Roy Holds To Double

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Patrick Roy
Patrick Roy

Action was three handed on a flop of {2-Clubs}{k-Spades}{4-Clubs} with a little over 4,000 in the middle and Patrick Roy was first to act, checking from the small blind. The big blind also checked and then a player in early position bet 3,500. Roy check-shoved and the big blind folded, sending action back to the early-position player, who asked for a count. The amount was totaled to be 12,100 and a call was announced a few moments later.

Patrick Roy: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Early Position: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Roy's top pair was ahead of his opponent's flush draw. The turn {3-Hearts} left him with just one more card to fade, which he did as the prettiest card in the deck {a-Spades} came to complete the runout and score him the double.

Karl Pirkopf
Karl Pirkopf

Karl Pirkopf opened in the cutoff to 1,200 and saw the big blind defend, taking action heads up to a flop of {10-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{6-Spades}. The big blind checked to Pirkopf, who continuation-bet 1,500. The big blind called.

The turn fell {3-Hearts} and the big blind checked again. Pirkopf fired a second barrel of 3,600 and the big blind immediately called. The river was {6-Diamonds} and the big blind checked for a third time. Pirkopf reached for chips, firing out another 5,000 and receiving a fold from his opponent to take down the pot with his third shell.

Big Blind: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}

Warner's eights held through the runout {4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{a-Clubs} to score him the easy double.

Bjorkman Earns a Knockout

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Chad Bjorkman
Chad Bjorkman

The under-the-gun player limped in and saw the player on his direct left limp behind before action folded around to January 2021 MSPT Grand Falls Champion Chad Bjorkman, who was on the button and limped in as well. James Eubanks then raised to 2,500 in the small blind and received calls from all three limpers.

Eubanks continued for 4,000 on the flop {6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and only the under-the-gun player folded, taking action three ways to the turn {8-Hearts}. Eubanks checked and the early-position player went all in for 10,800, with both Bjorkman and Eubanks each taking time before reluctantly calling. The two then checked the river {2-Diamonds} to take the hand to showdown.

All-In Player: {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
James Eubanks: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Chad Bjorkman: {10-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Of the three hands tabled, Bjorkman's two pair proved to be best and the pot was shipped his way as a result.

Morrell Triples with Broadway

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante
Jerry Morrell
Jerry Morrell

The board read {3-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} and Jerry Morrell was in the process of going all in for 18,900 in the big blind with both the under-the-gun Roeman Warner and on-the-button Clayton Ruff having each committed 8,000. Both players called the 10,900 difference and then checked through the river {9-Diamonds} to take the hand to showdown.

Jerry Morrell: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Roeman Warner: {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Clayton Ruff: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Morrell's Broadway earned him the easy triple after all the cards were tabled, with the third diamond on the river proving to be no issue whatsoever.
