After a player limped in late position, Chris Tryba raised on the button. A player in the blinds called, the limper called, and the flop fell {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The action checked to Tryba who continued for 750, the player in the blinds called, and the original limper raised to 2,375. Tryba tank-called, and the player in the blinds begrudgingly folded.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, and Tryba's opponent led for 3,200. Tryba folded, and his opponent showed the {9-Clubs}. Tryba shrugged and proceeded to check his phone.

Six Players, 14 Checks, One Bet

Level 4 : 100/200, 0 ante

Aaron Massey opened in middle position for 475, Nachman Berlin called, the cutoff called, the button called and both blinds called. Six players went to a flop of {8-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {A-Clubs} and action checked all the way around. The turn produced the {J-Clubs} and all six players checked again. The river was the {9-Diamonds}, the blinds checked and Massey tossed out 1,450. All the other players folded and Massey picked up a pot that no one else wanted.

Just Before Break...

Andy Frankenberger wins a big one off of John O'Brien.
Andy Frankenberger wins a big one off of John O'Brien.

Dwyte Pilgrim and an opponent were heads up with the board reading {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Pilgrim's opponent check-called a bet, making the pot around 7,000 chips, and the {2-Spades} completed the board. The player checked again, and Pilgrim promptly tossed out 7,300. His opponent tank-called, and Pilgrim mucked. The player tabled {a-Spades}{9-Hearts} for good measure.

The very next hand, Andy Frankenberger, the WPT Season IX Player of the Year, gave a mini-speech in early position before raising to 375. John O'Brien called on the button, and the flop fell {9-Spades}{k-Hearts}{a-Spades}. Frankenberger continued for 500, and O'Brien called.

The turn was the {a-Hearts}, and Frankenberger tossed out 1,225. O'Brien raised to 3,500, sending Frankenberger into the tank.

"Really? You flatted with ace-king?" he asked.

O'Brien did not respond, and Frankenberger called. The river was the {7-Clubs}, and Frankenberger slowed down, checking to O'Brien who fired 6,000. Frankenberger called.

"You win," O'Brien sighed, turning over {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Frankenberger opened up {a-Clubs}{q-} for trip aces, and won the pot.

That Makes Sense

Roman Valerstein
Roman Valerstein

Roman Valerstein opened to 400 from the cutoff, and the action folded to a player in the big blind who defended. Both players knuckled after the flop fell {7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and the player in the big blind checked again after the {5-Diamonds} turned. Valerstein fired 575, and his opponent check-raised to 1,250. Valerstein called.

The {q-Hearts} completed the board, and the player in the big blind led for 2.275.

"That doesn't make sense," Valerstein muttered to himself.

He tanked for a few more seconds then called. His opponent tabled {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for the wheel.

"Straight?" Valerstein asked. "Ok, that makes sense."

Why So Sirous?

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Both players checked and the turn came {2-Hearts}. Jamshidi checked again and his opponent bet 1,500. Jamshidi peeked at his cards and tossed them back to the dealer.
