Tamayo up Early

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

Jonathan Tamayo opened to 600 first to act and found one caller in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and the big blind check-called a 1,000 bet from Tamayo.

Tamayo's opponent checked again on the {4-Clubs} turn, and Tamayo again fired — this time for 2,500. The big blind folded and Tamayo scooped the pot.

Ducks no Good For Bensimhon

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

With about 2,500 in the pot already on a {5-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} board, it appeared the player in the small blind bet 5,000 and Eyal Bensimhon went all in in early position.

The small blind tanked for some time, but eventually stuck his remaining 27,000 into the middle.

Bensimhon: {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}
Small blind: {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}

Bensimhon was drawing to two outs, and the {6-Clubs} river confirmed his opponent's double up.

Kessler Cracks Aces

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante
Allen Kessler
Allen Kessler

A player in the hijack open limped and the cutoff, button, and small blind all followed suit. Allen Kessler checked his option in the big and the flop came {j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{3-Hearts}. Action checked to the player in the hijack, who bet 1,100. Everyone folded but Kessler.

The turn brought the {3-Clubs} and Kessler checked, prompting an all-in bet for about 7,000 from his opponent. Kessler called and hands were revealed.

Kessler: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Hijack: {a-Clubs}{a-}

Kessler had turned the flush, and the {q-Hearts} river bricked out for his opponent — sending him to the rail and chipping Kessler up.

Andrew Moreno
Andrew Moreno

On a board of {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Andrew Moreno had a bet of 5,000 in front of him from the big blind. It appeared that his lone opponent had raised to 13,200 on the button and Moreno called.

The {7-Hearts} completed the board and both players checked. Moreno tabled {7-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for rivered trips and his opponent mucked.

Dever Down to Half

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

A player in early position limped and Catherine Dever raised to 1,200. Action folded around to Benjamin Moon, who called on the button. The player in the small blind then re-raised to 6,700. Only Dever called.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Spades} and the player in the small bet enough to put Dever all in for her last 15,500. Dever folded and is down to about half of her original stack.
