Dion With Heaps

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Howard Dion
Howard Dion

Howard Dion appeared to be the first person in the room with a stack of more than 200K just a few moments ago and just added even more to it in an all-in preflop scenario in which he was in the cutoff and had the small blind at risk.

Small Blind: {q-Spades}{10-Spades}
Howard Dion: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The all-in player was unable to find a queen as the board ran out {3-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and Dion added to his already massive stack.

A Small Double for Larson

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action folded around to the small blind who completed before Mark Larson shoved from the big blind for 12,000. The small blind called.

Small Blind: {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Mark Larson: {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}

The flop of {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Spades} gave the small blind bottom set, but the turn {10-Clubs} and river {j-Diamonds} gave Larson a runner-runner boat for the double.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Daniel Sepiol
Daniel Sepiol

March 2021 MSPT Riverside Champion Daniel Sepiol was in the big blind and defended against an early-position open. The flop came {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Sepiol checked. His opponent continuation-bet 6,000 and Sepiol check-raised to 20,000.

The early-position player thought for a few moments and then helicoptered his cards to the center of the table, earning Sepiol the pot.

England's Kings Toasted

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Kyna England
Kyna England

Kyna England's seat at Table 16 was just seen vacated and Brian Berthiaume confirmed that he was the one who did the deed. According to Berthiaumune, the hand went down at the end of last level with a player opening to 6,000 under the gun and England flat-calling in the hijack. Berthiaume jammed over the top for 68,000 and England immediately called it off once the under-the-gun opener folded.

Kyna England: {k-}{k-}
Brian Berthiaume: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

An ace in the window was all Berthiaume needed to pull ahead, fading the one outer as the runout completed to eliminate England from the tournament. He has since chipped up further and now sits with around 160,000.

Nicola Ditrapani raised to 3,500 in early position and action folded around to the big blind, who defended. The dealer fanned a flop of {3-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and the big blind checked to Ditrapani, who continuation-bet 2,500. The big blind check-raised to 6,000 and Ditrapani called.

The Runout Favors Blindert

Level 10 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Luke Blindert
Luke Blindert

A player open-jammed for 7,500 in early position and action folded around to Luke Blindert in the hijack, who announced a call. All remaining players folded and the two were off to the races.

All-In Player: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Luke Blindert: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}

"That's a fun flop," said the all-in player upon seeing {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Hearts} roll onto the board. The turn {k-Spades} changed nothing, but the river {10-Diamonds} fell in Blindert's favor.

"Send it!" exclaimed Blindert as the pot was shipped his way.
