McDonald Faces Big River Bet

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A player limped to Mike McDonald and he raised 11,000, getting a call from just the player in the big blind.

The flop was {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn was the {j-Hearts} and McDonald's opponent led out for 15,000. He called and the river came {5-Spades}. McDonald was faced with another bet, this time of 60,000.

McDonald sat back in his chair, settling in for a long think. After almost a minute of thought, he threw away his cards. The other player turn over just one of his cards: {a-Clubs}.

"Nice bluff," McDonald said.

Break Time!

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

There are 146 players remaining as they head to their second 15-minute break of the day. They'll return for Level 15.

Ante: 500

Tough Table!

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

There's a table with four WPT Champions all seated in a row with seven titles between them. With the worst position is WIll Failla with his one title, then Anthony Zinno with three, then Darren Elias with two, and Mike Linster with one. Just to add even more talent to the table, Marc-Andre Ladouceur is also seated across from them.

The whole table has been engaged in a long-running debate about who is the best quarterback in the history of football, with opinions varying widely but all sharing the same intensity and conviction.

Reading the Invisible Man

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

With large, dark sunglasses on and a hoodie covering his head and zipper pulled all the way up to his nose, Ivan Karim could be the invisible man. Good luck getting a read on this guy!

He opened preflop with a raise to 6,500 and Nimer Ltaif called to go to a flop of {q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. Ltaif checked, Karim bet 6,500 again, and Ltaif called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river came {k-Spades} and Ltaif checked again. Karim bet 12,000 and Ltaif made the call, showing {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and winning the pot.

Maybe you can still get a read after all.

Hall Applies River Pressure

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Cate Hall opened the action with a raise to 6,500 preflop and was called by one opponent. The dealer burned a card and swiped {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} across the table.

Her opponent checked and Hall continued with a bet of 7,500, which he called. The {4-Diamonds} was turned.

Both players checked and the final card was flipped over: {10-Spades}. It checked to Hall again and she fired out 22,000 this time. After a few moments' thought, her opponent gave up and she scooped up the pot.
