Watt Just Happened?

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

We got to the table to witness a player all-in pre-flop from the big blind for his last 8,750 with [qdhq], up against Andrew Watt's {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}.

According to the table, Watt raised to 1,100 from under the gun and the big blind jammed for his remaining stack. Watt called. Apparently there was some history there from the satellite last night, and the big blind was freerolling this event after having won a couple of seats already.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Watt immediately flopped a flush draw. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} to complete his flush, but his opponent also held a diamond. The river was the {a-Spades} and Watt raked in the pot to send his opponent to the rail.

Ami Alibay Min-Clicks the River

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Garrett Dansereau raised to 800 from early position and got calls from Sofiane Boulila in the hijack, Ami Alibay on the button and David Guay in the big blind.

The flop came {j-Spades}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} and action checked to Alibay on the button. He reached into his stack and bet 1,200. Guay folded while Dansereau and Boulila called. The turn was the {4-Hearts} and action checked to Alibay again and he bet 3,000 this time. Dansereau called and Boulila folded.

The river was the {6-Spades} and Dansereau paused for a moment before betting 10,000. Alibay min-raised to 20,000 and Dansereau folded. Alibay confidently whipped over the {7-Spades} and mucked his other card face down. A player at the table asked if he had the {10-Spades} for a straight flush because there's a high-hand bonus. He opted to have the card remain face down and raked in the pot.

The Speech Play is Real

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

With about 4,500 in the pot, on a board reading {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, Paul Scott checked from the small blind. Louis Boutin was in the cutoff and bet 2,600. Scott paused for a moment and said "Oh these cards are gonna get me in trouble" and then called.

The turn was the {k-Hearts} and Scott checked again. Boutin thought for a moment and checked back. The dealer put out the {4-Diamonds} on the river and Scott said "Great. Shows weakness. I love weakness." He proceeded to bet 9,000. Boutin was in the tank and Scott said "You know what you gotta do" as he shuffled his cards back and forth. "You hit that" said Boutin. "I'm not allowed to talk about the hand" replied Scott. "If this was a cash game I'd ask you to pick one" he continued. Eventually, Boutin folded and Scott raked in the pot.

Mclaughlin Gets Value on the River

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With about 1,500 in the pot, on a board reading {a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Marc Etienne Mclaughlin checked from middle position. Frederic Cossette was in the hijack and bet 1,200. Mclaughlin called.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {5-Clubs} on the river. Mclaughlin paused for a moment and reached into his stack to put out a bet worth 2,400. Cossette thought for several seconds before cutting out some chips. He looked back at his cards once more and eventually called.

Mclaughlin tabled {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for two pair aces and sixes and Cossette mucked.
