Cohen Pays Him Off

Level 5 : 100/200, 25 ante

We came upon Sam Cohen and an opponent looking down at a board that read {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Cohen's opponent made a big river bet of 8,200, and Cohen went into the tank before finally deciding to call.

Her opponent rolled over the {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for the nuts, and Cohen tossed her hand into the muck. Cohen's stack has fallen to about 11,500.

Kirk's Stack Growing

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Tripp Kirk made it 600 to go from under the gun and received a call from the next seat over and the player on the button.

The flop brought the {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}, and Kirk fired a continuation bet of 750. His first opponent folded, but the player on the button opted to stick around to see the {10-Diamonds} drop down on the turn.

Kirk slowed with a check, but called when his opponent bet 1,425. The river was the {9-Spades}, and both players tapped the table.

Kirk rolled over the {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for top-top and took it down. He's now sitting on about 45,000 in chips.

Jaffee Just Can't Call

Level 6 : 150/300, 25 ante
Jared Jaffee
Jared Jaffee

Jared Jaffee opened to an unknown amount from under the gun. Action trickled all of the way around the table to the small blind, who made it 1,625 to go. The big blind cold-called only to have Jaffee four-bet to 4,200. The small blind tank-folded, but the big blind called once more.

"I check," she said before the flop was dealt.

The dealer spread the {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}, and action was on Jaffee after the check in the dark. He continued for 3,750, and once again his opponent stuck around. The {2-Spades} turned, and she checked once more to Jaffee, who slowly counted out 5,800.

"Alright, I'm all in," Jaffee's opponent instantly said, snap-moving all of her chips to the middle of the table.

Jaffee mulled over the decision for a bit, deciding whether or not it was worth risking 9,150 more. Eventually, he relented and released his hand. His opponent was visibly upset that Jaffee did not call, and he told her that he held pocket jacks.

With this loss, Jaffee is sitting on about 44,000.

More for Kirk

Tripp Kirk

Aaron Overton opened in early position, Tripp Kirk three-bet on his direct left, and the action folded back to Overton, who made the call.

The flop fell {3-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}, and Overton checked. Kirk tossed out 1,200, and Overton made the call.

The turn was the {6-Diamonds}, and Overton opted to lead out for 1,850. Kirk called.

The {9-Spades} completed the board, and Overton led again — this time for 2,900. Kirk reached for red T5,000 chips, raising to 11,000, and Overton tank-called. Kirk rolled over the {a-Spades}{j-Spades} for the nuts, and raked in the pot. Overton didn't show.

Campanello Gets Called

Level 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

After a series of bets and raises, Bryan Campanello fired an all-in bet of around 11,000. His opponent made the call, and opened up the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. Campanello tabled the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

The board ran out {8-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades}, and the player doubled through with a full house to beat Campanello's straight.

"I tried to get you to fold that exact hand," Campanello chuckled. "And you didn't."
