Spinella Versus Perry Once More

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante

The table where Sean Perry, Anthony Spinella, Mark Salsberg and Colin Dentan reside continues to produce big pots, and the latest one went Spinella's way after a river value bet against Perry.

Spinella bet 20,000 from the small blind with the board showing {9-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and Perry thought it over for a few moments before making the call. Spinella showed {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}, and Perry mucked upon seeing his opponent's two pair aces and jacks.

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante
Tim McDermott
Tim McDermott

Tylan Wilkerson limped in early position, Tim McDermott raised to 1,800 in the hijack, and Thomas Emerson three-bet all in for 21,000 total.

Action folded back around to McDermott, who made the call.

Thomas Emerson: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Tim McDermott: {a-Clubs}{a-Spades}

Board: {j-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Emerson was at risk and found himself up against McDermott's pocket aces, with the flop {a-Diamonds} giving McDermott top set. A heart came in on the turn, giving Emerson hopes of a river flush, but that flush didn't come, and Emerson headed to the exit.
