Newman Scoops Wild Hand

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
Michael Newman
Michael Newman

A huge three-way pot was brewing at a table in the corner of the room.

The flop read {9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. It appeared as though the first player in seat 9 had bet 6,000. The next player to act moved all in for about 40,000. Michael Newman re-shoved his stack which was about 73,000. The initial bettor then had the decision on him as the at risk players were standing up, waiting for the verdict on their immediate future.

After several moments the chair was called over as one of the all in players had spoke about the strength of their hand. The floor ruled there was no foul play and the hand continued. After about a minute the initial bettor in seat 9 called and the cards were turned up, reavealing three pocket pairs.

First at risk player {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Michael Newman {9-Spades}{9-Spades}
Seat 9 {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Newman was in good shape with top set but had to fade the straight draw, while seat 9 had to hope for a miracle. The turn was the {6-Spades} to give Newman the boat and the {q-Spades} on the river confirmed the huge pot for Newman, eliminated one player and left seat 9 with a just a few big blinds.

Moses Shows a Bluff

Level 9 : 400/800, 800 ante
David Moses
David Moses

The turned board read {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and there was 9,600 in the pot when action checked to David Moses who bet 6,000.

His opponent check-called and the {k-Spades} completed the board. Once again Moses saw action check to him and he moved all in, totaling 18,100.

After a moment of thought, his opponent let go of their hand and Moses quickly {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} for just ace-high as he scooped in the pot.

Santos Survives; Johnson With Huge Stack

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante
Thomas Johnson
Thomas Johnson

Josias Santos was all in preflop with {q-}{j-} against {a-}{6-} of his opponent in a battle of fairly short stacks.

The flop came {10-}{10-}{8-}, the turn sent Santos into the lead as a {q-} came off. The river came {7-} and Santos eliminated his shorter stacked opponent to gain some much needed ammunition.

Meanwhile at the same table, Thomas Johnson was spotted with a huge stack, certainly one of the largest in the room currently.

Salazar Sits Down, Starts to Climb

Level 8 : 300/600, 600 ante

AJ Kelsall opened to 1,400 from middle position, Olamide Otti called in the hijack and Eric Salazar three-bet to 5,100. Otti was the only caller and the dealer fanned out [qhqcjh[ on the flop.

Both players checked to the {9-Diamonds} turn card where Otti tapped the table again and Salazar quickly threw in 5,000. Otti mucked and Salazar pulled in an easy pot.
