Boghosian Pushes Hinton Off the Same Hand

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded around to the blinds and Debbie Hinton made it 10,000 to go from the small blind. Todd Boghosian called from the big blind and the flop came {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}.

Hinton led out for 10,000 and Boghosian called to see the {2-Clubs} on the turn. Hinton checked this time and Boghosian splashed in a bet of 15,000 which Hinton called.

The river was the {k-Spades} and Hinton checked again. Boghosian started sliding the rest of his stack in the middle and Hinton instantly folded.

"Girl, you're tough," Boghosian said as he flashed his {8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Hinton burst into laughter as she reached forward to turn over her {8-Diamonds}{6-Spades}.

Hills Runs Into Aces

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Friman Villalona raised it up in middle position and Andrew Hills three-bet shoved all in for just under 50,000 in the big blind. Without any hesitation, Villalona quickly called and Hills had an uphill battle.

Friman Villalona: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Andrew Hills: {k-Spades}{9-Spades}

The flop of {q-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} gave Hills nothing to be optimistic about but the {10-Diamonds} on the turn gave him a straight draw. The {9-Clubs} on the river wasn't enough and Villalona scooped the pot.

Hinton Carrying His Momentum Forward

Level 14 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Clyde Hinton just picked up his first WSOP Circuit ring last night in Event #8 which also pocketed him his second-best score to date with just over $10,000. He is looking to carry that momentum forward to the Main Event and so far it appears to be working for him.

The action folded around to the cutoff who ripped all in for a little over 30,000 which forced the small blind into the tank for a minute. He eventually folded and Hinton quickly called from the big blind.

Hinton turned over {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} which was dominating his opponent's {k-Spades}{q-Spades}. The board ran out {10-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Hearts} and Hinton's ace-high held on to earn him another pot.

Maglio Wins a Coin Flip

Level 14 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Vinny Maglio was down to just 30,500 chips and moved all in from middle position. The small blind re-shoved all in which got the big blind to fold and the cards were on their backs.

Vinny Maglio: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The flop of {k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} left Maglio in the lead with the only pair thus far. The {2-Spades} on the turn and the {4-Spades} on the river would not improve his opponent and Maglio scored a double up.

Vazquez Can't Bluff His Way to Victory

Level 14 : 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Steven Fuhrman opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Francisco Vazquez three-bet to 17,500 in the small blind. Fuhrman called and the two players saw a flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Both players checked and the {a-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Vazquez checked again and Fuhrman checked it back to see the {j-Spades} on the river. Vazquez finally tossed in a bet of 15,500 but Fuhrman made a quick call. Vazquez turned over {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for air while Fuhrman held {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} to win the pot.
