Delaney Busts Set-Over-Set

Level 5 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Vincent Jacques raised to 23,000 from early position and got calls from Roger Gebhardt in the hijack, Trevor Delaney in the cutoff and Gaurav Arora in the small blind.

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and action checked around to Delaney and he bet 34,000. Arora called and Jacques went in for a check-raise to 131,000. Gebhardt folded, Delaney called and Arora tank-folded.

The turn was the {10-Hearts} and Jacques bet 252,000. Delaney instantly moved all-in for 430,000 and Jacques snap-called.

Delaney tabled {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for a set of fours but was disappointed to see that Jacques held {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} for a set of jacks. "Four of diamonds one time!" exclaimed Delaney. Unfortunately for him the river was the {10-Diamonds} and he was sent to the rail.

Another Break

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The next break will be in two hours and will last 45 minutes while players enjoy a buffet dinner courtesy of Playground.

"Again?!"

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board reading {j-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{k-Hearts}, with 250,000 in the pot already, Michael Pinoudis led out for 130,000 from the small blind. Linda Huard was on the button and paused for a moment before calling.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Pinoudis checked. Huard wasted no time and checked right back.

Pinoudis tabled {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for two pair kings and deuces with an ace kicker. Huard saw what she was up against and exlaimed, "Again?!" and shook her head in disappointment as she mucked her hand.

"I tried to bet and tell you I had a hand!" responded Pinoudis as he raked in the pot.

Sawers Checks Back Top Set

Level 3 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board reading {6-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}, with 100,000 in the pot already, Manfred Gunther checked from the small blind, as did the player in the big blind. Kathy Sawers was in middle position and bet 65,000. David Guay had a decision in the hijack and was visibly torn but eventually folded, as did the player on the button. Gunther called and the big blind mucked.

The turn was the {8-Clubs}. Gunther checked, Sawers bet 77,000 and Gunther called again.

The river was the {j-Diamonds} and both players checked. Gunther was reluctant to show his hand so Sawers took it upon herself to show {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for top set. Gunther mucked.

David Guay was at the table and said, "Wow! Top set!" Sawers sheepishly said, "There's a straight on board. He's in the small blind!" as she raked in the pot.
