid three-bet all in from the small blind. Action was on the big blind who called off their 30,000 and action was back on Klassen who mucked her hand.

Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Terence Reid: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}

Reid was behind holding live cards and a lady appeared in the window on the {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop to put him in the lead.

The {4-Clubs} turn brought possible chop outs if a club were to fall on the river, but another lady appeared {q-Hearts} improving Reid to trips as he eliminated his opponent from the tournament.

Dupont Melts Wazwaz

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Rob Wazwaz
Rob Wazwaz

Richard Dupont was all in preflop from the cutoff for 38,000 and MSPT Hall of Famer Rob Wazwaz called holding just 3,000 more from the big blind.

Richard Dupont: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Rob Wazwaz: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

Dupont was happy to learn he was holding a better made hand then Wazwaz and the {6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{a-Spades} runout secured his double-up.

"I don't think I've ever beat you in a hand before," Dupont said to Wazwaz as he collected the pot.

Wazwaz was left with just 3,000 chips which would be gone the very next hand.

Vang Continues to Build

Level 13 : 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kou Vang opened for 6,000 from under the gun and Michael Miller defended his big blind.

The {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{9-Spades} board was checked down to the {7-Hearts} river where Miller led out for 4,000 and Vang called.

Miller showed {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for sevens and fives but it was no good as Vang held {a-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to win the pot with a better two-pair.

David Bashel: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Bashel had his opponent dominated and improved after a queen appeared in the window on the {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop.
