Great Card for Massey to Barrel

Action folded to Aaron Massey on the button and he opened to 5,100. The player in the big blind defended and the flop came down {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

The player in the big blind check-called 5,100 from Massey on the flop, landing the {A-Clubs} on the turn. Another check from the player in the big blind led to another Massey bet, this one for 20,000. His opponent gave it some thought, but ultimately mucked.

Massey flashed {8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and as the table praised his bluff, he told them, "The ace was a great card to barrel. Didn't really mean to show, but I want to get paid off later."

Baker Bites The Dust

We reached the table to see that Brandon Caputo raised to 4,800 before the flop from the cutoff only to have a short stacked David "ODB" Baker move all in from the big blind. Caputo called and the hands were revealed to show that Baker was in the lead.

Baker: {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Caputo: {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}

Unfortunately for Baker, the flop of {3-Spades}{K-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} paired Caputo's deuce and Baker was unable to improve on the turn and the river, officially ending his run at the River Poker Series. Caputo, however, is one of the biggest stacks in the room with 218,000 in chips.

McClelland Bests Burbick

We caught up to find Anne McClelland and Corey Burbick seeing a flop together in a raised pot. McClelland checked her option on the {Q-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop and Burbick took the opportunity to fire a bet of 7,500. McClelland called and the dealer produced the {3-Spades} on the turn.

McClelland took control of the betting by throwing out 15,000 and Burbick quickly got rid of his hand. With this win McClelland is now sitting atop a mound of 250,000 in chips.
