Queen-High? It's Good

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Action folded around to the small blind who completed. Rex Clinkscales checked his option from the big blind and the flop came {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}. Clinkscales' opponent bet 700 and Clinkscales stuck around.

The {A-Clubs} paired the board on the turn and both players checked to see the {9-Spades} complete the board. The small blind tossed out a single t500 chip. Clinkscales thought for a moment, shrugged, and tossed out a call. His opponent rolled up {7-}{4-} for absolute air. Clinkscales showed {Q-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for queen-high and was able to take down the pot. He's now sitting on about 21,000.

Big Pot For Arieh

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

We caught up with the action on the later stages of the hand. The board read {10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and there was easily well over 32,000 in the middle. Josh Arieh was heads up with an opponent and staring down at the completed board.

Arieh's opponent checked and the suspense was high as action was on Arieh. After about thirty seconds Arieh tapped the table right behind. His opponent rolled over {J-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a busted flush draw. Arieh also tabled two hearts- the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. His pair of tens were good and he was able to drag in this massive pot. He's now sitting on 64,000.

Diaz Climbing

David Diaz
David Diaz

A short-stacked opponent was all in and at risk preflop holding {k-Spades}{q-Spades}, and David Diaz had him crushed with {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The flop produced {j-}{j-}{9-}, giving the player a gutshot straight draw, but the turn and river were both bricks.

The player was eliminated here on Day 1b of the 2012-13 World Series of Poker Circuit Palm Beach Kennel Club Main Event, while Diaz now has around 65,000 chips.

Birn-ing The Competition

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

The board read {K-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Nancy Birnbaum was heads up in the hand. Her opponent cut out a bet of 1,600 and Birnbaum flung out a call one chip at a time.

The dealer tapped the table and rolled up the {10-Diamonds} to complete the board on fifth street. Birnbaum's opponent checked and she took this opportunity to move 2,150 into the middle. Her opponent flashed the {A-Clubs} before finally deciding to throw away his cards. She dragged in the pot and is now sitting on 29,000.

Inselberg Finds a Double

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

Three players, including David Inselberg, took a flop of {4-Spades}{6-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. The action checked to Inselberg, who fired 2,000, and one player called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds}, Inselberg checked, and his opponent tossed out a red T5,000 chip. He must've announced a bet smaller than 5,000 however, because Inselberg check-raised to 8,000. The player moved all in for effectively 20,000 or so, and Inselberg quickly called.

Inselberg: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}

The {8-Hearts} bricked on the river, and Inselberg doubled to around 55,000 chips.

Nguyen Picks Up a Small One

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

The action folded to a player in the small blind, who limped in. Huy Nguyen checked his option, and the dealer spread {6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{3-Spades}. The player in the small blind checked, Nguyen tossed out a blue T500 chip, and the player called.

The turn was a repeat six - the {6-Spades} - and the gentleman checked again. Nguyen flicked forward an orange T1,000 chip, and the player opted to fold.
