Thurman Triple Barrels

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

The under-the-gun player raised to 1,500 and Keith Thurman three-bet to 4,000 a couple of spots to his left, and the action folded back around to the under-the-gun who made the call.

The flop came {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and after Thurman's opponent checked he bet out 3,000 which got called quickly. The turn was the {2-Spades} and Thurman's opponent checked once again before he fired out 7,000 and his opponent called.

The {j-Hearts} landed on the river putting the fourth heart on the board, Thurman's opponent checked for the third time and he fired out 19,000 and that was enough to take down the pot.

Too Rich From Rich

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

Three players saw a flop of {k-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Hearts}. In position from the button, Irene Carey bet 3,000 which was called by Rania Nasreddine. Jacob Rich then raised to 8,500. Carey quickly called and Nasreddine got out of the way after about 20 seconds of deliberation.

The turn was the {6-Spades}. Both players checked. The river paired the board as the {6-Hearts} came off. Rich paused before jamming all in.

Carey went into the tank and played with her cards for a while before eventually folding her hand and handing the pot to Rich.

Shulruf Wins a Flip

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

The action began with the cutoff raising to 2,000, the button folded and the small blind moved all-in and Joel Shulruf was in the big blind who asked for a count. After finding out it was 21,800 he thought about it for a few more seconds and announced all-in for roughly 55,000 and the cutoff snap-mucked.

Small blind: [ 3s3c]
Joel Shulruf: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a race until the flop fell {a-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Spades} giving Shulruf a pair of aces and nothing changed on the {j-Clubs} turn or the {5-Diamonds} river, giving Shulruf the pot and eliminatiing his opponent.

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

A player in middle position raised to 1,300 and the action folded around to Nick Pupillo who called in the small blind and Rob Keeling defended in the big blind.

Michael Wang
Michael Wang

Michael Wang, who is coming off a sizzling week at Horseshoe Baltimore, has had a positive day thus far as he has built his stack up on each level.

The most recent chip up came on when he bet 8,300 on a board that read {2-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} which caused his opponent to think for a while before pitching his cards into the muck

Huge River for Donarski

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

The action began with the player in the hijack raising to 1,200 which the button called as did the small blind before Ken Donarski three-bet to 3,500 and all three players came along.

The flop fell {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and the small blind moved all-in for 7,100 and Donarski quickly called as did the button.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Donarski moved all-in for his remaining 32,400 and the button snap-called.

Small blind: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Button: {7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Ken Donarski: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Donarski was in bad shape as he was agianst a flopped two pair and the third player having a pair and a flush draw, however, the {a-Clubs} on the river gave him trip aces to double and eliminate the third player in the hand.

Jayne Pips Cosby

Level 7 : 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on the river on a board that read {8-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. The pot looked to be greater than 20,000 and close to 25,000. Samuel Cosby checked as did Jordan Jayne.

Cosby announced "seven" but he was pipped by the {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} of Jayne who turned over his hand to take down the nice sized pot to add to his large stack.
