Gururaj Sagar Gets There on the River

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gururaj Sagar and Keren Dorit Kats were heads up on a {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} flop.

Sagar checked, Kats raised, and Sagar three-bet to 12,000. Kats didn't take too long before she four-bet all in and Sagar called.

Sagar was on the flush draw with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs} against the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} of Kats. The turn was no help, the {4-Spades}, but the {3-Clubs} on the river completed the flush for Sagar. He quietly celebrated with a fist pump and then raked in the pot.

Howie Do That?

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Mark Howie
Mark Howie

Mark Howie just got pocket kings two hands in a row, and got a bit of value from them too.

Hand #1:

He was heads up on the {q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and Kunru Ma checked. Howie bet 2,500 and Ma called. The turn was the {j-Hearts} and Ma check-called again when Howie bet 5,000. The river was the {5-Clubs} and now Ma took the lead, betting 7,800. Howie called and showed {k-}{k-} which won the hand just ahead of the {q-}{9-} of Ma.

Hand #2:

Four players saw the {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop and the action checked to Eric Schanck who bet 1,800. Ma called and Howie raised to 7,300. Schanck called and Ma folded. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river was the {j-Hearts} and both players checked again. Howie showed two kings {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, just like the previous hand and won the pot.

Maxime Paquette wins 3-Way All In

Level 7 : 250/500, 75 ante

Maxime Paquette just eliminated Daniel Gagnon and left Marc Doyer-St-Jean short after he opened preflop with queens.

Paquette made it 1,500 and Doyer-St-Jean went all in for 15,000. The next player to act was Gagnon, who went all in for less, about 11,600. Then Paquette shrugged slightly, as if there was no other choice, tossed out a chip and called.

He showed {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and was up against {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} and {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. The board ran out {7-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and the queens held. Gagnon was the shorter stack, so he was eliminated and Doyer-St-Jean was left under 3,000 which is just about six big blinds.
